Just a friendly reminder to set your alarm clocks for this coming Thursday, Dec 3 when La Blogotheque, one of the most beloved music blogs of all time, will release a very special performance by breakout artist of the year Phoenix. By the looks of the teaser they will perform under the Eiffel Tower. A more perfect stage for the French power pop group does not exist. Check back Thursday for the full session.
I was pretty stoked when I ran across this video today for the new Calvin Harris single Flashback, definitely one of my favorite finds of the day. The song is very catchy, well constructed and sure to be a dance floor killer.

I also recently became engrossed by a new sound coming from Miami Horror, who also just dropped a new single and artful video to go along with it. Look out for the full album soon.
I caught the Miike Snow (click for all BDN coverage) show in ‘The City’ earlier this week, and Jack Peñate put on a fun opening set. It is also worth noting Miike Snow stopped using an autotuner in their live performances.
Jack Peñate has definitely got an eccentric British musician thing going on, as revealed in his videos below. The ‘Pull My Heart Away’ video was shot in the same location as Indian Jones Raiders of the Lost Arc - And who doesn’t love that?

The new Pela album is due out in late 2009, or early 2010, or..whenever they F’ing feel like it! The release date keeps getting pushed back, but luckily they are still puting on live shows to keep us satisfied. Check out these two new tracks from the upcoming album.
Remember when MTV actually played music videos, ones that you even liked? Well, in memory of the many things that have come and gone (R.I.P. Mike) we’ve saved you the effort of trying to find MTV 8 on the TV and will be showcasing a short playlist of handpicked music videos we appreciate.
Week 1:
Big Sean - Getcha Some (Dir. Hype Williams) : Fresh visuals paired with a catchy track off the upcoming album “Finally Famous” (look for Kanye)
