Yelle's two-part video for singles "Safari Disco Club" and "Que veux tu." 

She's another French over-achiever (I sense a theme these past few weeks in stereo land...) and she's playing the Regency Ballroom on May 19th in San Francisco. There's just something about a lovely brunette singing sugary and addictive songs to me in French. Translation: dance.

Okay, we didn’t work, and all memories to tell you the truth aren’t good. But sometimes there were good times. Love was good. I loved your crooked sleep beside me and never dreamed afraid. There should be stars for great wars like ours.

Friends are from new band from Brooklyn. Here they sing about a seldom mentioned yet prevalent subject: friend crushes. You so have had friend crushes. I've had like a dozen. 

"I want to be your friend/ I want to ask your advice on a weekday/ I want to plan something nice for the weekend."

Ain't that the truth. Especially sung to a steady backbeat and shakers.

Been listening to GEMS for months - and now obsessed with this extended edit of their best track, "Medusa."  

Top 3 Female Vocalists I've heard live:

Josef Salvat - ‘Every Night’

Bon Iver recently released the single "Calgary," which contains on the flip-side a gorgeous cover of Bonnie Raitt's "I Can't Make You Love Me."

It's unreal good. My mom may just crap her pants.

The Wisconsin band is slated to perform at Berkeley's Greek Theater on September 22.
