Paris is burning!?

What is it with burning cities that artists love so much? Ohwell, I don't care, because the songs are usually good. Ladyhawke's "Paris is burning" is a terrific example of this. Ladyhawke is a New Zealand artist whose music is straight from the 80's. Synth and electro all around, with a beautiful captivating voice. It's really fun music. Think "Cars" by Gary Newman meets the Yeah Yeah Yeahs (hell, the music vid for "Paris is burning" is similar to "Zero").

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - It's Blitz

A few months ago, the new Yeah Yeah Yeahs album "It's Blitz" came out. I just got a hold of it and it's pretty good. You might remember the song "Maps" from a few years back (it's also on Rock Band and fun as hell to play). I suggest you check it out. They were on the cover of "Spin" a few months ago. Here are a few tracks from the new cd:
