Santigold “Please Don’t”
“As promised, here is a further update on the Here Lies Love project that Fatboy Slim and I did. The full package will be released February 23, but in the meantime, listen to one of the songs - “Please Don’t,” sung by Santigold.
I think Santi did a perfect version of this song, which describes, pretty much in her own words, Imelda Marcos’ adventures in what she called “handbag diplomacy.””
- David Byrne

Plain weird, but interesting. Read more about Damon Dash’s “hippie art collective” aka “DD172”
“You can spend hours at 172 Duane Street, in Tribeca, and still have no clue what’s going on here…DD is for Damon Dash, the 38–year–old fallen hip-hop impresario who thought it would be cool to start a hippie art collective right smack in the middle of one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in Manhattan. It is, in short, the kind of scene you hoped still existed in Manhattan, but feared might have gone away.”

The Knife “Colouring of Pigeons”
The Knife, in collaboration with Mt. Sims and Planningtorock, are to release the studio version of the opera ‘Tomorrow, In A Year’, on the 1st March 2010.
Commissioned by Danish performance group Hotel Pro Forma to write the music for their opera based on Charles Darwin and his book ‘On the Origin of the Species’, The Knife decided to make this a collaborative process, working with artists Mt. Sims and Planningtorock for the first time, to capture the huge width of the Darwin and evolution theme. http://theknife.net

Royksopp “Royksopp Forever”
I saw Royksopp last night at Club Nokia in the Staples Center. It was a fantastic show, and this epic song is the tune they opened with. Epic.
It was a who who of Swedish music. Not only did Robyn sing two songs, but so did Karin from The Knife/Fever Ray!
