As we head to Southend for a day by the (windy and grey) seaside, here are a few new musical snippets that have caught my attention lately...
Wow! A new (and quite fabby retro-sounding) single from Blondie! With this very odd zombie video, let's hope that Mother brings Debs and the crew back to the UK charts where they belong...
Next up, a haunting new song from Canadian warbler Austra:
I am so excited! Another new outing for the campest band of the 90s, Alcazar! Here is their new choon, a collaboration with some combo calling themselves Drum Beats - it is fabulous:
And to finish, a little bit of Baltic totty - the lovely Latvian Markus Riva with his forthcoming single How It Feels To Be A Man. I have heard the English version, and I think it sounds better in his native tongue (oo-er missus):
Enjoy.
Happy Bank Holiday weekend!
