STARSHIPS WERE MEANT TO FLY, HANDS UP AND TOUCH THE SKY

New music from Nicki Minaj!!

Wow, I completely forgot about this song, and it's pretty kick-ass. Starships was released about 2 weeks ago, and it's making me want to see Nicki Minaj live even more now! I can't wait until she comes to Tokyo!

IT'S NOT EVEN MY BIRTHDAY BUT HE WANNA LICK THE ICING OFF

SLIIMY COVERS LANA DEL REY

Sliimy, who happens to be one of my favorite french artists (and also my big brother!), has just released a cover of Blue Jeans by Lana Del Rey! I love this man's voice. 

THE VACCINES AND HOWLER DO TOKYO

Last night I had the pleasure of attending the The Vaccines' show, who were joined by Minnesotan band, Howler. Truth is, I basically went to that show to see Howler play Back of Your Neck (which I had previously blogged about) and it was amazing! The Vaccines were also great, although a bit too drunk, but I'd say that made the show even better.

PS- The Vaccines announced at their show last night that they will be returning to Tokyo in August for Summer Sonic 2012. 

UPDATE: As I had previously stated, The Vaccines will be back for Summer Sonic, and now word is Howler will be back for Fuji Rock Festival. I'm very excited for both.

WU LYF

ZULU WINTER

YOUTH LAGOON

And as for the second day, February 19, the lineup is:

SPIRITUALIZED

ATLAS SOUND

TORO Y MOI

ANNA CALVI

PERFUME GENIUS

YES, that's right. TORO-Y-FUCKING-MOI. So sad I'm missing this. 

And as for the tickets for Saturday's show, if any of the bands is willing to give me a ticket so I can blog about the show later, please feel free to contact me at sala2122@gmail.com 

Free shows are what make this blog! 

UPDATE: I have already been contacted and have tickets for tomorrow's show. Thanks for the help!

WON'T SOMEONE TELL ME AFTER ALL, WHAT HAPPENED TO THE FIREFLIES OF MONTREAL?

"But I've heard from encounters with the past

That creatures gentle glowing never last"

I found this song on Tumblr a few months ago, and just realized I hadn't posted it on this website. Laurena has the most beautiful voice and the lyrics to this song is amazing! Enjoy Fireflies of Montreal.

WE COULD LET THIS LOVE BE THE FADING SKY, WE COULD DRIFT ALL NIGHT UNTIL THE NEW SUNRISE

A few months ago someone who used to mean the world to me sent me this song, and I just found it on my history last night. Here's to moving on, and remembering the good times, because you can't avoid someone forever. This is Free by Donavon Frankenreiter and Jack Johnson.
