No other preamble, let's get back to the goodness I harvested in December...
Admiral Fallow - Squealing Pigs: The accent is oh so lovely, but it's wrapped up in a perfect little sing-a-long pop song, so it's all perfect.
Angus & Julia Stone - Hold On: Shades of Lykke Li here, with a string section used to great effect.
April Smith and the Great Picture Show - Movie Loves A Screen: A bit adult contemporary listening perhaps, but there is a fun little Kate Nash kind of groove going on here, or a goofier Emmy The Great thing.
ARP & Anthony Moore - Wild Grass I (for Arthur Russel): a stunningly subtle chamber piece from the album Frkwys Vol. 3.
Don Johnson Big Band - Cocoa Cacao: This heralds back to 2006, but I just discovered now. Total ecstasy on that chorus, and great flute grooves.
Gobble Gobble - Nikki (I Am Not The-Dream cover): Mmmmmm Gobble Gobble! My favourite new find of 2010! They kick off 2011 with a new single, the Secret 7", and we're all weak in the knees.
Heike Has The Giggles - Robot: Bikini Kill sounds for the 2011 world! An oddly titled band, with a track from the oddly titled album "Sh!"
Jefre Cantu-Ledesma - River Like Spine: Drone ambient off the new album Love Is A Stream.
Los Chicharrons - Ma Do Nar: No no, not the Josh Martinez side project. This one's even doper.
Mansions on the Moon - This Life (DJA Mad Decent Remix): The Paradise Falls albums was kind of a bust, but this track bumps in all the ways you'd expect a Mad Decent track to bounce.
Mar - Mar Variation, 1st Session: From the 2010 album Mar Variations, a smooth slice of down-and-out soul.
Martian Gang ft Insight & Dagha - Got Skills Galore (Groovemanspot Remix): This is from 2005, but I only recently heard the 12" that had this rare remixes on it, and I just loved it.
Meursault - Crank Resolutions
Meursault - William Henry Miller Part 1: I haven't heard the full album, "All Creatures Will Make Merry", but these songs are amazing, giving me impressions of The Twilight Sad, but with more of an acoustic dingy cabin sort of feel to them. OK, some Frightened Rabbit too. And no, it's not just the accent!
Nosaj Thing - Light #1 (Take Remix): 2 of my favourite producers make out and give us this little groover as a memento!
Peter Wolf Crier - Untitled 101: Not much to say here, quaint little folk pop.
Priors - What You Need (Hey Champ Remix): I love the light discey synth and the bubblebass on display here. Perfect pop achieved with great restraint and just having enough of everything, like an 70s pop funk groove.
Säkert! - Dansa, fastän
Säkert! - Riot: From the 2010 album Facit. Wow, lots of music in this update where I have no idea what they are saying. But good music often transcends language boundaries, and these songs are truly awesome.
Sky Larkin - Kaleide: Radio friendly grrl pop fun, ala The Pipettes.
The Big Pink - Velvet (Mount Kimbie Remix): I never thought The Big Pink would get a slick bass remix like this, but leave it to the magic of Mount Kimbie to take something so poppy and fun and make it mysterious and alluring.
The Details - The Original Mark: ...aaaaaand we're outta here for the weekend! This is from the "The Original Mark EP". Enjoy!

Re: DJBB – The vocals on that track are by the ever-lovely Emma Salokoski. Don't know if she's up your river musically, but do check out her solo records if you find the time.
