Lykke Li

If you're into cute Scandinavian girl accents, then it's time to have a listen at Lykke Li. This 22-year-old from Stockholm might remind you a bit of Robyn, but even more of the likes of Feist (the mysterious instrumentation) and Emiliana Torrini (the fragile yet beautiful voice). Her album "Youth Novels" - produced by Björn Yttling (from Peter, Björn and John) and Lasse Martén (known for his work with among others Shout Out Louds and The Perishers)- gets a European release this month.

Lykke Li - "I'm good I'm gone"


Lykke Li - "Dance Dance Dance"

The David Watts Battle

Help me figure out: what's the best version of the legendary "David Watts"? The amazing original by The Kinks, or the excellent cover version by The Jam?

The Kinks - "David Watts"


The Jam - "David Watts"


It's killing me to make a choice between Ray Davies and Paul Weller, so you better hurry and do the job for me!
