SUMMER SONGS! The one thing I do like the summer is the yellowy orange light which makes everything seem a lot more fun and nice - the downsides are the heat and the sweating and the risk of tanning - yucko! That aside these songs have been keeping me joyous.

's Gold Skull sounds like a retro ice-lolly advert with joyously cute opening bleeps, but their friend Sleigh Bells has a more heavy handed approach to the electronics with the lightness coming from sweet sweet female vox. Plushgun's Mixtapes remix on the other is a cutesy affair on both the electronics and lyrics - twee and electronic like love and marriage - maybe twee-tronic will be a new thing. This beat is twee-twee-tronic.

Arcade fire have kept everyone at a distance with their secretive mythology stuff and maybe that's why I'm enjoying their new stuff for it's simplistic lyrics and accessibility- Month of may feels like it's already a 80s rock classic enjoyed by dads in their cars - of course, in a good way as opposed to a Jeremy Clarkson way! Simple-ness also abounds in Neverever's Young And Dumb - it's so upbeat and has a sound familiar to a lot of male fronted bands coming out at the moment - but I'd HATE this if it did have male vocals - I know, I'm a total man misandrist! Check me out!

Screaming Females -- there's actually so much I find joyous about this track that I don't want to say anything about it -- just listen! Summer bangerlanga Tinie Tempah's Frisky is totally disposable pop fun - I would totally risk it for a chocolate biscuit just to answer!

I've been obessed with Kelis's Scream since a lo-fi mp3 version leaked an age ago - ever since I first heard it I've been thrilled by the 'you'll ne-ver know' bit where it kicks in. I have a strong mental image of a load of normal looking people doing insane running around leg dancing with their arms flat by their sides - like river dance (but cooler).  I hope this is the next single and they do a video based on this!

Note to self - try to be more concise - please enjoy the musix!
