fresh & unknown (yet) : Little Boots

6 months ago (that's like 50 blogyears according to hipster runoff ), i heard and enjoyed a song called 'stuck on repeat', by little boots, without any back information.

Now, i regret my lack of research, because little boots is a very cute british girl + her name is Victoria Hesketh + she's also frontwoman of dead disco + her first EP is produced by Joe Goddard from Hot Chip + she has a blog + released a free mixtape 'Computer Fairyland Mixtape' + she will be dj-ing in the LA @ Nocturnal Festival, in LDN, in Paris, in Athens, in Berlin ... + Little Boots is in this month’s Dazed & Confused, FADER and Spin magazines, as well as this week’s NME Radar feature + she drinks stella artois + did i say she's pretty ?

Great Games

My little country, belgium, got only two medals, and in the last days, what a suspense !

one silver (female 4x100) and one gold yesterday, with the female high jumper Tia Hellebaut. Congrats !

But for the rest, we suck at sports (because there are no structures and no political will, but that's another story...)

Hope your country did well !

Here are some nice pictures, 

AND the Nike+ original tracks i've already shared you, but i hope you will do some sports now !

'God, this country is complicated !

Followed by very cool concerts all over the country, and even in Paris, the band recorded his first EP, called Northern Lights !

fresh & unknown (yet) : Passion Pit

One of my favourite blogs, Good weather for airstrikes, is about to stop. The blogger has launched his own record label, Neon Gold ! They will drop their first release in september, a single from Massachusetts-based pop crew Passion Pit. Listen to the brief but effective introduction to the sound of what Pitchfork calls "a glistening array of woozy textures that call to mind both the atmospheric twee-scapes of A Sunny Day in Glasgow and the ecstatic seaside fantasias of Air France ...
