About This Site

Each month I select 20 songs (10 songs twice a month) that I am either hooked on or am curious about. Most of the music I select are rock, hip-hop, R&B and pop songs.

My song selection comes from 20-30 CDs I get from various sources each month, as well as recommendations from iTunes and Amazon. I also check out the charts in US, UK and Japan.

The XX - Islands

Album: XX

A lot of indie rock magazines named this young British group as the next band to watch. Spinner magazine placed this song, “Islands” as the fourth best song of 2009. Several of their songs have been used on major TV shows as well. I recently got a hold of their debut album, and as a whole I was a little bored. I can tell that musically they sound unique and different. This song somehow reminds me of Lykke Li’s “Little Bit” little bit.
