Good to know that Bic Runga has a great sense of history judging from this test she took, but what’s also great is her single “Hello, Hello,” which will bring out the jolly cheer in you very fast on this sullen winter. Also, her album Belle is not to be missed.

1Kelly Rowland has some great songs up here sleeve, but for her to start off with the David Guetta-vomitted “When Love Takes Over” just ruined everything. We much prefer “Down For Whatever,” thank very much.

The Knife perform “Pass This On” live!
1It’s been a while since we heard from the Knife, it’s good to get a snippet like this in the morning. This song was used in the 2010 drama film Les amours imaginaires by Canadian director Xavier Dolan. The film premiered in the Un Certain Regard section of the2010 Cannes Film Festival. At any rate, the album is supposed to drop in the new year!

The album will be released on December 13th on Deutsche Grammophon.

Introducing… Second Person
3
In late 2001, singer Julia Johnson and producer/bassist Mark Maclaine met, and early the following year formed the band Second Person. They spent the next two years writing material and playing gigs with a variety of musicians. Drummer Alvaro Lopez was recruited in mid 2004 and Second Person’s debut album Chromatography was released later that year. It went on to sell out of its initial white-label run in the United Kingdom, USA and Australia. The band went on to record a live DVD at The Bedford in London and score music for a number of British broadcasters, including the BBC and Channel 4, and became one of the main suppliers of music for The Extreme Sports Channel.
In 2005 Second Person were finalists in the Glastonbury Unsigned Competition, coming in the top 24 bands from 1600. They also wrote widely for short films and features, contributing songs and composing original scores, as well as working solidly to refine and develop their sound and material.
