Meep’s Musings

Ohrwurm time! If you can tell me why this song is called “Pumpkin soup”, you… well, are smarter than me . Point is though that this tune by Kate Nash is extremely catchy, and the bright colours of the video are a perfect match.

I’ve always liked Moloko (of “Sing It Back” and “The Time Is Now” fame), especially the voice of their singer called Roísín Murphy. Now that Moloko is no more, Murphy has gone on to make music as a solo artists and has released her second album called “Overpowered” a few months ago. Better late than [...]

You know the spiel by now: I have an ohrwurm, you’re introduced to a new song . So here it comes – Duffy with “Mercy”.

I came across this song a few years ago (2003 to be exact) and re-discovered it recently – feel good music never gets old! The following makes me sound really old but I remember that this was the time before the radio station’s websites had track listings, so I actually wrote to the station to [...]

My newest discovery: Feist, a Canadian singer-songwriter, who was featured on “The L Word” recently – that’s how I noticed her. Definitely worth a listen!

This upbeat song called “Worst Case Scenario” by the Hoosiers reminds me of an 80s classic whose name I can’t remember for the life of me – something with cats…? Does anybody know?

Grammy time! Despite making more headlines with changing hair colours, incarcerated husbands and substance abuse than with her music, Amy Winehouse has managed to snatch 5 of the Grammy music awards. Congrats!

How I could overlook John Mayer’s new single “Say” until now (it’s been released in November 2007!), I don’t know. What I *do* know though is that I absolutely love, love, love it now that I’ve listened to it nonstop for two hours! Check it out on John Mayer’s official website…

I really like Last.fm, I think the idea is fantastic. I even have a profile but it hasn’t been active for a long time. The problem I have with it is that the scrobbling software forever crashes my Winamp and if it doesn’t do that, it doesn’t really scrobble. So I’ve had an on-again, off-again [...]

My top 20 list of breakup songs (and no, they are not all whiny ballads :p!)
And if you’re curious to what they sound like – give Mucelli a try, where you can listen to loads of songs for free.

Apart from being a drastic example of the yo-yo effect in between projects, Janet Jackson also manages to come up with some catchy songs. Latest example: her single “Feedback”, to which you can listen on her official website. Enjoy!

Especially these days… I present thee: a hilarious cat fight between the Minogue sisters.

I really enjoy your music, and “Back to Black” is one of my favorite albums of this year. I’ve introduced all my friends to your music and on more than one occasion, presented your CD as a gift because I think everybody can find something in it they like. I have mainly ignored the reports [...]

It’s been a while (in fact, it was June) when the Corrs’ lead singer Andrea Corr released her solo album “Ten Feet High” on to the unsuspecting and largely uninterested public. I listened to it for quite a while and “Stupidest girl in the world” has become a memory song (trip to London), so of [...]

It seems the promotion for “Ten Feet High” has finally kickstarted, with Andrea now the proud owner of:
