Just now Googled "dancidelic" & my best-of 2012 post here was the 2nd hit. Finally, my 15 minutes of fame. Someone please confirm it's simply a flashback moment so my head doesn't swell. Off to dreams of "dancidelic" as the #1 search key and its inevitable monetization. Bwwaahahahaaaa...!! //

NP: 1st listen of Ash -/**/Kablammo! -- power-pop on stun mode, sounding as punchy & loud Midwest USA as Northern Ireland.

>> These have been getting the most spins (or bits per second), generally via the mobile device thingy during commute time. Provided non-walled garden links where available.
>>
>> * Jessica Pratt - On Your Own Love Again: Her 2nd lp. From San Francisco, gifted with an otherworldly voice, intuitive songwriting skills (beautiful almost old-school melodies with strange chord forays ala Tim Buckley) and a very direct presentation. What's not to love? Tho no bandcamp/soundcloud lp streams, YouTube has most songs. Her 1st from 2012 is also stunning.

>> * Kate Pierson - Guitars and Microphones: B-52 singer's first solo record. Not overly B-52-ish, with an 80s AOR tint (not overproduced like most 80s stuff) in her Jersey-girl-adopted-southern-belle way. Again, best way to hear most songs is a YouTube mix.

>>
>> * ESKA - ESKA: A London (via Zimbabwe) session singer, songwriter & musician. Another debut album. She issued a 5-song EP in 2013 which received acclaim, tho this lp is my first exposure. Her bandcamp site has a lengthy bio, but only 3 cuts. Soundcloud offers more music.

>> * Django Django - Born Under Saturn: Originally clued in to these guys via Michael Bennett. A Scottish quartet (based in London) creating maybe the best dance club type music at present (today's Cut Copy). Lots of synths, melody & harmony (men's chorus) and syncopation. Better than most at song craft. YouTube wins again.

>>
>> * Best Coast - California Nights: A continuation of the duo's surf-meets-the-Muffs southern California dancidelic rock. Lots of melody & noise & not a sad note anywhere. Makes me want to twirl, leap & pogo. Literally all links on the net point to their official Tumblr page which only offers the full lp on Spotify.
