Blimey what IS she wearing? Excellent stuff - I am going to blog this STRAIGHT AWAY.

When grime met techno?

I really like this!

Not many people biting for this one, but at the same time it was hard for me to come up with much of anything. Jerkin' music seems to be the hott thang this month, even though I am reliably informed that it is already getting old with Teh Kidz. New Boyz seem to lead the pack, though I haven't heard a heckuva lot of it.

In more disappointing news, I think the best album I heard this month was by YACHT, which isn't saying much for albums (not that it's bad at all, I like it, it just seems like a really whatever "best of the month" pick).

Also, the Marilyn Manson album is ACTUALLY GOOD. Not sure if that was June or May. Per Frank's rec, try "Arma-goddamn-motherfuckin'-geddon," original or Teddybears remix.

For people who like emo that sounds like it coulda been hooked by Dr. Luke, try a Jimmy Draper rec, "Love Drunk" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fa7L_Ym9aZQ) by Boys Like Girls.

For people who like Stylus Jukebox near-contenders for the Top Ten, try Make the Girl Dance's "Baby Baby Baby," preferably WITH VIDEO (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ih_4UJ-Vyzo).

For people who like Rihanna tracks that might be fake, try "Te Amo." (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-td2qZ_kx8)

For people who like goofy but sub-par Lil' Wayne knock-offs, try Cold Flamez "Miss Me Kiss Me Likk Me." (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tSSCsx4m3E)
