now that we're midway through october...

here's that miike snow i alluded to last time around, this one seems to get stuck in people's heads (plus it appears the lead singer is some kind of hipster jesus):

another catchy tune, from a band made up of vampire weekend and ra ra riot:

drake is supposed to be the next big thing, but i pretty much got sick of his last single, and i can't say i understand this video - it's too long, features too many other artists & product placements, and why is lebron in it? but that said, i do listen to it when it comes on the radio: YouTube - Drake, Kanye West, Lil Wayne & Eminem - Forever (embed kindly disabled by universal music group)
