New Swedish faves jj are gearing up for a big year. First they'll be releasing a new album March 9th, entitled "jj no3" or however it is you do that stupid degree o sign thing. I've had a Mac for years now and I'm discovering new shit everyday. Did you know about Garage Band? Anyways, second from jj is their tour with Young Creature faves The xx. This is the event of my 2010 (The other is the summer release of Twighlight: Eclipse. So. Excited.)
Anyways, lucky for us, jj and their label Secretly Canadian are feeling pretty generous, because they released a track from the upcoming album for free. It's pretty cute. But even cuter is the double release of another song called "My Way" which samples the entire Lil' Wayne verse from Trina's bitch anthem "Don't Trip". It's totally cute.
jj - my way (ft. Lil' Wayne)
You can catch the entire jj/xx tour itinerary HERE
Some more gams:
Uffie - Pop The Glock (Mirwais Remix)
Metronomy - Black Eye/Burnt Thumb
P.S.
Spot the cute dyke in the girl band. My personal fave Mel C is being replaced.

You should've seen me in my prime
I'm well aware that this is a queer blog and I ride the queer line more than the 36 bus, but kids, it's hard. I don't know any queer bands really. Which explains my fascination with not quite mainstream, still quite underground pop, which I call weirdo pop (I throw the term weirdo around a lot apparently). It's cool to be weird. And by weird, I mean not giving a fuck what's popular and managing to get your fuck on regardless of what culture tells you. Acts like Sgt. Sass, Bry'nt, and the love of my life Roisin Murphy have been doing their own thing for a while now whether or not we catch on. Sometimes, these jams manage to sneak under the radar and into pop culture. Remember that Gucci ad campaign with Roisin's cover of "Slave To Love"? Love it. And I think I find myself nowadays not really caring whether or not something is queer related. Sexuality doesn't determine quality jams. If it's a quality song, I'm on your side.
That being said, I really wish I knew more queer music. Instead, you're gonna have to settle for pop music made by bands you've either never heard of, never wanted to hear, or your new favorite. WEIRDO POP.
