SONG OF THE DAY [#351]

'i miss you, someone' | cloetta paris

i'll swear on a stack of anything you want me to swear on that i had no frakkin' clue cloetta paris were sweden.  that's the honest truth, kids.  i had no idea.  it wasn't until i google-searched cloetta paris that i found their/her [i dunno if they're a band or a solo act yet] myspace page indicating they're/she's from sweden.  so there you go.  i think we can now scientifically prove that swedes make the best music in the world.  i mean, honestly, can anyone seriously make an contradictory argument?? you cannot.

anyway, cloetta paris make some pretty groovy sally-shapiro-meets-pet-shop-boys-meets-vince-clarke-style-keyboardadry music.  i dig it it immensely! it's pretty darn awesome, so make sure you check it out and go buy their/her debut, 'secret eyes,' available at, well, just about everywhere you can find an internet connection.  how can you not love anyone who does an erasure-esque cover of the classic john parr 80's anthem, 'st elmo's fire?'  answer: you cannot.


*** ok, i just listened to 'i miss you, someone,' again and yeah, it's an almost note-for-note copy of erasure's 'breath of life.'  funny, that.  i still love it!**

cloetta paris: i miss you, someone
cloetta paris: did we collide?
cloetta paris: st elmo's fire [john parr cover]

I was seriously just thinking about how Sweden has so many friggin good bands today haha. I'll have to check this chick out.
By the way, who's your favorite Swedish band? (I tried to think of a clever way to incorporate band into "meatball"...couldn't do it)

P.S.-what's your vote for album of the year thus far? I am going with Sigur Ros or this Japanese group called Love Psychedelico (favorite for years, just released their first stateside LP)
