New Mika

I love when my favorite artists have new music.

Talk About You is Mika's latest single, and is hopefully part of a new album, that we will hopefully be getting later this year.

I love shiny happy pop music, and this song is just that. It is the type of song that you can't help but smile while you are listening to it.

The only other song that makes me want to get up and dance as much as this one, is Walk The Moon's Shut Up And Dance.


 

Weekend Tunes

I discovered Schuyler Fisk this weekend and one of the songs I've totally fallen in love with is called Paperweight, which she recorded with Josh Radin. It appears on the soundtrack for Dear John and The Last Kiss.

Have a listen to a live version and fall in love with



Oh and lastly...Mika can sing anything...and he can sing it in French...

The One Thing That Always Takes Me To My Happy Place

What is it about Mika that just always makes me happy? I haven't figured it out yet, but there are a few things I think might cause the smiles.

1. Those big beautiful brown puppy dog eyes.

2. That damn catchy pop music that he sings so well.

3. Have I mentioned that he's as cute as a button?

I almost feel dirty lusting after him, even though he's in his mid twenties! He looks like a little kid, albeit a very sexy little kid.

See what I mean. I sound dirty.

Damn you Mika! Damn you for being so cute and innocent looking.

Ever Have One Of Those Dreams?

Ever Have One Of Those Dreams?

I think there's a problem when you have a bunch of friends that like the same artist and then you really like that artist and it kind of dominates your mind and becomes an obsession.

I have one of those. His name is Mika and its disturbing to me.

I really thought I'd given up celebrity crushes for good awhile back and to make matters worse, I usually pick older celebrities to crush on.

Suddenly there's Mika! And he's a wee bitty baby of what...26!

GAH!

I mean just watch the beautifulness of him on Letterman last week.



And all this talk and the fact that The Boy Who Knew Too Much hasn't left my car CD player in over a month has managed to produce strange dreams. Last night I was dreaming that Mika and Sliimy were at Monroeville Mall!

WTF!

Strangest dream ever!

And I didn't even take any Nyquil!

Somehow I ended up shopping with Mika and looking for a place to eat! He looks like he's never eaten a day in his life!

One thing I know, I'm glad that there's a snowballs chance in hell of me ever meeting this boy, because I know I'd make an ass of myself when I came face to face with these eyes.



GAH!

Too flipping beautiful.

I'm going to bed now so I can dream some more...and ponder if it would be possible to clone him. A Mika for anyone that wants one!

Sound Alike Artists: Mika and Sliimy?

Sound Alike Artists: Mika and Sliimy?

I always hate it when I see people make really close comparisons to artists I like. However, in this age of music that spawns so many clone bands, its hard not to see these.

For me the lastest annoying sound alike is the Mika and Sliimy.

We all know I adore Mika. I love him from the top of his curly head down to the tips of his Converse All Stars! But what about Sliimy. Of that I'm not too sure. At first glance he seems like a bad wannabe. He has a similar disheveled mop of curly hair. His fashion sense if so far over the top that it just jumped the Eiffel Tower from his native France. His music is distinctly pop.

Having listened to Mika's two releases and Sliimy's Paint My Face I really can't see the why people are comparing the two, other than they both are very very poppy.

Mika, in my opinion, which is both personal and arrogant, is the better artist. He's got more pizazz and personality and his music just gives me more fun happy vibes. Mika has a more distinctive voice too. That cross between Freddie Mercury, Andy Bell with a touch of the falsetto of Jimmy Somerville makes him stand out.

Regardless of what critics may say about The Boy Who Knew Too Much, all the tracks are very listenable and are the kind that you sing along to at the top of your lungs and bounce around the bedroom too, or your office. You can't help but feel good when you listen to him.

Then there is Sliimy. I'm kinda put off by his name to start with. Then there's the fact that he looks like Prince if he was dressed by a few gay guys playing wardrobe practical jokes. But all looks aside, its his girlish sounding voice that puts him a couple rungs down from Mika. The first time I heard him, I wasn't really sure he was even a "he."

Now before you think I'm slamming Sliimy, I'm not. His album is quite good, but he doesn't sound like Mika. He just does cheesy pop music and has a similar style, that in my book shouldn't put him in a "sounds like" category. I find Sliimy's songs to be a bit more trite, especially when he's singing about ebay auctions.

I do love his single Wake Up, which is very infectious, though the way he sings "birthday" makes me want to run for the hills. He also does a creepy cover of Britney's Womanizer that should be banished from the world.

If you haven't checked out either artist I suggest you do so, NOW! I don't think any fan of pop music would be disappointed in either.

That said I'm going to watch the video for We Are Golden again, cos I love Mika dancing around in white boxer shorts.
