For starters... check out:
Alphabeat performing the "DJ". The recording isn't the best, but their energy is infectious!
After that, check out this odd clip of Ou Est Le Swimming Pool performing "dance the way I feel" on a British TV show. Fantastic performance... topped with some seriously crazy dance moves (watch the little kid!!!)!
A cool tip: Alphabeat and Ou Est Le Swimming Pool have been gigging together recently... so keep your eyes out for upcoming shows!

Ok... so I just missed seeing Yes Giantess... but they are so good, and their performance of "Can't Help It" makes my top ten. Awesome! And for those lucky enough to see them with Little Boots... send me an email and let me know how it was!!

The next three additions to my top ten, are three of my top ten-artists on my i-pod at the moment - Calvin Harris, FrankMusik, and The Sound of Arrows. Future music, future pop, future dance with a twist...
Calvin Harris's performance of "I'm Not Alone" is outstanding and explosive. Let's have it London!
FrankMusik has been tearing it up for a while... but with his new album... he'll surely start to gain the mass popularity that his music deserves. Enjoy "Better Off As 2"... wicked.
And if you haven't heard of The Sound of Arrows... you must. The performance I've included is interesting, but it's not polished at all... but brilliant in it's own right. The song... "Into the Clouds"... the most precious single of the year.

Ok... so I'd be remiss in not mentioning the new The Killers's Live DVD... Live in England, the boys from Las Vegas... blow the roof off The Royal Albert Hall! The clip I found on YouTube is "when you were young". Rock n' rolllllll!!!! Makes me want to start a band!!

And finally... here's a hat-trick of retro performances that round out a perfect 10!
The Shout Out Louds performing "Impossible" - one of my favorite tracks this December. And I was just checking out their myspace page... and they are in the studio working on their next album. Yippie!!!
Then check out... Space Cowboy in Japan performing a DJ set... spinning "Talking in Your Sleep." The crowd is nuts! In the best possible way!!! I love this song! It's my gym companion - helping me stay in shape!!
And finally, M83 instantly became one of my favorite bands when I heard "Couleurs." This performance is so awesome. Enjoy!
And for a recap - all live, all awesome, all-mighty!!!:
Alphabeat - DJ
Ou Est Le Swimming Pool - Dance The Way I Feel
Yes Giantess - Can't Help It
Calvin Harris - I'm Not Alone
FrankMusik - Better off as 2
The Sound of Arrows - Into the Clouds
The Killers - When You Were Young
The Shout Out Louds - Impossible
Space Cowboy - Talking In Your Sleep
M83 - Couleurs
Respect. CEK... C2k7 2011!
