I don't know much about the French duo Di Maggio, but this is a great track. I guess this sounds a lot like that other French duo, Air, but with a more pronounced Morricone influence. Very nice regardless...
Neko Case has dropped 'the Boyfriends' and pushed the musical boundaries with her new album 'Blacklisted.'
She's moving away from alt. country and incorporating more elements from jazz, soul and experimental music.
The best example of this is Outro for Bees (Reprise), a hidden track on the album. It incorporates jazz(ish) vocals with found sounds to create music that sounds like a badly tuned radio. Very effective and musically challenging...I'd like to hear more like this from her!

'Catscan' is an absolutely hilarious number from chanteuse Carolyn Mark (and the Room-mates).
This song is about mutual recrimination, fidelity and growing old with the one you love (and hate), and could easily be a duet between Archie and Edith Bunker.
Wonderful stuff!
