Intensely irritating but somehow likeable. The infamous irish duo are perfect for promoting Dragon Quest on the Nintendo DS. The game looks naff, but they’ve got me talking about it.

My Idea and Saatchi & Saatchi

marjoda — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 21:28:27 +0000

I’m not really allowed to say too much about what’s going on.

But, I will say that, as a group, we responded to a brief set by Saatchi & Saatchi. I just got word from the agency that they will be using my idea. I have been offered a week of work placement with them, to take during the summer, I assume.

All very good news. Hopefully I will be able to reveal my idea at some point.

Let’s delve into the archives for some cheesy dance pop. I wore out a NOW CD playing this on repeat in the 90s.

This one must bring back memories? Or is this your first listen?

Julia Marcell – Night Of The Living Dead

Discovered this artist a few weeks ago. She recorded her debut album from donations made through sellaband. I don’t think she has toured the UK yet, I’d love to see her live and get an interview with her. Such a go getting girl with beautiful classical music sung with punk edge, as she puts it. I say she is a less wild Tori Amos. Check her out:

Ellie Goulding – Not Following You

A little find from You Tube:

Apparently not going to be on the album – which I’m eager to listen to. Let me know what you make of this song? Saccharine Pop – but I love it.

Ta to Sheryl for the find.

Two Door Cinema Club – I Can Talk

Today, some fast dance indie for you. Although indie seems to be slipping out of the charts at the moment, Two Door Cinema Club have just launched their debut album Tourist History. Check it out. This is the lead single ‘I Can Talk.’ They’ve just been championed in the BBC Sound of 2010 poll; tipped for big make sure you catch them at a small venue or summer festival.

They are keen twitterers – Follow them @TDCinemaClub

Download their album!

I’m enjoying the album artwork, too.

I can’t talk about what I may or may not be working on for Saatchi and Saatchi at the moment. But it is all good stuff
