How long has it been since I’ve posted some Eliza Doolittle on the site? Even if t was yesterday, it’s been too damn long. Since having this site up and talking to other bloggers, I’ve realized that every music blogger has one artist who they’re madly in love with. Confusion of Pigeons & Planes would do anything to post about Lykke Li. Hell, I think he even wrote her a poem. Me? Well, I’d probably do the same. I’ve actually met Eliza Doolittle and I froze up. “Like a B%&$!,” my friends would say.

I need to see her again; I

Only a few more hours. F*ck yeah! I’m stoked. Tomorrow shall be the beginning of an amazing weekend for all you folks heading out to Coachella. Seriously, I might pass out; and not from the heat, but from all the glorious music! Alright, so we introduced many great artists and bands during our Countdown to Coachella series, and I’m saddened that we weren’t able to bring more artists into the limelight, but I’m sure you’ll be seeing a lot of them more on the site. I have compiled a set of tracks from several artists and bands whom I will be checking out during this weekend’s festivities. So, if you can’t join us, you can still jam with us.

Eliza Doolittle’s music video for Mr. Medicine has been out for a few weeks now but VEVO had blocked it in the US until now. Mr. Medicine is a track off Eliza’s self-titled debut album, Eliza Doolittle. She brings out Gingerbread, Yo! Gabba Gabba, Mario Mario, Pikachu, and even a few creatures from Where The Wild Things are. Ha. No, really, check it out.

Also, be sure to check out her visuals for “Skinny Genes” after the jump.

Jeffco once warned me Dearsonginmyhead would turn into an Eliza Doolittle obsessed blog. This is another wonderful video to add to the theory. First off, I think everyone can agree she has amazing vocals. She does a cover for one of my all time favorite songs.. What else can I say? She’s ELIZA DOOLITTLE.

I thought UK pop star Eliza Doolittle couldn’t get any cooler until I watched this. Here she covers Cee-lo Green’s “Fuck You” while backstage at a concert. She has an incredible voice and her kick game is on point.

What better way to end the year then to, well, look forward to next year? 2012 was so (almost) last year. We put together a list of bands and artists that we think you should know about in the coming year. Some of these names have been coming up and we’re expecting them to blow up while others have been on the scene for a while and we’re just looking forward to some new material.

PK – We first caught wind of PK when we were asked to interview them while they played a show in Hollywood. We obliged, thankfully because these guys turned out to be a pretty dope group. Their show was intense and they had two good singles to excite the crowd. My turning point was when I caught myself singing along to “Berelain” a couple of months after the interview. It’s become a part of my almost-everyday playlist. So what you waiting for, guys? Come down and make your move (new music!).

Listen to: PK – “Berelain”

Black Kids – I listen to bands more often whenever I start wanting to see them in concert. Black Kids’ debut album was some few years ago and earlier this year they said a new album is in the works. Next year should be pretty big for them if they’re really looking into some new music.

Listen to: Black Kids – “I’m Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance”

Daft Punk – This is all rumor here: They’ve been rumored to play at Coachella for years now. There’s been some talk of them having new tunes out by Glastonbury 2013. Whether that correlates with the rumors of playing in the desert in April or even at Ultra MF is yet to be seen. Regardless of where they make their comeback, anything new in 2013 from Daft Punk is a gift from the music gods.

Listen to: Daft Punk – “One More Time”

Gold Fields – I went crazy over this band in October and November. I went to three of their shows and couldn’t get enough. These Aussie mates became one of my favorite acts to see in person. Excited more of these guys in the future.

Listen to: Gold Fields – “Dark Again”

New Politics – New Politics remind me of everything I used to listen to as a kid: from Weezer and Rage and a hint of Nirvana all mixed in. Their second album is in the works and is set to be released early in 2013. This is the band where when they come one you say, “Fuck yeah, I love New Politics!”

Listen to – New Politics – “Yeah Yeah Yeah!”

Other notables: Sky Larkin, Strange Talk, Eliza Doolittle, Warpaint, Icona Pop, Free Energy, and Fez.

Right here, this right here is probably — most definitely — the best song I’ve heard all year. Give me some Boyz II Men-like vocals coupled with just a hint of today’s pop-tuned sounds and we have this: a most-delightful, and delirious song.

Disclosure, made up of brothers Guy and Howard Lawrence, use vocals from Sam Smith to create a sound that almost literally make you want to latch on to someone else’s lust-yearning body.

There are two things that will always remain constant on this blog: My love for Eliza Doolittle and the non-stop listening to Two Door Cinema Club. If you watched Two Door Cinema Club perform at Bonnaroo via Youtube like me or were at the show, you may have caught two new songs that will debut in TDCC’s next album.
