And the promises keep coming. As I’ve already mentioned, my interview with One Little Plane (my first ever) is about to get underway. She’s accepted my proposition, and I’m currently awaiting her answers to my questions. Look for that soon.

In other news, I have my second installment of five singles you need to check out. And they are:

Amanaz – Khala My Friend If Jimi Hendrix were to write one more song for us, I’d imagine it would sound something like this. If you’re all about that fuzzy stoner jamming that was Hendrix, “Khala My Friend” is your song. The whole thing gets better with each listen. DOWNLOAD
Arctic Monkeys – Diamonds Are Forever It’s festival season! To celebrate, I have one of the best festival songs of 2007 for you. In case you don’t read big, bold, colored titles, it’s the Arctic Monkeys covering Shirley Bassey’s “Diamonds Are Forever” of 007 fame at Glastonbury. It’s pretty damn good. DOWNLOAD
Pete and the Pirates – Mr. Understanding Reading has a new pop group in the form of five young men and an understand mister. It embodies everything that a pop-rock indie song should be. The music video is pretty entertaining too, in all of its apparently homemade splendor. DOWNLOAD
Peter Moren – Social Competence Peter Moren—one third of Swede popstars Peter, Bjorn and John—releases his debut solo album titled “The Last Tycoon”, an album full of dusty countrified tracks with Peter’s trademark faultless songwriting. The lyrics are so damn catchy… even without the whistling. DOWNLOAD
Sissy Wish – DWTS She wants to dance, damnit, and she wants you dancing with her. “DWTS”, from last year’s Norwegian Grammy-nominated Beauties Never Die, is an acronym standing for “Do What They Say.” Her “Betty Boop” vocals definately are the sugar in your musical diet. DOWNLOAD
