the playlist: songs i can’t help singing along to by fire through the window’s sinead dennis You probably know Sinead Dennis’s voice from the 2007 Apple iPod Nano commercial, which feature her band Fire Through The Window’s song ‘Just Like You Are’ – she wrote it with her boyfriend (soon to be husband) Marc de la Querra and it got picked up even before they had released it. Or maybe you’ve seen the 8ta or Almay ads which uses the band’s song ‘Do Do Do’? Either way, Fire Through The Window’s sound is so catchy, you’d be hard-pressed not to hum along. Why not get FTTW’s latest album Live Long and add it to Sinead’s TVR playlist called ‘Songs I Can’t Help Singing Along To’. # Say Anything – That Is Why » I keep imagining this song as if it were being sung in a stage musical. # Joan Jett & The Blackhearts – Bad Reputation » The theme song to Freaks And Geeks – if you haven’t watched it, you should. # Best Coast – When I’m With You » This is surf rock at it’s best. # Lana Del Rey – Video Games » Check out the music video – great Super 8 footage of LA! # Big Star – I’m In Love With A Girl » An underrated song and yet, so lovely. # The Avette Brothers – Murder In The City » Some of the best lyrics ever. # Gotye – Somebody That I Used To Know ft Kimbra » I love the Police-esque sound. # Lenke – Heart Skips A Beat » Also a great music video. # The Tallest Man On Earth – I Won’t Be Found » I got to see him in SA this year! # The Muppets – Life’s A Happy Song » I can’t get this one out of my head!

the anthem: cosmic gate – over the rainbow ft. j’something

I’m really liking Cosmic Gate’s latest music vid, which has a bit of a story to it. The kid in most of the video is really cute and the way CG has made themselves and J’Something a part of the story is cool too. What do you guys think?

the anthem: linkin park – burn it down

The video for the much anticipated first single of LP’s new album, Living Things, which was released earlier this year.

the anthem: subtleskeptics – concrete angel cover

Wow! This is such an amazing cover of Gareth Emery’s trakc ‘Concrete Angel’ with Christina Novelli by SubtleSkeptics, who hail from Los Angeles, USA.

Do you guys like it? Or is there a different band’s cover you prefer?

the anthem: natasha meister – safe in the silence

the anthem: armin van buuren’s gaia – j’ai envie de toi

Another vid that we’ve been waiting for! This basically harks back to most other dance videos, but the song just owns it for me. Plus, the real footage makes it more appealing..

the anthem: justin bieber – boyfriend

After keeping his fans in suspense for weeks, JB finally drops his video for the swag-worthy ‘Boyfriend’. As much as I actually like the tune, the video failed to deliver to the hype. Also, can boy bands of yesteryear (read: ’90s BSB and *Nsync) please give the Biebs some dance lessons? Thanks.

the anthem: emma hewitt – miss you paradise (shogun remix)

the anthem: rihanna – where have you been

We all know RiRi brings it like no other and this tune does nothing to disprove that notion. While the video has none of the Brit-punk appeal of ‘We Found Love’, the song more than makes up for it with it’s dancey beats.

the anthem: kaskade – room for happiness (fire) ft skylar grey

I’m not much of a house fan (although I do have my moments), but I’ve always been a huge fan of US DJ and producer, Kaskade (‘I Remember’ with Deadmau5 and ‘Dynasty’ ft Haley, anyone?). So when I saw this amazeballs vid floating about, I had to give it a go and just like Kaskade’s other tracks, it doesn’t disappoint. Skylar Grey has a voice that literally makes any genre sound good and as Kaskade’s tracks normally feature ethereal vocals, her vocal stylings go perfectly. Taken from his album Fire & Ice, Kaskade makes use of the ‘Fire &Ice’ concept with two mixes of this track – check out the Ice mix here. Although I think they’re both awesome, the Fire version will probably be on rotation more. Which do you prefer?
