I woke up this morning to find myself in the midst of a musical name-dropping competition between AvantCaire and Tom Gara. We're still embroiled in the heat of battle (I will crush them).

Anyway, this intercontinental (AvantCaire is currently in snowy New York) challenge has reminded me of the Nick Cave and Kylie Minogue duet 'Where the Wild Roses Grow'.

I would happily sacrifice myself to the river if Cave was the one with the rock in his fist. Swooooon. 

Follow @avantcaire, @tomgara and @discobb for updates.

I discovered 'IV' (four) last year at the excellent wavesatnight. From first listen I was hooked to IV's darkly cinematic sound and immediately started an exchange with the band, hoping for more background. They happily sent me music, but weren't very generous with information.

Finally last week, and upon further probing, IV admitted to being two graphic designers from Paris with an obsession for film (as evidenced by their video above for the track 'Alaska - The Place Where We Were Hidden). They also said that they have something exciting coming up soon, but apologized for not being able to discuss it.

These cryptic boys (are they male even?) of IV obviously know which buttons to press because I am now even more enamoured by them. I'm looking forward to the next precious nugget of information delivered to my inbox (and can't wait for more musical presents).

Thank you IV.

'For You, Anything' by James Clar, 2010

Whether you believe in love or not, chances are you've felt deeply enough about someone to risk life and limb for them. I love how this piece strips down any romantic and delicate notions to one visceral truth - there are no limits to love.

Mohamed El Amin believes that every moment deserves a soundtrack. The Dubai-based photographer takes pictures that are often named after songs or accompanied by musical recommendations. This is a concept I can completely get behind, being a little obsessed as well with soundtracking life.

Mohamed's recommendation for this image is a track by Canadian post-rockers, Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra. As his portfolio is mostly filled with pictures from live performances, I've decided to put up a live version of 'American Motor Over Smoldered Field'.
