Happy Holidays
We'll be back in the new year.

We Rule
When people ask what kind of music we like we say Israeli afro-disco with scatting and trombones because this really is great and we really are that annoying.

Friendly Fire
According to one of our favourite blogholes, this is the Teenagers's favourite band. All their new songs may sound the same, but dudes clearly have taste. Ladyhawke is the future of pop. Who knew torturing a hotel heiress could sound so sweet?
Ladyhawke - Paris Is Burning [mp3]

The Lovely Bones
We won't be posting a year end chart, but if we did this spidery slice of new-wave funk would be near the top. So would Rhydian Roberts's version of Go West, but don't let that detract from our main point here, which is that Ebony Bones is amazing.
Ebony Bones - We Know All About U [mp3] [Buy]

Plane And Simple
M.I.A. - Paper Planes
Afrikan Boy and his big cheesy grin just made our day.

Ho Ho Ho!
We love Maps, but hadn't realised he was funny until this arrived today:
"This song is my special Xmas gift to you inspired by taking 12 E's and running myself over in my own car. Only an enormous puffer jacket prevented me from certain death. Mappy Xmas, James."

Grime Pays
Skepta - Over The Top
This is what we love about grime. I Get Money-style flamboasting, but with a small pile of used £20 notes in a freezing cold supermarket car park. How many t-shirts have BBK sold now? A source tells us, "it's alot."
Skepta (ft. Jammer) - I Spy [mp3] [Buy]

Mighty Real
Some of our favourite webholes are already posting their end of year charts, but wait, dudes! It's too soon! Spend a few days listening to Love Is Real, the new album from Panda Bear pal, John Maus and we guarantee his splendidly gothic electro-pomp will have you reconsidering that top three.
John Maus - My Whole World's Coming Apart [mp3] [Buy]
John Maus - Rights For Gays [mp3] [Buy]

Every Breath You Take
Lightspeed Champion - Tell Me What It's Worth
It's easy to become scarily obsessed with Lightspeed Champion. There's his amazing hair, his cool friends, his crazily prolific blogging. And, of course, the endless stream of adorable pop tunes. Grab his free Garageband Xmas EP here, plaster your walls with pictures of his face then work your way up to a restraining order.

Award Tour
Juno
The front runners for the 2008 acting Oscars are a sociopathic oil baron, a psychotic hitman, a transgender Bob Dylan and a wiseass pregnant teenager. Amazing. It's like our house at Christmas.
Jonny Greenwood - Open Spaces [mp3] [Buy There Will Be Blood soundtrack]
Karen O & The Million Dollar Bashers - Highway 61 Revisited [mp3] [Buy I'm Not There soundtrack]
The Moldy Peaches - Anyone Else But You [mp3] [Buy Juno soundtrack]
NB: No Country For Old Men ain't got no soundtrack.

Me Likey
Lykke Li - Little Bit
All the boys and girls we know who went to Lykke Li's recent London shows now have a big crush on her. And we're sure everyone who's watched her cute dancing in this video or heard her sing the line "For you I keep my legs apart" feels the same, because everybody loves Lykke Li and more than just a little bit.

Odds On
Kotki Dwa - Robin's Clogs
If we had a pound for every pound we'd lost gambling this weekend we'd be square which is pretty much the same as up so we would rule. But we don't and we're not and we don't. And yet, despite the overwhelming proof that for us ‘predicting’ equates to ‘being wrong’, we still think you should listen when we say that Kotki Dwa, who launch their first official single this weekend, are awesome and amazing and soon to be the favourite band of the whole, wide internet.

Don't Curse
If this band's name is a rebuke, then we totally agree. Pantomimes suck and that guy is an idiot. If it's an instruction then colour us repulsed.
Update: songs removed by request.

Smackdown
(From a gallery entitled Kendo Nagasaki At Home)
These days wrestling is about taking so many roids your heart explodes and/or killing your whole family, but remember when it was just old, fat men having fun? Our Grecoroman dudes do and they’re back in London with another of their legendarily redonkulous parties on 21st December. Booji Boy High and the electro Chris Cross, Grovesnor, play live while Jesse Rose, Felix Jaxx and Joe Hot Chip grapple with the decks. Rumours that ‘Rollerball’ Rocco will be offering lapdances remain unconfirmed. Check the Grecospace for details.

Life Is Sweet
David E Sugar - Chelsea Girls
In which David E. Sugar completes his transformation from gameboy-wielding chip star to hair-flicking origami expert and pop heartthrob.

Back And Forth
Brooklyn's Effi Briest has written this clever song with lyrics constructed from palindromes. Whereas, regular readers of Pinglewood will know we often have trouble stringing coherent sentences together. There's no clever wordplay involved, we're just lazy and a bit shit. AwesomemosewA!

The Joker Is Wild
Hot Chip - Ready For The Floor
Wouldn't it be great if The Dark Knight cast was made up of our favourite electro geeks? James Murphy would make an amazing Bruce Wayne.

Into The Night
Burial nails that club-weary, nightbus-home sound so completely that remixing his songs might seem superfluous. But here recent Mad Decent signing Boy 8-Bit resurrects the ghosts in Archangel's machine and sends them back to the rave one last time.

Is It A Bird?
Earlier this year Supermayer saved the world. Thanks Supermayer! Now the heroes of Teutonic technotronica have twisted Rufus Wainwright's Christmassy pomp-pop into something awesome shirtless dudes can sweat to in dark basements at five in the morning. Thanks again, Supermayer!

Toes Done Up
Kid Sister ft. Kanye West - Pro Nails (Remix)
We've just spent the last three-and-a-half hours juking with our fingers. So much less tiring than real dancing. We could go all day. Seriously, it's nothing to us. Our fingers are dance machines.
[BUY!] [Email MTV and ask them to play the video all day, every day, forever.]

Love Is All Around
On Saturday we were stupid enough to go Christmas shopping at the same time as several million other people. Weirdly, the song we heard most was Art Of Noise's Moments In Love. The calmdown classic seems to be rampant consumerism's unofficial theme song. It reminded us that top FOP Nick Catchdubs relaunched his awesome blog a few weeks back with links to a Hypnotic Brass Ensemble live show and a great cover of that song. Then on the way home we listened to the excellent new Fabric Live mix from Caspa & Rusko and remembered that the former recently put out a bootleg remix of Moments Of Love. It's the circle of life, dudes.

Toad Warriors
Friendly Fires - Paris
Check out the awesome new video, Paris, from Pinglefaves Friendly Fires. For some reason it reminds us of caning it round the disco level on Super Mario Kart. With Le Toad driving, naturellement.
Catch Friendly Fires at ACTH's Bloomsbury Ballroom II tonight with the excellent Holy Hail and Mystery Jets.
