Tuneage

I'm off to ATP next weekend, which always inspires me to check out some new music. Out of all the stuff I've acquired, I really love the Santogold album. She draws many comparisons with M.I.A (from lazy journalists who assume that because she's friends with MIA and also ethnic, she'll sound the same), but her style is totally different - Santi is more 80s and soulful; I can pick up influences from everyone from the Pixies to the Police, via Gwen Stefani and Kate Bush. I also wholeheartedly endorse the use of gold glitter on the album cover artwork.

By the way, I recently updated my company's blog design and I'm now contributing to it too - check it out.
