Great DJ
Having these songs on your iPod might make you almost as cool as me:
"In the City" by Chromatics: Hypnotic, synth-driven pop that you want playing in your car as you drive home from a party late at night, sleepy and maybe a little stoned. I have no idea what the lead singer is going on about when she sings of "shining violence, shining victim", but I don't really care.
"With Every Heartbeat" by Robyn: A Swedish artist with a knack for crafting pop songs that don't make adults cringe, Robyn uses strings and drum machines to dramatic effect in this song about a failed relationship that will have you crying on the dancefloor.
"Distant Dreamer" by Duffy: Rounding out today's set is this bit of power pop from another British artist fond of that classic diva sound from the era of transistor radios. She demonstrates more of a vocal range and mastery of style than Amy Winehouse, especially in this soaring orchestral track.

There is no way in hell you're going to catch me with Robyn or Duffy on my (hypothetical) iPod or anywhere near any of my electronic/computer-like devices. ;)
