What is with the Swedes and their infectious indie pop? There has to be something in the water over there that makes them churn out hook laden music time and time again. Sweden’s The LK definitely do nothing to dispel this image. They seem to picking up where their fellow countrymen have left off by creating infectious electro-pop that makes it almost impossible to sit still. I mean I’m listening to them as I’m writing this post and I can’t help but dance in my chair and attempt to hum along.

Beenie Man and Mya - Girls Dem Sugar

If you're on twitter, you know that my current favorite workout song (Hip Hop Abs Stee-lo) is "Go DJ" by Lil Wayne. This easily ranks as number two. Mya's kinda fly in this video, too. Another of her tracks, "Fallen", also never fails to get me in the appropriate workout mood. I might have to revisit her recording career. She may be slept on.

Update: Also, the new youtube interface is excellent.
