Norway’s Royksopp definitely have some buzz going with there new single “Happy Up Here”. There seems to be a new remix coming out everyday. After Boys Noize killed I thought nothing could come close, but in comes Holy Fuck and there stellar ability to almost re write the song while still having it’s essence at the core. Holy Fuck takes “Happy Up Here” and it’s bright colorful bounces and welds them to silver and steel with a groove that makes you just want to watch the hash marks on the road flip by as you drive into the city. Gorgeous mid tempo funk that is good for any moment.

For those of you who aren’t somewhere taking in the first game of the NBA Playoffs, you might want to go to one of the many awesome shows tonight. I told you that the beginning of the week was light on good events, but now begins the craziness. In DC there is White Rabbits at the Black Cat and These New Puritans at DC9. In Philly, the Kooks and The Morning Benders play the Fillmore while Rilo Kiley, Benji Hughes and Thao With The Get Down Stay Down are up at the Electric Factory. Or if you want a bigger show, Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers are playing the Wachovia Center in PA. Or if you want the ultimate dynamite show then head over to the 33rd St. Armory in Philly to check M.I.A. and Holy Fuck.

Though I may be pretty tired, you may not be. So for you there are a couple good concerts tonight. At the 9:30 club, Super Furry Animals, Holy Fuck, and Fiery Furnaces take the stage and do what they will with it. Here in Baltimore, Sonar plays host to one of my faves, Lupe Fiasco.
