Listen - I know you, ONTHATTIP.INFO readers.

If we are alike, you've noticed how bitterly cold of a January this has been for you. You have money troubles, the heating in your apartment doesn't work, and the City of Boston has done a really shitty job of clearing your street after each and every snowstorm.

Luckily for you, I have the cure - in it comes in the form of downtempo Swede-pop.

Boat Club hail from the beaches of Gothenburg, Sweden. Their debut EP, "Caught the Breeze", is host to one of the most simultaneously heartbreaking-yet-calming collective of songs ever grouped together. It's kind of like clutching your favorite drink at about 7PM, as your toes sift through pearl-white sands on a distant European beach in about 75 degree weather. BUT, your girlfriend just broke up with you via a particularly nasty text message.

Trust me on this one, yall.

GUISE. Maybe yall remember me namedropping The Tough Alliance a couple posts back. Fortunately for THAT TIP and Co., SHAZAM read that post and realized that he could collab countries into doin it right, and produce remixes like this:

The Tough Alliance - "Neo Violence" (SHAZAM Remix)

Success.

Today I realized that other countries in the BLOGHAUSSPHERE are doin it right, and so weren't Hercules and Love Affair last night at the Middle East downstairs. My bestie Knight of 77 was also there and managed to get a few words in with them. I'm sure he'll talk about it later.

Australia are doin it right. The aforementioned Empire of the Sun (www.myspace.com/empireofthesunsound) has been eerily infectious this week:

Fellow Aussie Jimmy2Sox (http://www.myspace.com/jimmy2sox) got this playing in my head for a few hours. It's a fluid vibe with vocals that are wonderfully drenched in reverb.

Jimmy2sox & U-GO-B – Big Fat Rio

Japaneses have been doin it right for quite some time:


And while we're on Japan, let me talk about DE DE MOUSE (http://www.myspace.com/dedemouse) as being totally batshit insane. It's an entire field of poppy being beatmashed too fast and holy shit what am I watching:



OH U YOU ZANY JAPS

Sweden currently has this beach party throwback vibe going on. I could write about it all night. A good place to start is with the ever-so subversive The Tough Alliance (www.thetoughalliance.com) from my homietown Gothenburg. Swinging bats onstage yeah?


So is America doin it right? Not really, but France is:
