Hello and welcome back. This time only a bunch of YouTube videos in this Radio Kurtodrome. But don't worry, we didn't mind looking after getting you some quality tunes.

First up... the brand new Fiery Furnaces album has been released. Widow City is the name of the record you should ask for at your local cd shop and we'll have a look at their new single, but first - sort of like a DVD extra - a promo video for the new album.
If only we could wake Eleanor up...



Okay, so now high time for "Ex Guru", the Widow City single that can only be described as "superb".



More from Thrill Jockey, one of the best tracks of 2007: "Bullets" can be found on Tunng's brand new album, Good Arrows. Listen to this again and again:



Youthful lack of innocence now. We would describe "Homecoming" as the 2007 answer to Nada Surf's "Popular". The name of the band is The Teenagers and the song features a boy and a girl talking about their sexual encounter. He: "I fucked my American cunt." She: "I fucked my English romance." And then they also have a monologue. Plus a video with girls jumping on a bed in their underpants. Teenage anxiety in three minutes.



It's been a while since we promoted Camera Obscura and "If Looks Could Kill" was the third single from their album Let's Get Out of This Country.



And we end this session with Familjen, which already promoted on our site, but deserved another mention. If only for the wonderful video they had made for their single "Det snurrar i min skalle". It manages to combine a religious rally with dance music. Excellent!



That is all for tonight.
See you soon & take care!
