Lollapalooza Countdown: 72 Days-Santogold

While I’m sure new indienational (independent + international) sound sensation Santogold will have a fairly packed turn out at the event, it will likely be a concert worth attending.  Many of her songs have proven bloggable, and she’s pretty cute.

I think this could turn into one hell of a sexy dance party:

The Strokes and Santogold Unite

Oh, and did I forget to mention Pharrell’s name in the headline?

NME has it:

Santogold has teamed up with The Strokes‘ Julian Casablancas for a song about Converse trainers.

Pharrell Williams also features on the track, reports the Guardian.

Speaking about the song Santogold said: “Everybody on it does their own separate thing and we didn’t do it together so it ends up being just this weird long song with sort of everybody with lots of their own personalities separate.”

New Music: Santogold

It does not do service to Santogold to call her an M.I.A. knock-off, but the similarities cannot be dismissed.  Her album, out next month is one I am anticipating to be sure, but this extremely underwhelming video did not add to the excitement (mp3 below).  Boo:
