The Hoosiers are amazing live.

Lol, don't panic. It's only for America.

I'm not sure how much radio play it will get.

Personally I think he should release Lollipop, simply because it's an instantly catchy marmite pop song. I do love Happy Ending though.

^the review in English (if not already posted). Quite funny

I heard Mika alot on the radio, and I have to admit that I sort of dismissed him as just another artist. Then, completely by accident, I saw one of his live performances on TV and was amazed that it was actually live and by how talented he was. Just seeing one live performance started it, and now I am gradually becoming more & more obsessed.

I think he got overplayed on the radio though (although obviously getting radio play is a good thing), and that means that people are more likely to dismiss him - as I originally did.

Relax.

Except Happy Ending when it's live.

Mika doesn't really fit into the other stuff which I listen to, ha, but I love him obsessively.

Others I love:

Elliott Smith (to the max)

Jeff Buckley

Brand New

Bright Eyes

Death Cab for Cutie

Modest Mouse

Sublime

Bloc Party

Broken Social Scene

Damien Rice

Jimmy Eat World

Rilo Kiley

Arctic Monkeys
