94.1 FBi Radio Takeover by The Young Turks
The Young Turks (the label responsible for releases by the xx, Chairlift, SBTRKT, El Guincho, Wavves) has taken residence at Australian station 94.1 FBi Radio this week, and yesterday, not only did they haul in Chairlift — who performed live in the studio — they also premiered new music by both members of the xx: one instrumental reinterpretation by Jamie xx, and one mixtape, by Romy xx.
As NJ Underground points out, the Jamie xx track is actually not explicitly new material, but an instrumental version of the cover of Rui Da Silva's "Touch Me" that he and Scottish DJ Yasmin covered for BBC 6 Music around this time last year.
The Romy xx element of the show is a dreamy four-song "mix" she compiled for the show, including tracks by Fleetwood Mac and Elastica. The Jamie xx song starts at around the 49:00 mark, and the Romy xx mix directly follows.
Tracklist:
01. Jack Penate – Didn’t I
02. Zomby – Natalia’s Song
03. Sampha – Indecision
04. Julia Holter – Goddess Eyes
05. Bullion – What Does She Know

Lana Del Rey
The very gorgeous Lizzie Grant a.k.a. Lana Del Rey is old-school Hollywood meets blog world meets Fleetwood Mac. This girl has been racking up some hype in the blog scene from a release two months ago which acquired the best new track title with her "Video Games" single. Take note that this single had a video that she herself produced which had a lot of dusty old chopped-up clips and a whole lot of pouting. Pretty creative, eh? But not only is she very attractive but she also has the vocals to back it up. Why don't I let Pitchfork tell you more about this beauty.
Says Pitchfork:
"Lana Del Rey is also Lizzy Grant, a 24-year old who grew up singing in several defferent school choirs in Lake Placid, New York, about five hours north of the city. She released an album on iTunes in January 2010 produced by vet David Kahne, known for his work with Paul McCartney, The Strokes, and Regina Spektor, among many others. The LP, dubbed Lana Del Rey, has since been deleted. "I would like people focused on my new music for now," wrote Del Rey in an e-mail-- understandable since that record's disty Americana only hints at the promise of "Video Games." And while she's previously admitted that "managaers and lawyers" helped her choose the "Lana Del Rey" moniker, she's not a character or a studio creation. On the topic Lizzy vs. Lana, she wrote, "There's not a real me and another me. Same person, just a different name"
Here I have her two fashionably elegant tracks, "Blue Jeans" and "Video Games," remixed. These tracks have just been released via Stranger Records and already they're catching the attention of the digitally gifted. So here are two more reasons to obsess over her (like we need more). Jamie Woon and Penguin Prison, take it away!
