sailing the fingers of the dragon

I almost never listen to the radio, and haven't for a very long time, but I've had to the last few weeks to find out where the fewest car crashes are on my commute to work. *g* (In a 30-block stretch on the Whitemud on Friday - after rush hour - I counted three SUVs that had gone not only off the road but several car lengths up the fairly steep bank. Edmonton, how.)

Anyways, although I have discovered secret weaknesses for the new Katy Perry and Miley Cyrus songs (I know don't judge), I also ran across a new artist whose stuff I really like. Lorde is a 17-year-old NZ artist who just got nominated for a bunch of Grammys. The song that caught me on the radio is "Royals," though I don't love the video:



"Team" is, I think, her newest song, and I like the video much more:



What are you listening to lately that's new-to-you? What should I check out that's not on the radio?
