Dragonette - Bodyparts
Toronto's own Dragonette has a brand new album, their third. After you get used to Martina Sorbara's high-pitched wails and breathy whispers -- half-Gwen Stefanni, half-Marilyn Monroe -- this is a massive rock-dance-pop record, with loads of hooks, riffs, beats and melodies. Not everything sounds super fresh but there's enough here to get the party started and then some.

The video for the new Pet Shop Boys single is as elegant as the song, in stark black-and-white with echoes of Derek Jarman's "Rent" and "King's Cross".

Caxirola
Musician Carlinhos Brown just "invented" a new music instrument to be used during the 2014 World Cup in place of the dreadful vuvuzelas.
Words and Music by Saint Etienne
After the Pet Shop Boys' letdown, fans of pop can find solace and then some in St. Ettiene's latest, a perfect concoction of feel-good pop with just a tinge of nostalgia. The deluxe version with remixes makes it sweeter.

Canada at the Biennale
Is it just me, or the Canadian Pavilion in Venice looks a little boring? Leftovers from a wood mill?
