Said the Gramophone posts tracks from Robyn and Sigur Rós: http://www.saidthegramophone.com/archives/two_delicious_pops.php
I don't mean to get carried away with all the recent hype, but I have to agree that the Robyn album is a damn fine pop record. I actually think that "Crash and burn girl" (which Fluxblog posted recently) is one of the weaker tracks, so if you like that, you'll definitely dig the rest. Far better than Annie too, IMHO.
