Gosh and Begorrah!

Lisa Hannigan, the female singer from Damien Rice's first albums also has her own songs...and this one in particular, unexpectedly, finds it's way into my head all the time! Quite lovely!

Eyes Wide Shut meets James Brown!

Janelle Monae has a new video! Yay! and it's just as c-razy as one would expect! I am definitely appreciating the moves in this! Can't wait to see people getting on that tightrope all over town! There also people wearing cloaks with mirrors for faces......genius!!



Does anyone else feel like the small girl-dancer's head looks like it's super-imposed onto her body? Seriously...check it out....

For those who have never heard of Janelle check out 'Many moons' ...



looks like this cost MONEY!!! makes me wanna shake my hips and stamp my feet....

Golden Oldies!

It's a blast from the past and if it doesn't get you off your chair I want a written excuse!!!!



p.s. does anyone else kinda want to learn the routine they are doing?

I'm making a lasagne......for one!

Loves it...

Kate Nash goes Pam Ann!


So Kate Nash has released her video for her new single 'Do-Wah-Doo' and I can't help thinking she has been inspired by everyones favourite trolley dolly...



I have a feeling that this song is a grower but for immediate Nash brilliance check out this..... for anyone who ever longed for someone to notice them...



Nice...

Quote: "Roisin I could have sex with your songs"

Roisin Murphy has decided to bestow upon us some new tunes, while she goes and pops out a sprog!!! HURRAH!! 'Orally Fixated' sounds like a dry hump with a disco ball on a smoke filled dance floor and I for one am LOVING IT! Also, any song which contains the line 'You just love to stuff your face' has to be worth a listen!



For other soundtracks to your life see also this.... (although please ignore the very sentimental video and listen to the lyrics!)



Perfect for late night glasses of red wine at home.... Gorgeous!

For late night vodka and dancing around the kitchen in your underwear Ms. Murphy has generously given us 'Primitive'....



THANKYOU ROISIN!

Friendly Fires....Ear friendly tunes....

Just found this stripped down version of album track 'Strobe' by Friendly Fires......



I'm imagining lying in the sun on a yacht to this ....mmmmmm! (I might add this is all speculation as i have never even been on a yacht....maybe it's less blissed out than one imagines...??)

The original isn't half bad either...

TURN IT UP! TURN IT UP LOUD!!!!



That's right everyone...it's time to don your scarecrow outfit and HEAD TO THE CORNFIELD !!! May i just say...Missy Elliot makes me wanna 'DANCE' (said in the style of someone from Texas obviously!) For more evidence see also



'Show me some love, strip off your clothes and take off your socks!!!!'

Nod your head and feel uber cool.....



It's simple, and egotastic.....enjoy! Also the video is kind of a tripped out version of this...



an anthem in it's own right.... everyone sing out those high notes (you know you want to!)

A little digruntled...

Just a little note to Warner Chappell (the company in charge of Ellie Goulding)
'Dear sir or madman,

I am writing to ask you to either put the audio back onto the videos of 'Not following you' by Ellie Goulding on Youtube, or to put the song onto her album as it is amazing. You are denying people valuable additions to their lives!
Yours sincerely,

Music to live by!'


you shall all have to make do with 'Starry Eyed' and it's psychedelic tumbling dancers....

I feel it all...even the naughty bits....



The sun is starting to shine after a long winter at last... imagine if you will you are running through a field... there are daisies...and maybe some cider... I do believe this song would be the perfect accompaniament... also who isn't a little envious of Fiest's lovely firework drums????
