Catch Beardyman playing at Horatio’s tonight (on Brighton Pier)

Flight Facilities – Crave you Feat. Giselle

I have a new favourite radio statio: Nova. It a French station that plays a nice selection of music. This song has come on several times this week, and I am loving it. The only downside to Nova is the ads that come… maybe I take BBC for granted!

Coeur de pirate – Comme des enfants

Fantastic Canadian pop singer-songwriter from Quebec. Could she be the French language answer to Duffy with tatoos!

Skinny jeans wearers might find this offensive!

A catchy video and song doing the youtube rounds at the moment that made me chuckle. My favourite line:

“I’m currently writing my own magazine, and it’s all about my balls”

Hot Chip – I feel better

Two versions of the same song. Loving the dogs t-shirt on the first version I have posted. The second version is a bizarre and funny parody of the generic boy-band on stage.

Super desserts new songs now out!

‘Twee as folk’ is the latest offering from this Ohio folk/pop gathering. There are quite a few people in the band, and they play a large selection of instruments including bells, a cello and banjos. You can hear the album in full at Bandcamp, although at the time of writing this post there was a glitch in buying it as the paypal account details for the band must be playing up. I will be buying when this is sorted as I want to support them, I am still amazed that they haven’t been picked up by the media in more of a big way.

Ping pong, beer and live bands!

My flatmate tipped me off on this night a friend of hers just started at the Brunswick in Hove. What a smashing combination! The ping pong was electric and the bands were well decent too. Check out Yokoko and Shock defeat. Both bands impressed me, well worth the £4 entrance fee. To top the night off we had the bride from a wedding party upstairs and other well dressed guests playing round the table while a fantastic DJ played mash ups from all ends of the musical spectrum.

Fiest on Sesame street

How appropriate that fiest is helping kids learn to count… one, two, three, four : counting to four! Even James Blunt seems a bit less of a drip singing ‘triangle’ instead of Beautiful also on one of these Sesame street clips.

Krump battle

admin — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 10:55:55 +0000

Krumping started off in L.A as a way to escape gang violence. Instead of gun fights, battles take place in the form of an energetic twitchy street dance a bit like a break dancing battle. It has been described as having the feel of a mosh pit at a rock gig.

Tommy the clown is the face of Clowning, the original less aggressive form of the dance. He focuses on working with kids and providing a form of entertainment.

If you like the sound of this, there is a great documentary by Dave la Chapelle called Rize.
