Duran Duran - Girls On Film (Uncensored Version) > The Naughty Video!!!



Aaaaaaaaaaaah! What a great track!
The video is a bit naughty but hey! they needed exposure and they got it!
Although TV channels refused to play it, clubs were the only places which accepted it with open arms.
Nevermind the video, the single is an instant hit in 1981!

God, I miss Duran Duran!

Roxy Music - Avalon > The Video!!!



"Avalon" from Roxy Music is one of my dad's favourite song. This video is a classic. You've got it all there: Brian Ferry's charisma, the glamorous image that Roxy Music always projected and the lovely sound that put them all together.

If you're in London this July, Roxy Music will be playing the LoveBox Festival.

George Michael - Freedom > The Video!!!



CLASSIC!

Chris Isaac - Wicked Games > The Video!!!



Chris Isaac, Helena Christensen, the beach, in black & white, can it even get better than this?

Rammstein - Stripped (Depeche Mode cover)



As a true Depeche Mode fan, I worship Martin Gore and all his songs. When I discovered the Tribute To The Masses album, I was stunned! Not only their songs still sounded good through different bands but also the artists who did this were also true fans and it shows!

I do have two songs from this Tribute album that I really love:

1- Rammstein - Stripped
2- The Smashing Pumpkins - Never Let Me Down Again

Speaking of the SP, they're back in studio.

Enjoy the strong German accent! I love it!!!

Grace Jones - Walking In The Rain > The Live Video!!!



Grace Jones, "feeling like a woman, looking like a man". "Walking In The Rain" is to me the song that defines Grace Jones. The music sounds like it could have been Serge Gainsbourg's.
Not her most famous song but it is one of my favourites! Enjoy!

Lady GaGa - Telephone feat. Beyonce > The Official Video!



That GaGa is awesome! Another great video from the wonderful Jonas Ã…kerlund.

Brand New Robyn - Dancing On My Own > Check it out!!!



This is the new Robyn, available mid-June, thoughts?

BLUR IS BACK with a brand new track!!!



Blur is back! Check out their brand new track above!
One of the best Brit Pop acts is back, FINALLY!
With the Gorillaz project sucking all Damon Albarn's time, we weren't very optimistic about a Blur reunion but it happened!!!

According to the Daily Mail (for the whole article CLICK HERE) they will distribute copies of their new single in selected privately owned record shop.
I think it's a great thing because private records shop are a dying breed.

Ellie Goulding - The Brit's Revelation of the Year - Starry Eyed >> The Video!!!



Meet Ellie Goulding, Revelation of the Year at The Brits, climbing up the British charts with her track "Starry Eyed".

I don't particularly like the video but the sound of this track is just brilliant. The rhythm is energetic, the sound effects are amazing, it really gives you this gentle kick that you need in the morning.

Her album Lights is pretty good but unfortunately, and that is my own opinion, all these songs sound a bit the same and there's not much musical differences that makes this album stands out. But "Starry Eyed" is definitely her strongest track!

Way Out West - We Love Machine



I was at home when my boyfriend started to play some of his music.
This sounded really good so I asked him "Hey! What is this?", "It's Way Out West" he replied.

This track is called "We Love Machine" from their 2009 album of the same name.

This is such a real "feel good" song. Perfect for the wonderful shiny days that are now here.

Slash - The Biography


I am currently reading the biography of Slash (Guns'N'Roses, Velvet Revolver) and this is one of the best book that I have read so far this year!

Lots of pictures, details, well written and easy to read. Love it!

Go get it!

The Libertines are back together!


THE LIBERTINES ARE BACK... TOGETHER!!! C'MON!!!

It's been years since they've officially meet up but this time, no secret gig, no "last Libertines reunion ever", Reading and Leeds festivals are booked!!!

This time, it's going to last for a while. But for how long? God only knows. With Pete's drug abuse, he became the unreliable one (which he has been for years).

But best of luck to them!

Now, let's see if I can get us tickets!
