Band Aid 20 – Do They Know It’s Xmas

Reasons why this video is amazing:

The look of GLEE on Daniel Bedingfields face at the thought of working again.
Sugababes with 66% original members
Tom from Keane looks a lot like James May (I HAVE ONLY JUST REALISED)
All the bands and singers that were like OMG IMPORTANT back in 2004, and I had actually forgotten about [...]

Lady Gaga – Bad Romance

I think I’ve admitted previously my secret love for Lady Gaga, but this video is just marv. (Yes, I am shortening words, because i’m actually too lazy to write the full word. MARVELLOUS. There you go.)

Incubus – A Certain Shade of Green

An older song this, but still a favourite. And not just because Brandon Boyd is a pretty pretty boy. But it helps.
Listening to Incubus reminds me of my first year of uni, listening to Make Yourself and Morning View over and over. I can still listen to those albums and not get bored of them!
I [...]

Albert Hammond – It Never Rains in Southern California

I first heard this song at the end of the very last episode of Veronica Mars. She goes to vote in the elections, then walks out and its raining. I love that show, and they always choose good music (I seem to prefer TV shows when they choose music that is similar to my tastes. [...]

The Pierces – Secret

Air – All I Need

This song will always make me think of being in Lower Sixth, a specific place and time even.

“Well, Theres A Lot You May Not Know About Me…”

This weeks choice is a little different. Its not quite a song, but a rap that Natalie Portman did on Saturday Night Live about 2 years ago. It makes me laugh when I hear it because she raps about things you wouldn’t quite expect of her.
Its actually by a band called the Lonely Planet, and [...]

Culture Club – Karma Chameleon

I apologise for the dreadful video this week – the proper versions of the video on You Tube have the audio disabled!

This weeks song is not because I really love it, but because my Mum always told me that this was number one when I was born. (I just looked it up on Wikipedia, and [...]

Countryside Alliance Crew

Instead of one song, this is a random covers type band that I heard on Radio 1 recently, and it made me giggle a LOT.
They are called the Countryside Alliance Crew, and they do remixes and reworkings of some urban hits.
I think this version of Dizzee Rascals – Bonkers is my favourite, its been renamed [...]

Albert Hammond Jr – “Hard To Live (In The City)”

I love this song so much. I first heard it when I first moved to Bristol last year, and thought that it wasn’t really that hard to live in the city (you see what I did there? Oh never mind)
After living here a year or so, its still not too hard to live in the [...]
