in new music we trust


another one bites the dust.
well, more like, another one hits the mark.
i plug Sam Sparro, who is looking rather fetching,no? Shoutout to D, appreciator of dapper young men. this one has a jaunty hat too ;)
he was with Jo Whiley on radio 1's live lounge and he did an AMAZING cover of Estelle & Kanye's American Boy(i love that song, oh yes i do). Speaking of Estelle, she's done a 180 from her "1980" days hasn't she! i remember she did a collabo with So Solid Crew aka the definitive urban UK garage group. "21 Seconds" anyone? ok back to Estelle. she's looking gawjus (though i quite liked her street style" from a coupla years back) and i wish BBC Prime would just show the newer episodes of Later With Jools Holland already! cos she's on. and so are other brits.
side tracking again, today's Reverb selection on MTV was ACE.
Just Jack- Glory Days
The Streets- Dry Your Eyes Mate (siv! haven't heard this one in a while yeah?)
Audio Bullys- I'm in Love
Basement Jaxx- Red Alert
Milo feat. Miami Sound Machine- Doctor Pressure (kenn! the song they played at poptart!)
Jamiroquai- Canned Heat
i want to write in and congratulate whoever decided on such an ab fab playlist. woohoo mtv!
ok. focus. Sam Sparro's Black and Gold (mmm..prom dress combination..)



i'm about as excited as him as i was about Calvin Harris! slick beats a la Goldfrapp and his voice exudes a soul/funk vibe. yeah, he's like a male (alison) goldfrapp- how enticing. i can and i will look past the gh3y-ness. now, he just needs to release an album so i can see if the rest of his music is any good.
