High As A Kite

My favourite blog right now is Bobby Solomon's Kitsune Noir. His combination of gorgeous art and design finds, savvy new music picks and elegant writing is pretty potent.

Yesterday, he introduced me to Belgian duo Hermanos Inglesos and their new video for 'Wanderland'. I love the song itself and the Kosheen-esque vocals from Meme but better yet is the video by Kristof Luyckx and Michele Vanparys , which features a bird on a hallucinogenic 'trip' after inadvertently ingesting a psychoactive berry:

Accident As Soon As You Emergency - Saturday 31st @ Twisted Pepper by thebubbleboy

Fluorescent Adolescent

I previously expressed my indifference to Jamelia sound-alike Neon Hitch. Seemingly, however, I'm not the authority on who makes it in the music biz (who knew?) because the London-based circus performer turned singer has landed a massive record deal with Warner, having been signed by American Idol's Kara Dioguardi.

She's currently working with top notch producers on her debut album, 'Beg, Borrow and Steal', but as a means of drumming up some early interest, has produced some timely covers and mash-ups.

These 'interpretations' are slickly produced and inventive and, although I'm not someone who likes to admit I'm wrong, I'll concede I was probably too hasty in making a call on Ms. Hitch initially...

Ouch. That hurt.
