Although he would be more at place in the glamorous times of the late ’50s, the eternal romantic [tag]Jens Lekman[/tag] is remarkably catchy and makes extraordinarily beautiful music.

Sparrow like flout whistles, glamorous piano lines and Jens retro vibe and vocals provide a wonderful trip down…
Britney Spears spent the night partying in Los Angeles. That is after she heard the court order to undergo random drug and alcohol tests as part of her custody battle. She was having fun with friends, including Canadian singer Avril Lavigne, People.com reports.

I’ve fallen head over heels for Jens Lekman’s extraordinary music from the first song I’ve listened to, a few years back.

If you found the collaboration between Chicago native [tag]Common[/tag] and English pop star [tag]Lilly Allen[/tag] a tad strange, then you’ll find the video for “Drivin’ Me Wild” even more weirder. There’s Common rapping about, in a impeccable white tux, in his limo, around the streets etc and there’s Lily Allen singing the song’s chorus in a matching white … astronaut suit.
