Tibi PuiuIf 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. Soft beats and down tempo piano line, toped by Lily’s slow and shallow voice…

New Bat for Lashes video: ‘What’s A Girl To Do’
Brighton’s own Natasha Khan and her crew from Bat for Lashes have once again released a kick ass video, of hypnotic proportions: ‘What’s A Girl To Do’. The video looks like a classic horror flick intro, creepy piano lines and pulsing beats, with of course the usual BFL anomalies, like a band of mascot headed bicyclists riding behind Natasha K. and doing syncs.

Catch Queens of the Stone Age on tour this fall
When i get to talk about [tag]Queens of the Stone Age[/tag], It’s just so easy to write and to lay my words on ‘paper’, I mean there’s no secret I love this band to the death (not really, it’s just a figure of speech), their music has influenced my musical taste in a unimaginable degree, I could even go to such lengths and say I’ve discovered Rock’n’Roll alongside them.
