(Y) to the Jack. Do you know who's singing on that track with him?

It's a Nashville singer by the name of Ruby Amanfu. Apparently, she's been around in various guises since the late 90s, but this is the first I've ever heard of her. Quite a few interesting videos kicking around YouTube, though... :hehe:

^To my ears, the bridge on this tune sounds oddly like 'Tragedy' by the Bee Gees. File under 'really shouldn't work but kinda does'. :laugh:

So this is the catchy pop tune that they were threatening to write after the first album. Sounds great! :ddr:

^Great stuff. :hehe:

I'm beginning to see a host of VMAs in Sleigh Bells' future and if this video is denied one, I'd (just this once) applaud one of Kanye's patented hissyfits. :laugh:

Also went to the Big Day Out last weekend. Highlight of the day for me was Cage the Elephant - fucking awesome show, and their first time in Aus.
Best Coast, Kimbra, The Jezabels and Röyksopp all smashed it too (Y)

I've managed to secure a ticket to see Laura Marling in March - but with regard to the rest of the bill, I'm (in the words of Tegan & Sara) so jealous! :persuazn:

^Do let me know how the festival goes! :hehe:

Oh and before I forget, here's another recently discovered track that I rather like, by the snappily-named Beth Jeans Houghton & the Hooves of Destiny. For fans of Florence, Joanna Newsom and Owen Pallett. P.S. There's a crying baby at the start but don't let that put you off. :D

Warning: nudity

^ Word on the street thats all. I was told by a few friends who traveling through Australia that the radio dJ's were introducing music that was released in the UK before they left (roughly 4 months prior) Along with tv shows as well. So i assumed you got your music fix solely through the internet in order to stay current

Oh. Not quite sure how that related to the Laura Marling thing, but ok :laugh:

TV shows and movies, yes.. although I think the delays have decreased in general over the last decade, and a lot of bigger movies tend to get worldwide release dates now anyway.
Music is right there though, although I suppose it depends which radio station you're talking about. All the good stuff is pretty much released here the same time as everywhere else - and we even get some pretty tasty world exclusives sometimes :brows:
Commercial radio stations tend to be rather behind though. Like if you take a crossover artist (i.e. one that does well in the mainstream, but is also actually good, like Florence & The Machine), they'll latch onto a single that's already been out for a couple of weeks and play the shit out of it for a month.. meanwhile Triple J (best ever :chicken:) has already moved on to the next single and/or other fresh and exciting things <_<

^ Well regardless,  it doesn't seem to stop you from having your hand on the pulse (is that even a saying :unsure:  :laugh: ) Not quite sure how that relates to Laura Marling either :hehe: But as it happens huge fan of her work..anyway.  Still listen to her first album a lot more then the others.

Have you got a last fm account? Be interested to see your charts :)
