Yet more Bat For Lashes now - this one is a performance of 'Marilyn' for a vaguely Valentine's Day-themed feature on Vogue.com. Natasha is on electric guitar, which I don't recall ever seeing before. I could really easily listen to it all day.

Pretty and Pheno = heroes for life, and of course, thanks to all for the various pics and vids. I think I slightly prefer the photos from the website, but the magazine seems considerably less affected by overly exuberant Photoshopping, so I guess it's a bit of a trade-off. Overall though, thumbs up - favourites (roughly in order) would have to be Cintia, Anne V, Emily, Alyssa, Nina and Ariel.

Awesome. And continuing on the Bat For Lashes theme, here's the recent video for 'A Wall' and as a bonus, a nice little 'behind the scenes' film too...

^Now there's nowhere to go but down in terms of tone... So, to my delight and surprise there appears to be a new Kurt Vile album due for release in April. For now, here's a video showing the creation of the album cover mural, as well as the obligatory free download of the featured track.

Another valiant effort at the SoL (or as I call it, the rehabilitation centre for woefully out-of-form players), beaten by a 10-man side kept afloat by their goalkeeper. I think I just might have heard that somewhere before. Much as I enjoyed the second half, I doubt we'd have scored if the game had gone on until midnight on Sunday. On the plus side, delighted that Danny Graham got a great reception from our fans on his home debut. He’s a good pro who looks as if he'll do well for us. Two weeks now (curse you blank weekends) until the West Brom game - the possibility of getting dragged back into a scrap refuses to shift altogether, but I'm cautiously optimistic that we can still get ourselves in the top half. Additional: way to go Nigeria on the African Nations triumph. The competition seemed to go on forever, the playing surfaces were atrocious and the refereeing was so bad it bordered on performance art, but the best team won and Sunday Mba's winning goal was a delight.- Reusing attachments from other posts?

Much appreciated. How I'd love to see her live. Have you ever had the pleasure?- Music of 2013
New promo for Tame Impala's 'Mind Mischief'. At first, it looks like your basic bog-standard 'hot for teacher' video, but do stick with it - the longer it goes on, the odder it gets. Nudity (of sorts)- Alexa Chung
Here comes the cavalry! Thanks egluze.- Lana Del Rey
