Tinie Tempah- New Video.
I’ve probably had one of the shittiest weeks last week. This makes up for it.

Tinie Tempah.
Dear America, you can keep Kanye…Eminem…all that. We’ve got Tinie Tempah. He’s the one.
“I used to be the kid that no one cared about, thats why you have to keep screaming ’til they hear you out.” < One of my favourite lines from any song this year.
Go see him on tour. Go buy his album. October.

Marina VS Ellie.
These Girls Will Be Your Downfall.
Pretty good mashup. Obviously I enjoy muting it and just staring at the video. Then listening to it…and staring at the video.

If you’ve got a heart…
Then please click HERE and read Marina’s (Marina & The Diamonds) blog. It’s a beautiful idea that will hopefully happen. If only more famous people used their fame for the good. I really don’t need to mention any names.
Marina, you really are a diamond.

Ellie Goulding….she makes me weep!
I won’t ever deny that acoustic songs can sometimes turn me into a mess. A big crying mess. About 15 minutes ago, I was one- I have yet to get a grip. I haven’t learnt my lesson so I’m listening to the same song over and over- because it is that gorgeous.
I’m clearly going on about the acoustic version of The Writer by Ellie Goulding. She just amazes me every time. Her album, Lights is stunning. One of the best albums this year. And easily one of the most wonderful debut albums.
If I could get away with slapping anyone who slags her off- I gladly would. I mean, listen to Salt Skin- how the hell can you deny how great she is? But anyway, I shall leave you with the song that has reduced me to tears. You can get it from 9th August off iTunes and all that good stuff. Buy it. Because I said so- and I’d very much like you too =]
Also, I wish she’d sing The End and Fighter Plane during her gigs. Although, I’d be asked to leave due to being a crying mess…..

Ladyhawke.
I love Ladyhawke. I want a new album and I want a tour. I’m not the only one. She’s amazing.
Better Than Sunday. < This reminds me of someone..most of the album does, but it’s getting a bit easier to listen to. Still a great song.
French version of Paris Is Burning.
Just don’t make the mistake I once did and buy the wrong Ladyhawke album thinking she had an EP out…remember..there’s an “E” at the end!

Ellie Goulding-I’ll Hold My Breath.
I did love this when it was called Swimming Pool, but the version on Lights is just as gorgeous. The words are beautiful. The song means a lot…right now.
Breathe air you’re not used to, tread floors you don’t fall through
Make waves…
You crash a symbol hard
Follow no one, always play the wrong card
Waste days, in foreign places
Shed lights, on your better side
Reassure me that you’ll wait for me, wait for me as long as it takes!
And I’ll hold my breath, I’ll hold my breath
Until you see me in your dreams
WE’ll stay awake beneath the trees
We’ll watch the buildings turn to dust
A sky of diamonds just for us
You are the risk I’ll always take
The only branch I’ll never break
Thsoe fears we’ll blow them all way
Fight fires in your best clothes, touch skin with your eyes closed
Chase thunder…
With the volume down
Pack a suitcase, wonder to the next town
Force quit, on your losing streak
Solve a riddle in a magazine, be tongue in cheek
Tell me that we’re still too young, that we’re still too young and I’ll my tongue
Until you see me in your dreams
WE’ll stay awake beneath the trees
We’ll watch the buildings turn to dust
A sky of diamonds just for us
You are the risk I’ll always take
The only branch I’ll never break
Thsoe fears we’ll blow them all way
I’m here, I’m here to save you
No fall, I will swim to save you
Until you see me in your dreams
We’ll stay awake beneath the trees
We’ll watch the buildings turn to dust A sky of diamonds just for us
You are the risk I’ll always take
The only branch I’ll never break
Those fears we’ll blow them all way, we’ll blow them all away.

Kraftwerk.
The Model. < English version.
Das Model. < German version.
This was one of the first songs I remembering seeing on MTV when I was little. I instantly fell in love. Kraftwerk have influenced so many bands. And so many bands try to be like Kraftwerk. It won’t happen. There’s only one Kraftwerk.
