Watch: Apocalyptica - I'm not Jesus (feat. Corey Taylor)

Apocalyptica has a new album out, too, it's called Worlds collide. One of the collaborations on the album happened with Corey Taylor (singer of Stone Sour, Slipknot),k the song happens to be the first single, too. (There's also a cover of David Bowie's Heroes, called Helden, sung by Till Lindemann, singer of Rammstein.)

Watch: Sugababes - About you now

Great. How could I not know that the Sugababes had a new album?! Anyway, it's called Changes and here's the first single, About you know:

Pushing daisies; Field Cate in 'Placebo - A song to say goodbye'

There's a new ABC series this season called Pushing daisies. Its "atmosphere" reminds me a lot of Amelie, it's beyond charming. There were moments when it was hard not to melt away:) So, Ned is the main character and as there are retrospections to his childhood, there's a "little" Ned, played by Field Cate, who is adorable, and has that special something, which makes him ideal for the show.















He seemed kinda familiar, and as it turns out, he's the boy in Placebo's video for Song to say goodbye! And that video is one of my favourite ones, it's SO original and touching. Here it is:

Watch: Sarah Mcleod - He doesn't love you

I've been hearing a dance track a lot in the last 3-4 months at clubs, in shops, etc. and I have been looking desperately for the artist and the song title... till yesterday! As it turned out (for me), it's a Sarah McLeod song remixed by a hungarian DJ (Tommyboy). I really like her kinda raw and edgy vocals. So here is the original song and video:

Watch: North Sea Jazz 2007 - Rehab

Apparently, Amy wasn't there, so the Marcus Miller band and other performers of the festival did an improv based on her song Rehab:) It sure rocks.

Watch: Mark Ronson feat. Amy Winehouse - Valerie

As I didn't know The Zutons' original Valerie (I used to change the channel as soon as I saw "The Zutons":D ) so I listenend to it yesterday... and, well, this cover is MUCH better, more melodic, more upbeat, etc. And you can't beat Amy's voice.

Watch: Peter, Bjorn & John - Young folks

A few days ago, on the bus, I was listening to the radio (yeah, again... I don't have any headphones for my mp3 player, so that leaves me with no choice) and I heard a song, which was pretty catchy, especially a whistling part and as I was humming it all day, I was kinda clueless, how to find it... In the evening, I watched the secong episode of a new series called Journeyman (I recommend it to fans of timetravelling, and even to anyone else) and at the end started a whistle tune... and of course I was like "This is it! This is it!":) So I just had to go to the imdb forum of the series, and hope that somebody would look for the song aswell, and... somebody did:)

Watch: Mixalis Xatzigiannis/Michalis Hatzigiannis - Xoris anapnoi/Xwris anapnoi

When I was in Athens for a "theatre project" in 2003, I heard a song over and over again, as the radios were playing it all the time... and it just stuck in my head. I love this song. Mixalis has such a great voice (well, in other songs you can hear that better). The video is kinda lame though:)

Watch: Kate Nash - Foundations

Such a bittersweet little song! The video fits perfectly with the song aswell!

Watch: Regina Spektor - Better

Silly but pretty video, really nice song from Regina Spektor's album Begin to hope:

Watch: Manu Chao - Rainin in paradize

From his latest album, this is a pretty colourful video of a song about all the conflicts in the world.

Watch: Stereo Mc's - Connected

This is such a classic. I heard it the other day and I realised you just can't help swinging to it:) And it reminded me of the party scene in Hackers (where it was being played) and what a funny/silly/likeable movie that is:)

Watch: Emmy Rossum - Slow me down

You might know Emmy Rossum as an actress from movies like Mystic River, The day after tomorrow, The phantom of the opera or Poseidon (which is AWFUL by the way). Well, she has an album coming out, her first single is Slow me down. She's got such a beautiful voice, the voice of an angel really, the song reminds me of Imogen Heap though. Sit back, enjoy:
