NEW BASTILLE: bastille vs grades - torn apart

bastille vs grades - torn apart
you gotta watch this video, what starts off as a dance piece about lovers of all kinds turns into a twisted acid trip version about lovers of ALL KINDS! you have to see it to believe it! taken off the mixtape 'vs (other people's heartache's vol III)', this is yet another gem from the varied collaboration collection.

INDIE DANCE BITCH DANCE: tiga - shoes

tiga - shoes

weird and wacky: alanis morissette - my humps

alanis morissette - my humps (black eyed peas cover)
[just plain random! this seems to come out of nowhere. perhaps it's a response to being in a studio recording her latest album or maybe she's bummed out with the shallowness of the current music scene. who knows, this is still weird.]

weird and wacky: bjork leaks out snippets of her new album

ever so 'interesting' bjork's camp has started to leak out loop tracks taken from her upcoming album volta. each snippet is around 20 seconds long and boy are they kooky!
