Here is a song that sounds like Amy Winehouse but isn't

Paloma Faith has been on the radar ever since she blew away everyone at Radio 2 Introduces... her first single didn't do so well (#17) but this one is quite nice and though it will probably do about the same (#17) the whole point really is to sell albums these days, right?



The single is out Sept 13th on Epic Records in the UK

Calvin Harris has a new single out sometime

ScopiSat is still a little confused about when it's out though... and the video certainly isn't any help is it...



Out now on Sony BMG

Update: at first it sounded a bit crap but it gets better if you stick with it

Sign of the Apocalypse #3

Another 'one to watch' that is actually worth watching

This is Ellie Goulding. She is an 'artist' that has been touted on 'the blogs' for quite some time and is ramping up to actually release some music that the masses can purchase. I think we are all in agreement that she is very very good.


Yes? Yes.

A preview of Natalie's 'Want' makes us Want it much, much more

Apparently ScopiSat wildly misjudged the Natalie Imbruglia comeback bus because if this new radio rip is anything to go by, the bus is going to crush anything and everything in the way and will wind up parked in the AMAZING space at the depot.



'Want' is out September 28 on Malabar Records.

Some math.

That is all.

Chart Chat UK, Aug. 9, 2009

Another week, another new number 1 on the UK chart. Tinchy Stryder and Amelle (of Sugababes fame) scream into the pole position, relegating Black Eyed Peas to number 2. Tinchy is becoming quite a force to be reckoned with, as this is his third top 5 hit this year. The only other new entry into the top 10 this week is the Ian Carey Project with dance tune 'Get Shaky.' There's not much else to be said about this run-of-the-mill club track, and while a number 10 hit is nothing to sniff at, the song is hardly a breakout success. The chart gets more interesting down at number 14, where up-and-comer Little Boots screams up 19 places with her new single 'Remedy.' It seems like the tastemakers will finally be vindicated after next week's full release when I'd put all bets on this being in the top 10. Not so lucky are Girls Can't Catch, whose debut single clocks in at 26. The midweeks indicated the latest girl-band might trouble the upper half of the top 40 right out of the gate, but alas it was not to be. The jury is still out on the group's success, and we'll see where the track goes from here.

The UK Top Ten:
1 - Tinchy Stryder ft Amelle: Never Leave You
2 - Black Eyed Peas: I Gotta Feeling
3 - Mr. Hudson ft Kanye West: Supernova
4 - JLS: Beat Again
5 - Beyonce: Sweet Dreams
6 - Pitbull: I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)
7 - Cascada: Evacuate the Dancefloor
8 - La Roux: Bulletproof
9 - Lady Gaga: Paparazzi
10 - Ian Carey Project: Get Shaky

Beth Ditto does her best Kate Gosselin

The Gossip have a new video out for 'Love Long Distance.' It's a typical Gossip-y affair of guitars and throbbing bass but the most notable thing about this video is the animated Beth Ditto reverse-mullet. Kate Gosselin claims another victim :(
