The New Pixie Lott video is...interesting - watch now!

If this week's Ugly Betty taught us anything, it's that blogs are for ranting.  Because we live our lives by the Word Of Betty, we at ScopiSat have this to say:  Pixie Lott is a load of damp shit.  She started out her big-time career with 'Mama Do,' an Amy Winehouse wannabe, followed it up with some other forgettable song, and now is chucking out this masterpiece of mediocrity.  Yet somehow she is a HUGE STAR, selling bucketloads of albums and singles, and basically ruining any remaining faith we had in the record buying public.  We're not fans.  She's crap.  We're sure she's a lovely person but whoever her A&R person is should be dragged through the streets to Robbie Williams' house and then forced to watch him relive his drug addled X-Factor performance OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN until they expire from the ABSOLUTE CRINGEY-NESS of the whole thing and then have their body dragged through the streets AGAIN as an example of what happens to 'those kind of people.'  Anyhow, here's Pixie's new video.  Enjoy.

Sabrina Washington says 'OMG' in her new video - watch now!

The other day we posted the new Sabrina Washington track 'OMG,' along with a sort - of review. 

Well now we are treated to a series of moving images carefully choreographed to match the rhythm and subject matter of the song.  The kids are calling it a 'music video.'  

The clip is a bit 'Gaga-lite' with some Ke$ha thrown in, but it looks glossy and definitely does the trick.  What do you guys think? 



The single is out March 22, with an album this summer

New Young Pony Club give us some 'Chaos' in new video - watch now

New Young Pony Club, whose 'Ice Cream' was inescapable in both computer and car commercials for the last couple years, are back with a new single and video. 


It's a by-the-numbers post-indie affair, but it does the trick, and is just the thing to blast out of your vintage Walkman as you walk down the street in Williamsburg if you're trying to 'fit in.' 



We're guessing this won't beat the UK peak of 'Ice Cream,' which at number 40 was their biggest hit.  But on March 1st we can find out...

Sabrina Washington says 'OMG' and it is quite above average - listen now (full track)

Once a part of trio Mis-teeq, along with Alesha Dixon, Sabrina Washington is finally ready to strike out on her own.  The group broke up back in 05, and since then there have been various rumblings about Ms. Washington's solo career. 

Like now-successful-solo-artist-bandmate Alesha, Sabrina was on a reality show - 'I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here' - and her label decided it was time to unleash 'OMG' on the world.   It's a pretty unoffensive R&B tune, and sounds more like what Mis-teeq would be doing today than anything Alesha has done. 



Out March 22nd in the UK on Cash Money Records

HOLD EVERYTHING - VV Brown's 'Shark In The Water' is FREE on iTunes this week

If you live in the US, go to iTunes and get the BRILLIANT 'Shark In The Water' from ScopiSat fave VV Brown. 

NOW. 

Thanks.







Amazing.

It's the Jedward video - watch now

They almost drove Simon to tears on X-Factor, as maybe the first actually quite bad act to make it through to the latter end of the show.  They created what is known as the 'Jedward Paradox.'  (no really, it's on Wikipedia so it must be real)  Apparently, everyone loves to hate them, but they have a healthy slew of straight up lovers as well, including the Prime Minister of Ireland, Leona Lewis, and Calvin Harris.

By the time they were booted off the show, there were debates all over the UK, supporters and condemners, and the assurance that they'd be back, somehow, in some form.  Their sheer willpower and eagerness won them a legion of fans, and also, apparently, a record deal. 

Now witness:  Jedward, the twins who nearly brought down a tv/music empire, with 'Under Pressure (Ice Ice Baby).'



On a side note, Vanilla is looking pretty good no?

Diana Vickers has done a very very good pop song - listen to the debut of 'Once' now


Diana Vickers, the former X-Factor contestant, is gearing up to be one of the better successes from the show, if her debut single is any indication.  It's a pretty brilliant track that manages to be a little bit 80's, a little bit futuristic, a little bit now, and a lot amazing. 

There are only a few albums we here at ScopiSat sit on the edge of our seat for, but Miss Vickers' just clawed her way into the fray.




The single is out April 19th in the UK, and will hopefully see the light of day in the US
