FOXES - YOUTH (VIDEO)

Was really sold on Foxes after seeing her perform with Fall Out Boy on their track Just One Yesterday at Reading. Fell a little bit in love with her jumping around the stage in her killer white outfit. So this re-release of Youth has really grown on me. Even though that 'orrible scary looking male model's in the video. You know, the one who looks like he'd just punch you for no reason then crumble your packed lunch in your face. PLEASE GOD NO, NOT MY BABYBEL.

Youth is out 6th October.

I LIKED IT WHEN I DIDN'T HAVE TO WEAR TROUSERS

Fraser Island, 2009

Came across this whilst going through old photos and drinking Coco Cafe to avoid getting dressed for the day. Despite the lack of showers, limited food supplies and being trapped in a 4x4 with a few questionable people, including one guy who may or may not have drugged our chilli, living on a sand island for a few days was the bomb diggy. Those who know me well know I'd happily live without trousers so to be able to do this was a dream. If a very sweaty, sandy dream. 

p.s. to the uptight girls who wouldn't let us drive the jeep through the McDonalds drive-thru on the way back to the garage. I STILL HAVEN'T FORGIVEN YOU, WITCHES. 

BEBE BLACK - DEATHWISH

Discovered Bebe Black by accident and it was the best accident I ever had. Ended up at her showcase at the Lock Tavern last week and whilst appreciating her leopard print slip I found out what an uh-mazing voice she has. I almost want to stop you from listening to her via the internet until you've heard her live as it just doesn't compare. Her voice is incredible. This was my favourite. And the one I've been singing along to all week. The builders on the roof outside must be LOVING it.

Check out her Soundcloud but most of all check her out live. (Don't Leave Me is beautifully sad.)

JOSEPH GORDON LEVITT X KITTENS

Today my friend alerted me to the existence of these pictures. And despite the rain and the fact I spent most of it writing a cover feature on a slow (let's say vintage) laptop, it turned into the best day ever. LOOK AT HIS FACE SHOVED INTO THE KITTEN'S SKULL! I die.

Photos nicked from Buzzfeed.

WOLF ALICE - BLUSH

This is so beautiful. Bet it sounds uh-mazing live. Sad we didn't get to catch them at SGP, weep.

EP Blush is out 7th October.
