Bat For Lashes or Natasha Khan if you prefer, is rising in my interest meter as of late. I was totally clueless on the voice from Brighton England until London D put her music up. I could give you a million excuses on why last week was my introduction to B.F.L but you’re allowed to miss a good one every now and then, besides, running a new website is valid enough. Here’s a listen to “Sleep Alone” which you may have heard a snippet on the Epk London posted a few weeks back. The eagerly awaited album “Two Suns” is in stores next Tuesday.

Update – Two Suns now streaming on MySpace

Peter Hadar has returned to the cafe with a brand new video for “Planets” off of his sophomore album Well Dressed For The Art Show. Video features Victoria Secrets model Selita Cannon Ebanks, a horrid memory of Legos and a reminder to myself that my next place I live, will definitely contain a similar view.

Grammy Award winner, Adele stop by the David Letterman show last night to perform my favorite track according to my Itunes plays counted, Hometown Glory, off of her debut album 19.
Simply put, this performance is amazing. Seeing her perform live at the Apple Store a few months ago and watching this video gives us high hopes for her sophmore album. Which she has been writing for since her US tour ended in late January.

While Hollywood Q is giving this post a side eye, due to the fact that J*Davey isn’t putting out as much new material as he likes. I’m just happy they are being proactive and releasing videos. Sloow is off of their album, The Beauty of Distortion/Land of the Lost EPs, which is in stores now. If you like this video or a fan of J*Davey head over to mtvU and vote for this video.

To this day when I play Camp Lo’s, Uptown Saturday Night, I felt that they were on some futuristic ish. An East Coast Outkast, if you will. Well, Camp Lo is back with their second video off of Stone & Rob: Caught On Tape (which is in stores now). This track one features Styles P. While it might not be set in the future, Camp Lo is doing just fine in the present.
