Together Launch

Together Flyer

I love this venue down in South London and the line up for this night is amazing. Sub Focus, Mylo and Kode9 should be banging.

I first got a glimpse of this at the NME Awards.. Pretty bleedin deadly if you ask me. But don't ask me check out the song for yourself...


I Put a Spell on You - Shane McGowan & Friends from Morgan Wolfe on Vimeo.

It's released next Monday - March 8th 2010 but you can pre-order the single check out the facebook group- http://bit.ly/9ZMxWA

After the Haiti tragedy, Shane MacGowan and his partner Victoria Clarke made calls to friends begining the process of recording a track from which ALL proceeds go to Concern (a charity who have provided assistance to some of the poorest countries in the world.)

Some of the stars on the record include - Nick Cave, Bobby Gillespie, Glen Matlock, Chrissie Hynde, Paloma Faith, Eliza Doolittle... oh someone called JOHNNY DEPPplays the guitar.

New Music from Estelle!

She had an amazing introduction to the international music scene with her 2008 album Shine and even more so with her monster hit single 'American Boy' ft Kanye West.

Well, 2years on and Estelle is back with new material. 'Freak' is a her new dance influenced track and features Kardinall Offishall. It sounds like it would fit right in to a party at Pacha Or even the Zoo Project in Ibiza this summer which is no surprise as the track was produced by super star DJ, David Guetta.

Personally, I think it's a definite hit. It will sound amazing in the clubs, it's radio friendly with it's catchy sample and chorus courtesy of Soul II Soul from they're classic tune 'Back To Life'.

Enough of me waxing lyrical about the track, check out the video and see for yourself...

True Blood

I blogged about my obsession with this show before but how happy was I when I bumped into Vampire Bill aka Stephen Moyer in person... eh VERY! He was at the BBC studios filming with Mr Jonathan Ross and was, of course, a true gent...

 

NME Awards.. Keith Lemon.. in leather

Keith Lemon.jpg

Me and Mr Lemon rocking the leather look at NME's. It has to be done! He also showed his support to Cheryl Cole by saying if Ashley walked into his local pub, he'd deck him one.

I'm sure Ashley is shitting himself.

NME Awards.. Courtney Love

This is my second time this week running into this hot lady. Her new album with Hole is out next month and she revealed to me that she's got a book deal under her black studded belt... Nirvana fans may not be happy though...

 

NME AWARDS.. SLASH!

I met the Rock god guitarist that is Slash at Brixton Academy on Wednesday. What an awesone dude! He was there to present an award with Lily Allen and revealed to me that he's a fan of Lady Gaga. Who'd have thought it!

Elle Style Awards... Lovely Leona

I've bumped into this lady a lot recently, the stunning Leona Lewis, who was rockin some red lippy and 1940's siren LBD. In a style off between Rickie and Melvin, Leona chose Melv.. But I don't think Ricks minds too much, I mean Claudia Schiffor and Naomi Campbell chose him. He can't stop smiling...

 

Elle Style Awards... Nicholaus Hoult

Nicholaus Holt.jpg

Another extremely stylish man was Nick Hoult who has been getting great praise for Tom Ford's directorial debut 'A Single Man'. No surprise that Nick was dressed head to toe in Tom Ford. My my doesn't he scrub up well.

Elle Styke Awards.. OMG it's the Olsens

olsen twins.jpg

I heart the Olsen Twins. In fact it's quite an unhealthy obsession. There's a reason why these ladies are up there as two of the most fashionable ladies, they definitely are in a league of their own... just one question which one is Mary Kate and which one is Ashley?
