A total must-hear; laidback, chill, and beautifully tranquil.

Sweet baby Jesus, X-Factor UK just became an obsession of mine!! More specifically because of Danyl!!! This was by far the best performance I have ever, E V E R, seen on a reality singing competition. And it was only his audition!!! The charisma, the appeal, the presence, the voice... homeboy's electrifying!!! I definitely spent the last half-an-hour replaying this vid and each time it got better than before- yes, it was THAT good! Seriously, he pretty much made love to all the judges, even Simon developed a crush on him [just look at his face!]!! Without a doubt whatsoever, I call that Danyl will dominate, obliterate, and ultimately win the competition this season. No doubt about it!!

Geren Ford = a summer must!

Ladies, 

If you're looking for line that is sophisticated yet playful and has a dash of bohemian attitude than get acquainted with the likes of Geren Ford:

"A label that sports a level of sexiness akin to sitting on a chaise lounge in a swanky Parisian hotel or just relaxing by the beaches some where far from your usual hectic life."

What the sweet baby Jesus is this!??

Surprise!! Blair Waldorf Leighton Meester can actually lay down a track!! And I have to agree with Pretzel, this song has potential "summer anthem" written all over it. I'm totally diggin' the electrifying beat and the awesome dynamic paring between Cobra Starship and the Gossip Girl starlet. Good way to start out your singin' career, B!

STATELESS On The Rise!!

Stateless fuses a band set-up of vocals by Chris James, bass by Justin Percival and drums by David Levin with the electronic mesh of turntables of DJ Kidkanevil and live programming by Rod. Aching pianos, flashes of scratched wrath, restless faltering falsetto at a strangled pace, mournful loverlorn inhalations--this pain-etched dose of trip hop bargaining is a big-time-seeking attack of calculated anguish that I am most certainly looking forward to exploring. Stay tuned.
