Happy Birthday Inma


Inma Cuesta is 33 today, and what lovely eyes she has.

Inma shares a birthday with celebrity druggie George Michael and polemic journalist and author Eric Arthur Blair, better known as George Orwell. Neither of those two beat Inma in the lovely eyes stakes though.

'I FINK U FREEKY' by DIE ANTWOORD (Official)



Mental, and it's not as if they're any more normal in any of their other videos.

Hot Rock Chicks - Yo-Landi Vi$$er


Yo-Landi Vi$$er is a rapper with South African outfit Die Antwoord.


Die Antwoord appear to be completely mental.


Y0-Landi in a coat made from rats, just another normal day in the weird world of Die Antwoord.


Ok, I'm a bit scared now.


This seems like more normal YS Hot Rock Chick fare, but in a moment she'll start vomiting squid.

Remember This Girl ?



Who is this smoking hot gothette ? Remember pretty little Amy Studt who had a hits with Just A Little Girl and Under Your Thumb ? Well this is her, all grown up and dangerously sexy looking.  Amy's new project is called Mercy Made Me and will be releasing a single, Sleep Walker on the 23rd January 2012 under Cool For Cats Record label digital club - who appear to be so underground that I cannot even find a proper website for them.

I liked Amy's first album, and didn't know until now that she'd released a second one My Paper Made Men - which I'm looking around the web for now, not on i-tunes, not on e-music, not available on Amazon, hmm. Well let's hope that her third release actually goes on sale somewhere I can buy it.

That's a reasonably eclectic year for me.  Black Stone Cherry's Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea drove them to the top of my chart, and the endlessly hilarious Professor Elemental got his creator Paul Alborough second spot.

My top ten are well split between old favourites, Christina, Muse, The Unthanks, and listening that was new to me in 2011 like country rocker Stacie Collins, BSC, Professor Elemental's wonderful steampunk chap hop and Dessa's clever and articulate rap.

Further down my charts are well filled with lots of old favourites - try as I might to search out new and weird music I just can't help coming back to the likes of The Wildhearts, Metallica,  Megadeth, Led Zeppelin, Madness or Siouxsie and the Banshees.  New acts that push their way into my most listened of the year included Manu Chao's upbeat Freanch/Spanish/Basque folk pop, Nigeria's pop/rnb singer Nneka, Czech composer Antonín Dvořák and the rock bands Voodoo Six and Million Dollar Reload.

MeganEmmie BACKSTREET BOYS - As Long As You Love Me FCut



Another of the IGS Media Studies videos, this one suffers from some fairly harsh scene to scene cutting, but it does feature the lovely Paula, ex-waitress of this parish.
