Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend

She's part Welsh, part Greek. She can belt out a corker of an indie-pop tune. She is Marina And The Diamonds. Her album entitled The Family Jewels is out now to buy and download. Tunes I love are single Hollywood, Hermit The Frog and I Am Not A Robot. 

NME.co.uk released an Aspirins For My Children Remix of I Am Not A Robot  as part of their daily download a few months back. Download it at NME.co.uk

A Hug in A Headphone

Well last week was slightly richer in the singles stakes, what with (now not-so) brand spanking new shiz from Courteeners, Hot Chip and Marina and the Diamonds. But here goes.
Singles you probably don't own yet, but definitely should:
Calvin Harris - You Used To Hold Me (nu-disco goodness from the nu-disco Duke)
Taylor Swift - Today Was A Fairytale (like a shot-size romcom)
Helping Haiti - Everybody Hurts (albeit a predictable choice of song, it's for a better than good cause so don't be so cheap!)
John Q Public - Voices Of Refusal EP (donate what you want for this EP and ALL proceeds will go straight to the Haiti Relief Fund).

If you buy nothing else this week or could buy an album but that would mean eating value beans, then embrace the vaule beans.
Albums you need in your life today:
Massive Attack - Heligoland (They're supermassive and they're back. Nuff said.)

OK so I know they were released last week BUT Hot Chip have a One Life Stand with Your name on it and Peter Andre has, ermmm, no strings attached love waiting to embrace your ears. They're not shy and neither should you be.

Have fun with your iPods this week!
