Seasons of Love

This is my favourite song from RENT. I love Tracie Thoms' bit. She is also in Death Proof, a movie by Terantino which is hysterical.

Gaga's Bad Romance

I don't like Lady Gaga at all but this video is crazy and love the chorus! "Gaga Ooh LA LA"

Arctic Monkeys

I went to the Arctic Monkeys concert at the N.I.A in Birmingham with my friend Sophie. Was by far the best concert ever because Alex Turner is just a God. We were constantly shoved by yobs, our feet were barely touching the ground and we were being carried by the crowd! Also we got so many cups of "beer" chucked on us..not nice. But worth it.



Their new album "Humbug" is so dark and magical. Even better than "Favourite Worst Nightmare"

To My Haters

This is a hysterical video my friend Polly showed me. He does his own reviews of EVERY single song sung on x-factor. People commented on his videos saying he needs to get a life etc. This is his response.

Girls - Lust for Life

This is my favourite music video EVER EVER EVER.
Enjoy.

Nylon TV

One of my favourite magazines is Nylon. I am obsessed with their monthly videos for each issue. This video of Mary-Kate Olsen is my favourite. Also love the music - Their Cell by Girl in a Coma

Chuck Norris Vs. Bruce Lee

Just had an argument with my friend Matty about who was greater - Chuck Norris or Bruce Lee. She thought Chuck Norris was and gave me the worst Chuck Norris jokes you could believe!!
"At birth, Chuck Norris came out feet first so he could roundhouse kick the doctor in the face. No one delivers Chuck Norris but Chuck Norris"
But I totally rinsed her, cause this video PROVES that Bruce Lee owns Chuck Norris..

Cousins

My friend Sofie showed me Vampire Weekend's new song, thought the video was really exciting! He is so cute

Leah Hayes

I did a illustration course at Parsons in New York the past summer for two weeks. Was so much fun but the hardest thing I've ever done! My teacher, Leah Hayes, was awesome. He favourite word: 'trippy'. She's got some amazing illustrations. She also does some things on scratch boards which are bloody incredible.

The Sartorialist

I got my friend, Sophia, the Sartorialist' new book for her birthday since he is her favourite blogger.
Scott Schuman: 'I started The Sartorialist simply to share photos of people that I saw on the streets of New York that I thought looked great. When I worked in the fashion industry (15 years), I always felt that there was a disconnect between what I was selling in the showroom and what I was seeing real people (really cool people) wearing in real life.'

Ruvan Wijesooriya

Ruvan Wijesooriya is one of my favourite photographers. He is based in New York City. He also did the shoot for gossip girl when Jenny Humphrey starts her line J. Humphrey designs.

Shutter Island

This is a movie directed by Martin Scorsese (director of Aviator and Gangs of New York) set in the US in 1954 about Teddy Daniels looking for a mentally unstable murderer that has escaped from the hospital on Shutter Island - with Leo as Teddy Daniels, who is absolutely amazing! Cannot wait for this to come out...

MUTO by BLU

This is an amazing video of a graffiti artist - God knows how long this took him!



Also check out my friend Georgie-Rose Herman's blog. She's got another one of BLU's videos on hers.

Bigmouth Strikes Again

The Smiths' make beautiful melodies with scary lyrics...

"Sweetness, sweetness I was only joking
When I said I'd like to smash every tooth
In your head"

And you've got to love Morrissey's Manchester accent!
