I have first stumbled upon Daniel Merriweather on Mark Ronson’s “Version” album (the “Stop Me”-Medley”, to be exact). Now he has released his first album which reminds me favourably of Ronson’s style while maintaining his own artistic voice. Favourites so far include the really blues-y “For Your Money”, “Change” and the cool duet with Adele called “Water In A Flame”. Check it out at deezer or watch the video for the hit single “Red” below!

Very good for chilling out: Dusty Kid with “Nemur”

The madness that is the Eurovision Song Contest is over for 2009, and I did have a fun night watching it with a couple of friends. However I can’t say I was impressed by the musical “œuvre”. Here’s a short rundown of the evening from Moscow:

A little something more dance-inclined for the weekend: David Guetta feat. Kelly Rowland and “When Love Takes Over”.

I’m not a big fan of “Brunch with Bridget”, an interview vlog with Bridget McManus from Afterellen.com, but I am a fan of Lena Headey, so here’s the episode with a very cute Lena talking about gummi bears, directing and kissing Piper Perabo!

If you ask YouTube, that is. And if you find Peter Allen’s “I Go To Rio” there:

Because this awesome man is not only the creative mind behind “Nip/Tuck” and “Popular” but because he keeps on coming up with brilliant TV shows: evidence of this is “Glee” which, just judging by the trailer below, I will totally love! (What’s not to love when Jane Lynch is involved, really?)

All I Ever Wanted

16 Apr 2009 Category Music

Kelly Clarkson has a new album out, and while I wasn’t particularly thrilled by neither her last effort, “My December”, nor by the first single “My Life Would Suck Without You”, she has managed to win me back over with “All I Ever Wanted” (not quite with the album cover, though - my eyes, my eyes!).

Eliza Dushku is one of my favourite actresses - be it as Faith on “Buffy” & “Angel”, as Missy in “Bring It On”, as Tru in “Tru Calling” or the feisty daughter in “True Lies”. Alas also, let’s be honest here, in a lotta roles she can’t be very proud of (at least it was partly painfully to watch: “Soul Survivors”, anyone?). More importantly though, she can be caught on the small screen right now every week, as Echo in Joss Whedon’s new show “Dollhouse”.
