50 Cent is back again and is spittin' all sorts of crazy sh$t with the boy YG. Loving the remix he's done here; it's got that old dusty crackly sound with a hugging bass line and ripply piano clinking throughout.

I've always loved 50's swagger and the way he mumbles and spits through his gritted teeth when he rhymes, but this tune is all nasty and crazy in a real bad way too!

Love listening to this song very loud in my headphones, it's got that laid back southern feel to it and a load of dirty attitude to spare. It's been a while since I last heard a hip hop song that made me think...'damn, this sh%ts good?', but I guess 50 doesn't really put his name on anything that he doesn't believe in,... or support, or approve, or simply can't make some serious money off!

So I'm feelin' this tune and loving the arrangement all over it... So what does 'toot it & boot it' actually mean again?? ;) xo

I'll say this... I've always loved, and will always love Kate Nash. Her music has always created great vibes with me, and it's the sort of music I like to listen to when I'm restless and itching with randomness. It's really thought provoking and her cockney rhyme-lullabies are great fun on the mind.

In terms of her music being labelled as leaning towards the female of the species is unfair; I certainly feel that anyone willing to listen to heartfelt emotions littered across a few tracks will love Kate Nash.

My fave song off 'My Best Friend Is You' is 'Paris'. It's a no holds barred brass band piano chugging affair of tippy toe mercurialism! It's a great bicycle ride of a song that evokes feelings of warm friendship and telling people all sorts of bonkers barminess!

It's ace, it's heart warming, and for all it's worth - it makes for great music for poker dot dress wearing girls to shake to ;)

Now you I know you all love Taylor Swift right?! This girl epitomises what's so amazing about the teenie pop folky scene right now... Which is that if you put enough make-up on it, enough money behind it and enough promo all over it - then you can easily devour the teen masses.

Believe it or not, I did get 'Fearless' and I'm slightly embarrassed to say... That it was actually very good!?! Her music is written very well with cliche verses and imagery - but there's nothing wrong with that I reckon.

I do like this pop tune 'Speak Now', it's timidly paced and chirpy in all sorts of ways. Very catchy and fun is what it really succeeds to be, but its not a bad thing to have a bit of Taylor in amongst your Kings Of Leon and The XX tunes?... Right?? Lol

It doesn't have to be serious all the time, sometimes it's OK to say... "hey, I love Taylor Swift man!" :)

Now when I heard about this cover, I was a bit worried - especially coz I love love love The XX. But this version by the very original and unique Shakira has got a thumbs up from me.

It retains the sentiments from the original meaning of the XX version, but I like the fact that she stepped it up a couple of gears.

There are still a few of the original samples in there - but all in all, it's a decent effort from a decent artist.

Whether XX fans will agree is another topic altogether - but I like it... After all, it's the only decent tune she has on 'Sale El Sol', and 'She Wolf' was just OK... But I am a bloke - and she is well fit too ;)

OK, so who's got the new Kings of Leon record 'Come Around Sundown' - well, I have and after all the hype and general hysteria... it's OK... no really, it's just 'alright'.

Nothing ground breaking, nothing over the top, nothing too far out - just a nice 'in the middle of the road' record for none offensive listening types.

It doesn't pull at your heart strings, it won't make you think deep serious thoughts, and it wont make you wanna 'rock out with your c$ck out!' - but hey, I bet all KOL fans will love this record.

I've got a few faves already; namely Beach Side, Radioactive, No Money, The Face and Back Down South. These are simple songs with no fancy stuff - no extra trimmings, no fancy buckles and no fireworks. Plain and simple KOL folks... but I never said that was a bad thing?

I love these guys and I'll probably be one of those guys who will always run for the next KOL record on release day, but it's not the most exciting album on the block right now.

Give it a listen - or as I have done, listen to the short interviews they've released out there. This one above is about my fave-bestest-loveliest song on the record, Beach Side.

It's simple, flat pack assembly tune'age for the not so fussy people... with a bit of a tendency to make you shake yo' hips to doll ;)

I was driving to work today and everything was fine and dandy. I parked up and locked the car, and as I started to walk away, I noticed that one of my tyres had a slow puncture! Well, I thought of the hassle of getting it changed - but then I remembered that it could have been due to the tyre being 'under pressure' - then I started laughing as I walked and humming this tune.

Thant's all really - I never got into Queen too much, but this song is their best one for me; and it was even better when David Bowie ripped it up too!

So I'm getting my tyre sorted - and I've got this tune on loop on my iPhone - enough said :)

So if you loved the Kill Bill score that RZA did, then you know there were some very varied and wide ranging songs on there. One in particular that stood out in my mind was a song by Meiko Kaji.

I'll be honest - I'd never heard of the lady, let alone wonder what era/genre her music fell in. However, being the open minded varied dude that I am, I gave it a few spins and realised something very quickly.

This music is beautifully deep and rich in swooping strings and soft flutes throughout. Her voice is mesmerising - absolutely heartfelt all the way.

The movie was a blast, the performances memorable, and the score was awesome too. But this song - this song opened up my mind to a new kind of music.

The flower of carnage is anything but; more like delicate petals showering your face on a crisp spring morning.

... It's just beautiful really :)
