Mark Ronson & The Business Intl. - Somebody to Love Me (feat. Boy George and Andrew Wyatt)

I didn't really like this song at first but it has really grown on me. However, I'm not so sure about this live version...What does everyone think?


The video for the song is great. It's by Saam Farahmand who has directed a lot of great videos, including the baffling Simian Mobile Disco video for Cruel Intentions which I have mentioned on here before. Also, he's Iranian, so hey I like him a little more because of that, I'm not going to lie.

The XX - Islands

They've been around for a while, and I though that I'd made my mind up on The XX. I didn't really get the hype.
When I first say this video I found it amazingly irritating. Then I found it interesting when I saw it a second time. Now this song keeps popping into my head... 


The video was directed by Saam Farahmand who filmed a documentary of the Soulwax 2006 tour 'Part of the Weekend Never Dies' as well as Simian Mobile Disco's video for Cruel Intentions, which was part of a short film . Oh, and Cherly Cole's '3 Words' video. It's good, but the less said about her the better probably.
