Operator Please - Volcanic (AUS)

Operator Please are such a cool band and not just because they feature a violinist and I played the violin as a kid. Their tracks are always a hand clapping, foot stomping good time. Pop at its best! The band was formed in 2005 in Queensland, Australia. Volcanic is the 4th single from their sophomore album, Gloves.

Kele - On The Lam

This is the third single from the Bloc Party frontman's debut solo album, The Boxer. The video's got some cool animation mixed with live action. On The Lam will be out in the UK on October 25th.

YELLE - La Musique (FRA)


I was lucky enough to see the francophone three piece that is Yelle back in 2008 when they went on their very first U.S. tour. They've been busy in the studio preparing their 2nd album and are releasing a new song to wet the public's appetite. Here's the kooky music video for the song La Musique. Quel effort!

Rye Rye feat. M.I.A. - Sunshine

Rye Rye is virtually on the brink of releasing her debut album and it's been a long time coming. After giving birth to a daughter last year and several delays, the LP is looking for a release date in the 1st quarter of 2011. I for one am very excited! I first saw Rye Rye supporting M.I.A. back in 2007 and was immediately hooked. Given the right direction, Rye Rye could be huge!

Ke$ha - Take It Off (K$ n' Friends version)


So Ke$ha and her peeps decided one day recently, since they were bored, that they'd make a brand new video to her latest smash hit, Take It Off. The original version involved a lot of glitter and this one does too, but apparently is influenced by 80's fantasy films. Uhmmm, okay! It's still a great weekend party song, in my opinion.

La Roux - In For The Kill (U.S. version)


La Roux - In For the Kill

LA ROUX | MySpace Music Videos

La Roux's debut U.S. single, Bulletproof, went top 10 on the charts and they're hoping to follow up that success with this next single. In For The Kill went #2 in the UK back in winter '09. This new video has Elly Jackson taking on the role of manager at some macabre hotel. Check it out!

Uffie - Difficult


Uffie - Difficult
Uploaded by Uffie. - Watch more music videos, in HD!
Uffie always seems to take forever to do anything, doesn't she? It took her years to release her debut album, Sex Dreams & Denim Jeans, and then months to get out her videos/singles. But you know what? I still love her stuff and have a real soft spot for Uffie.

Ruby Goe feat. DJ Poet - Beat Breaking Boy (UK)

Ruby Goe is a talented, young London newcomer who I first heard about via Popjustice a few months ago. My friend MNEK, another British wunderkind, just got me onto the video for her track, Beat Breaking Boy. It's a slice of electro-hop deliciousness! It's certainly something I would be playing at a Saturday night house party. When it comes to Ruby Goe, the words 'fresh' & 'fly' come to mind.
