SONG OF THE WEEK : ‘So What’ by Fab The Duo. I must admit I’m not the greatest or even a fan of Pink, but very occasionally she does a great song, and I love this ‘sad version’ of her song by the fabulous Fab The Duo from New York City. They have compared themselves to Sonny & Cher, but with 2 Chers, and I’m inclined to agree. They have wonderful voices and that touch of class.

TOP FIVE VIDEOS FOR THE WEEK:

Tom Aspaul & Funk LeBlanc : The Program ft Madeleine Wood (a modern Alcazar?)

Art d’Ecco

SONG OF THE WEEK: So hard to choose with 9 new tracks, everyone a winner, but I’ve narrowed it down to the spectacular Art d’Ecco and the song TV God’. This song makes a return to the heady days of Glam Rock. For those who remember Bowie in the Berlin phase, Iggy Pop etc, then Art d’Ecco makes a seemingly retro but surprisingly modern-sounding tribute. And the wig is a definite highlight.

TOP FIVE VIDEOS FOR THE WEEK:

Mike Taveira : Curious

KEiiNO : Monument (they’ve still got it!)
