Monday, January 30, 2012 at 11:41AM Knife Party, one of the most exciting acts to emerge in 2011, start 2012 with a bang by dropping this brand new unreleased track entitled 'Centipede'. Sounds massive, very Skrillex-ey in parts.

This footage is just making me SO SO happy!!
Sunday, January 29, 2012 at 1:10PM Yesterday saw the funeral of Soul legend Etta James, who sadly passed away last week - The Roots and the legendary Stevie Wonder both paid tribute in their own unique way, but it was Christina Aguilera's rendition of the iconic 'At Last' that was the stand out performance. An amazing lady, and a top vocal from Miss Aguilera (she should cover up a bit more next time though).

Live footage of D'Angelo's performance in Stockholm tonight, which was his first gig in 12 years, but you really wouldn't guess it.

THE GOD IS BACK!!!!
"CHICKEN GREEEEEASE!!!!"

'5 Minutes' shows a completely different side to the DJ turned singer, with much deeper lyrics and a purer sounding vocal - big fan.

Tuesday, January 24, 2012 at 12:45PM During his time in France, Ed Sheeran dropped into a hotel in Paris to do a little acoustic session for Now Playing magazine - during the session he performed this brilliant cover of one of my favourite Nina Simone tracks, which is a song that he has been performing at all of the dates on his recent UK tour. Check out 'Kiss Me' & 'Grade 8' after the jump.
