Lovin' Lego

Last week two great new music videos hit the internet. In six days, one of these already has over 11 million views on YouTube. The other, a mere 2 and a half million in comparison. You've probably already guessed that the first one is Rihanna's We Found Love ft. Calvin Harris. This video has gone viral on a massive scale! I'm always ready to big-up Ri-Ri and I actually do think this video is very cool (and also a little scary).

But it's really the other one that I want to share with you. It's Ed Sheeran's Lego House. I think it is brilliant! In case you haven't seen it yet, I don't really want to give away the ending except to say that it is unexpected and hilarious and just pure class. Watch it! I've seen it again and again and I laugh every time.

Many of you who know me personally already know that TWO gingers in one video... it's practically porn for me! Go ahead, judge away... I'm not slightly embarrassed that both of these boys are on my celebrity crush list.

Listening List

It is Wednesday. So that means it is time for my weekly recommendations. No reading this week though. Just listening. In the spirit of being home and being local and all that, I wanted to big-up de Bajans (highlight some local talent). In the last five years or so there has been an explosion of musical talent on our island. We've always had the soca artists many of whom are extraordinarily talented. But this new surge is really a diversification of genres represented by bands at home. My home-friends will know all of these. But for those of you across the pond and elsewhere, I hope this introduces you to some new favourites.

So I think all these artists are really cool. I hope you do too. Of course, can't big up local talent and forget this girl. She is an inspiration. And I can't help but think that her massive success has in some way driven all the guys above. Also, amazing video!
