"I don't care what nobody says I'm gonna be his lover"

While sharing my love of Lykke Li last week, I forgot to share her cover of "Knocked Up" by Kings of Leon. Originally they asked her to do a remix of the song and it evolved from there.

Viva La Vida Oprah

Definitely an intriguiing, entertaining and awkardly danceable endeavor

While on the subject of Coldplay I thought I'd take the opportunity to show off their bright and shiny Grammy's poster (I featured Thom Yorke's a while back.) I already know each band's performance is going to be pretty stellar since they're both Rock Gods in their own right.

I'll be flipping back and forth between that and "Big Love" to check out the live performances and to see if M.I.A's water breaks on stage, since she's 9 months pregnant and due to give birth the day of the show. Hopefully her water will break and Sir Paul McCartney will deliver the baby back stage then she'll go on to win Record of the Year and perform Paper Planes with Jay-Z and whoever else turns up.

"...if you catch me at the border I got visas in my name..."

Though I wasn't even a zygote during The Last Great War, I hearken the sonic bombardment of having to listen to Paper Planes over and over again in the Pineapple Express trailer, to having to listen to the luftwaffe attempt to dominate Europe. Strong words I know, but the song was just overplayed. Though "Slumdog Millionare" totally redeemed it for me and features the original and the even more stellar M.I.A. - Paper Planes (DFA Remix) .

While on the subject of Ms. Arulpragasam here are a few mnore sick tracks from "Kala."

"World Town"

"Jimmy"

"20 Dollar"
