Winner and my personal favourite from the Eurovision of 2012 – this is Loreen with her excellent dance track “Euphoria”. I think she’s been watching Running Up That Hill…

Video Vault – Derek Bishop
Note to self – don’t get on Derek’s bad side! Reminds me of War of the Roses – “Where’s Benny?”
Video Vault – Delta Heavy
The songs nice enough but the video is simply a classic in the history of music videos!
Video Vault – Smile.dk
This brings me back teenage memories of playing Dance Dance Revolution in arcades – and failing miserably.
Welcome Back Fiona Apple!
Fiona Apple returns! Hurrah! Trying to give Kate Bush a run for her money at productivity rates, Apple returns with a new album later in the year but for now we have new single “Every Single Night” which is very stripped back and mellow yet intensely vocal.
Video Vault – Lay Low
Lay Low is a lovely cute Icelandic singer/songwriter and I love the way she mixes effortless guitar melodies with complex beats. Here is Bye Bye Troubles.
Video Vault – Afrirampo
Could these ladies be any more stupidly awesome? Their latest album admittedly from 2010 We Are Uchi No Ko just arrived today. It’s going to be a long night!
Video Vault – Bic Runga
Bic Runga’s 4th full album Belle arrived at the end of 2011 but hasn’t made it to UK shores. Still, everyone can get it on digital download and this time things are more upbeat! Welcome to Hello, Hello!
Video Vault – Derek Bishop
Always fun and complete with a cap, Derek Bishop’s latest video is for “Why Hold On”, a bluesy honky tonk tumble through the leaves from his album Resistance is Beautiful.
Video Vault – Genki Rockets
Whilst lapping up every second of Child of Eden, I have fallen head over heels for this song to the point where I’ve now bought their albums.
Video Vault – Secret Skwirl
A rather funktastic psychedelic rock band with an awesome name if ever there was one!
Video Vault – Gregory Douglass
Gregory Douglass returns with a new album “Remixed” featuring fresh takes on old songs. Here is the stirring music video to “American City”
Video Vault – Sheri Miller
Sheri Miller returns with the cute single “Spoons” complete with ultra cute video! This comes from her EP “Winning Hand”
Video Vault – Imogen Heap
Second part of today’s double bill is the video to the fantastic “Neglected Space” which is the best spoken monologue committed to music.
Video Vault – Down the Machine
Featured as a new band a few weeks ago UK based rockers Down the Machine return with a new single “Know Your Place”. A perfect blend of adult rock and infectious chords that roll and roll, it’s an excellent introduction to a band that’s certainly on the rise!
