LILY ALLEN: The Fear

Life has been a bit rough for Lily: a miscarriage, a broken-off engagement with fiance, Chemical Brother Ed Simons, and a much label delayed second album. Well things seem to be back on track for the pop enfant terrible, with this new single including the brilliant lyric, "I am a weapon of mass consumption." The spoiled brat personae is further foiled by this Nez directed video. Watch the music video (qt).

M.I.A.: Jimmy

Easily one of the best tracks of the year, M.I.A. turns her ruffneck grime style to the camp disco of Bollywood. A genius, tongue-in-cheek remake of "Jimmy Jimmy Aija" of the Hindi film Disco Dancer, the swirling synths and psychedelic strings leave the average listener puzzled at initial hearing. When fully experienced with gold lamé multi-armed demigoddess choreography, bitmapped wallpaper FXs, and shapely shadow dancing, you fall in love with it all over again. The video is gloriously directed by Nezar Khamal. Watch the music video (qt).
