Oh look, more sensitive dance music! Modernaire are from England and they are my new obsession-of-the-moment.. Recommended for fans of Yelle, the Faint, maybe the Blow? Hook-y, synth-heavy, sorta-sentimental pop for people who have hearts. RCRD LBL has a download of their song “Faites Vos Jeux” here.

I love this — Madonna pays a little tribute to the King of Pop on the opening night of her ‘Sticky & Sweet’ Tour on July 4th. Her dancer is fucking awesome.

  1. The picture of Haviland makes me miss your vlogs that you did together. Any chance we’ll ever get more?

    • Yes, there is … a chance! Defo a chance. The problem at the moment is that I can’t afford to go to L.A. and Hav’s not planning a trip out here any time soon … but um, as soon as I make the big bucks, I’ll be on a Virgin Airlines flight right out there. Or maybe Virgin Airlines will read this and sponsor my flight. hello Virgin! I love your sexy lighting and I LOVE your wireless and I love your foods! Lesbians love air travel! Wheeee!
