Lets all watch the brand new Lady Gaga "Don't Give Up" video no one wanted us to see

Ages ago, presumably before Gaga ruled the world, her record company farmed her out to appear on this remake of Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush's 'Don't Give Up' with something called The Midway State.  I'm sure they were all trying for some sort of hipster-lightning-in-a-bottle but instead they got.......this.  The label subsequently killed the whole thing but thanks to the magic of the interwebs here it is in all its 'glory.' 



...and that's why it was never released.

New Roisin Murphy - Come to 'Momma's Place', it's LITERALLY AMAZING

Roisin (of Moloko and solo incredibleness fame, if you don't know) has been off living her life and having babies and such, which we suppose is fine but it really is about time she got back to thinking about US.  Apparently she has, because this new single was just announced by her people and it is very very good in a way that only Roisin can be very very good.

Here is 'Momma's Place' (or Mamma's Place, depending on who you believe):


Amazing.

Out January 18.  Buy it.  

Anjulie gets under her "Headphones" - is she the Canadian Lily Allen? Listen now!

Here is a delightful track by Anjulie, an Ontario native who has made a moderate impact on the Billboard dance charts in the last few months. Her music has been heard on everything from The Hills to The Vampire Diaries, and with a new album coming out soon, 2010 just might be her year. This new song, called 'Headphones,' is a light and springy number but with a lyrical bite and wit reminiscent of Lily Allen. In other words, it is very good and deserves a good listen.



See, that was nice, wasn't it?

Chart Chat UK: January 3, 2010

Lady Gaga reigns supreme once again, as 'Bad Romance' edges up 2 places to kick Joe Mcelderry out of the top spot. The only new entry in the top 5 is Ke$ha, whose 'Tik Tok' keeps its momentum going. We're in that weird stagnant time of the year when sales are a bit sluggish and there can be lots of movement - like Alexandra Burke's 'Bad Boys' flying up 13 places despite being 12 weeks old. Next up is the odd chart life of 'You've Got The Love' by Florence and the Machine. The album has been flying off shelves for months now, and in fact the single peaked at 16 a good number of weeks ago. This week, however, sees the single scale a brand new height of 13, up an impressive 18 places on the back of a new video and promo push. Down at 22 is the first new entry in the chart, by Wiley and something called Chew Fu. Stay tuned to see how this one fares next week when people start remembering to buy music. A final note mention should be made of Rage Against the Machine's 'Killing in the Name,' which after a triumphant Christmas number 1 victory brought on by a grass-roots fan campaign, drops 2-40. Though the success wasn't long term, the overwhelming response to the campaign has led to others - most notably one to get Girls Aloud's only single to miss the top 10, 'Untouchable,' into the top 10, thereby preserving their "every single charting at 10 or higher" perfect record. Like in the Rage Against the Machine campaign, fans of the song/band are to download the track en masse in a specific week, in this case, the week of February 1st. Stay tuned to see how that turns out.

The UK Top Ten:
1 - Bad Romance: Lady Gaga
2 - The Climb: Joe Mcelderry
3 - Meet Me Halfway: Black Eyed Peas
4 - Tik Tok: Ke$ha
5 - 3 Words: Cheryl Cole
6 - Starstrukk: 3Oh!3
7 - Don't Stop Believin': Journey
8 - Russian Roulette: Rihanna
9 - You Know Me: Robbie Williams
10- Look For Me: Chipmunk

DRUGTORE VS. HIGH END: MAKEUP REMOVER

Hey everyone,
So this post is going to be about makeup remover. Drustore vs. High End. I wanted to do this post to help you decide wether it is worth spending the extra $ on high end makeup remover, or if it doesnt even really matter and drugstore can do the same thing.

I have choosen MAC "Gently Off", Eye & Lip as the high end makeup remover.

QUALITY: The quality of MAC is, as usual, amazing. However, you can get the same result by just mixing Olive Oil and water.
USE: Just take a makeup remover pad, place it at the entrance of the bottle and direct the bottle upside down about two times.
FEEL: The feel is really oily and it leaves quite a lot of residue.
PACKAGING: The packagins is really sleek and nice. Very nice to handle.
PUCHASING: You can purchase this at your MAC counter or MAC Pro store.
I purchased this for $32.00
OVERVIEW: MAC is a very nice brand so the quality and packaging are amazing. It is pretty easy to use and easy to purchase. However, it is getting quite pricey for a makeup remover and it has an oily feel that leaves residue.
RATING: 4 out of 5


I have choosen Revlon "Clean & Gentle", Eye as the drugstore makeup remover.

QUALITY: The quality is extremley good. Revlon is always grand quality.
USE: Just take a makeup remover pad, place it at the entrance of the bottle and direct the bottle upside down about two times.
FEEL: It feels like chemicals on my face and stings if you get it in your eye. I think that is weird since it is made specifically for eyes.
PACKAGING: The packaging is very sleek, small and thin.
PURCHASING: You can purchase this makeup remover at any chemist/pharmacy, health store, beauty store etc.
I bought mine from Target for $16.50
OVERVIEW: Revlon has made a very good quality makeup remover that is at a reasonable price and easy to use. However, i dislike how it stings when in contact with you eyes and the packaging is very slipery.
RATING: 3 out of 5


CONCLUSION
I choose the MAC makeup remover because it is good quality, i am a MAC junkie and the packaging+formula is very nice. The big reason why is because it doesnt sting. I was so close to choosing Revlon because it was half the price of MAC and did just as well but the thing that lets it down is the fact that it sting my eyes! I dont think it is acceptable to have a makeup remover that stings you eyes and it is made specifically for them! Although MAC leaves and oily feel on my face, i wash it off straight after so it doesnt really both me. However, if i ever feel that $32.00 is getting too much at the time then i will look out for another drugstore remover.

The first "next big thing of '10": Mary N'diaye - a little Gaga, a little Rihanna

Most blogs started their "hotly-tipped for '10" lists back in like, 2008, but ScopiSat prefers to bide our time and see who actually makes it down the record label pipe. Turns out, back in 2008 a lot of people were right, and Mary N'diaye is gearing up to be quite huge. Let's look at the evidence:

The Evidence:
1. She is working with Akon
2. She is AMAZING
The end.

Yes, it is looking very good for her isn't it.

Here is "Take Me Home," which is an absolutely brilliant piece of pop.



Mary's cover "Oh, Pretty Woman" is out on iTunes in both the US and in Europe/UK, and is a must-download. No really. Do it now.
