We Have A SoundCloud Thingy So You Can Send Us Tunes
Soundcloud - a lovely little widget which allows us for to receive music - is very useful indeed. So if you need to send us owt, this is how you do it. Blah Blah Blah this box would look rather empty if we did not fill it so we are filling it as it will make the page look more 'balanced'. We are not anal or anything but it would look weird otherwise. And incidentally, we are not alone in web-based anality - because the real actual Little Boots told us the other day she had a massive strop when the links in her mailout were sent out in the wrong colour. GET HER, READERS.

Some Amusing Google Searches That Have Led People To Our Little Website
As any of you with your own web home will know, it is possible to use the remarkably swizzy Google Analytics tool to find out who is looking at your site / how many lookers there be / where they do live / what flavour Muller Light they favour, etc etc etc. But what is also a top lark is to look at the Google searches people have used to find us. Some of our favourite and best ones, then, after the jump.

What Happens When You Use Jay Sean Lyrics As Chat-Up Lines?
A little while back, young Stuart led us on a remarkable journey in search of Tinchy Stryder's Pretty Lady. And readers, it did not end well. This week, Stuart embarks upon another shiny R'n'B based quest, but this time it is to test out Jay Sean's 'urban poetry' and see if it will induce ladies to pash off with him.

Today's New Music Videos And What They Have Taught Us
There are loads of attention-worthy videos haunting the internets this morning, so we decided to find out what they were truly worth, and what they could teach us about life. And lo, we found culinary tips from Telepathe, how to "do emotional" by Lykke Li and a lesson in confusing narrative from Kelly Clarkson.

Free Download! Lady Sovereign 'Jig-Raw' Mixtape
We were going to bring you links to both Lily Allen's pre-album "minimix" and Lady Sovereign's similar 'Jig-Raw' (the album's called Jigsaw, see!), but instead of a simple email swap, Lily's label seem to want every address you've lived at in the past 16 years, your medical history and a DNA sample. Sinister. Lady Sov's, meanwhile, is a simple click and download...

Let's Play A Game: Those Dancing Days Video Or A Clip From Skins?
Those Dancing Days have gone and got themselves a new single ready. (It's actually a re-release of an old one called Those Dancing Days, which must save on ink when you're doing the artwork). It's obviously very brilliant and the video for it looks all Skins-like. Ping! We have taken this idea and we are about to run with it, so, here's a test to see if you can tell these two things apart.

Nick From The Virgins Does The Questionnaire
The Virgins are responsible for a) the penis T-shirt and b) that song Rich Girls. We spoke to Nick, who plays bass and has a cold, on the phone when they were in London a couple of weeks ago. Some of the questions are a little bit recycled because we only remembered we were talking to him when his "people" phoned to say he'd be five minutes late. :s

Win! Girls Rock: The Movie DVDs
I watched Girls Rock: The Movie yesterday and spent most of the time either beaming or wishing there had been a Rock Camp in Lincolnshire (there was 'Limelight' drama club but Beth Ditto didn't come and teach us how to scream). It is sweet, funny and just a little bit touching. And what do you know, we have two copies on DVD* to give away to you, lucky readers, after the jump...
