The New Ladyhawke Video Has Frights, Commercial Potential
First things first. It is spooky week here on the Lipster, so it is only appropriate that we should mention something frightening about the new Ladyhawke video. A mountain made from scary cats' heads! Shudder etc.

Vampires Of Rock: U2
The Daily Fail reported yesterday that god-fearing Bono, self-appointed Saviour of Rock and all-round dullard, was caught 'carousing' with two teenage girls in St Tropez. It made us think of vampires, for some strange reason...

We Love Bands As Toys
It's been a good month for weird music merch. First those Kiss Mr Potato Heads - yes please - and now Daft Punk BearBricks? Obviously they are useless tat and all, but we sort of want them.

Tittsworth's WTF Is Our Best Song This Week
And here's why: like everything good at the moment, it is straight outta Baltimore; it is sweary in the right places; it makes us want to rave it up when we would usually want to stay in and watch telly / play Mario Kart; it uses Kid Sister and Pase Rock to their full mazin potential; the cover made us like it before we'd even heard it...

New Feist Video Features No Excitable Dancing
Leslie Feist knows her way around a decent pop promo. Choreography on a dangerously large scale! Multi-coloured glittery catsuits! Dancing on airport travelators! Co-ordinated fireworks! All exciting. Yet the video for Honey, Honey appears to be about the perils of puppet fishing. Yes, it's dramatic-ish, but where's the showbiz razzle dazzle?

Let's Talk About Lizzi From Gang Gang Dance's T-Shirt
A couple of weeks ago we went to see arty noiseniks Gang Gang Dance (Good Pretentious, since we're having that sort of week) in London. The revelation of the night was Lizzi's T-shirt - a souvenir from the Ladies Only Tour of 2004, starring Missy Elliott, Beyonce and Alicia Keys. We asked her about it and here's the official line: she really loves both Missy and Alicia, though she is not so keen on Beyonce. YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST.

Gildas From Kitsune Maison Talks Square Clothes, Bittersweet Disco Music & La Roux's Cat
Last week we put the entire Kitsune compilatory canon up for grabs. We also spoke to Top French Person and label bossman Gildas about Kitsune's upcoming tour of Grande Bretagne what starts on November 21st. He had a dreamy accent and we did spend a lot of the interview cursing our parents for not bringing us up in the banlieues, because then we might not currently speak in thoroughly unsexy Estuary.

Free Download! Headlights - Cherry Tulips (TJ Lipple Mix)
Here's a free dreamy and pleasant track to warm you on this chilly Tuesday morn. We had not heard of Headlights before today, but we are glad we have now. They are a bit Chairlift-Broadcast-Mercury Rev and they are from a place called Champaign which gives them 11 extra cool points.
