Yeah baby, we're firmly in the 08 now which means it's the return of VIDEO CLUB.

This first song is the current US No 1, 'Low' by Flo Rida and T-Pain. It's a fairly addictive club banger, and it makes me very sad that this sort of thing doesn't fit into the British chart landscape any more. APPLE BOTTOM JEANS! BOOTS WITH THE FUR! It's just so amazing to dance and get drunk to.

Flo Rida actually first came to my attention a few months ago when I first heard 'Birthday', which is probably even better. "I don't want no cake on my birthday, I want my cake E'ERRRY DAY!" Love those weird...what are they? wind chimes? floating around in the background.

Next is the return of the ever-charming Nelly. 'Ride Wit Me' still stands as a pinnacle of human achievement - 'Wadsyaname' is a pretty good comeback! Lovely flowing piano line, lyrics which are chivalrous one minute and lecherous the next, a vague hint of wistfulness about the whole transience of the thing, it all winds up breezy and fun.
