No One's Gonna Love You

Shake

Beat Of My Drum

I'm Not Your Toy

La Roux's videos are exceptionally cool; I'm glad she's ditched the pink eye shadow though.

Remedy

The Loving Kind

While we're on the subject of music videos, have a look at the result of Girls Aloud's collaboration with the Pet Shop Boys. It's the second single taken from their excellent 5th album, Out of Control.

The Fear

I love Lily Allen's videos*; in fact, I enjoy all her marketing: her branding is quite successful and consistent in conveying a kind of quirky, fun, humanity.

Also, make sure you download Alright Steal, music like dirt's compilation of her first album's samples. (Plus Lord Kitchener's fantastic calypso ode to the capital, London Is the Place for Me).

*I should note that I'm excluding 'Smile', a song whose video I found uncharitable and deeply sinister.

Ayo Technology

When 50 Cent wrote his definitive lament on the perils of pornography addiction back in 2007, he could hardly have expected this Belgian cover to come just a year later; a truly genre-bending work. (h/t Kanye West).

Going On

I failed to pick up on quite how amazing this song was when the second Gnarls Barkley album was released, but I now agree with Kanye West, this is the best song on it.

Outta My Head (Ay Ya Ya)

This video raises the inevitable question of which Simpson sister is the more artificial; the song, however, is strangely compelling, while the video displays a commendable Surrealist influence.
