One of the problems with writing a blog for the whole of the world is that a lot of stuff can get lost in translation. Something this chick needs to learn a bit about.
xXx: Introducing... Tatu (105 views 0 comments)
Who?
Not a Russian pair of schoolgirl lesbians getting middle-England in a confusing state of angered arousal by necking in the rain, but a well-travelled Finnish laptop DJ, currently residing in Valencia, who looks an awful lot like Moby when he's not wearing massive fake eyelashes.

Another blast from the past for you - they might not have won this week's Mercury Music Prize, but here's Radiohead utterly destroying the main stage at Glasto at the height of Ok Computer's success. A defining moment in modern alternative music if ever ther...

Who?
Young Escape - for that is what it means in english (we haven't suddenly become fluent in Danish, the Google told us) - are a pair of Dane DJ Dames. Or Dame DJ Danes, whichever you prefer. They're blonde, but then they're Danish - they couldn't really be anything else could they?
