Lean On Me - Bill Withers

Lean on Me is a classic hit song written and performed by Bill Withers on the 1972 album Still Bill. Ranked number 205 on the Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time the original version of the song has become a popular inspirational anthem and would be Withers' first, and as it turns out - only, Billboard Hot 100 number one single.

There have been a number of cover versions recorded in Mud (1976), Al Jarreau (1985), Club Nouveau (1987), dc Talk (1992), Michael Bolton (1994), Bonnie Tyler (1999), Anne Murray (1999), and Limp Bizkit (2005).

The Hours - See The Light Clip Starring Sienna Miller

This is the dramatic and disturbing new video from British band The Hours starring the very talented Sienna Miller portraying a mental hospital patient in the unrelenting grip of a breakdown. Seemingly trapped in a designer store before escaping and moving barefoot and frightened through the streets before gut wrenchingly stating in therapy, "Death feels like the safest place for me right now."

Very cool Rihanna video you've probably never seen.

Is she beautiful? Undoubtedbly. Does this photo make her look both innocent and sexy? Absolutely. Can I share a little secret with you? The more observant of you may have noticed already.

Most disgusting headline ever. Making fun of Travis Barker.

In a case of the poorest taste shown in "journalism", and I use the word loosely here, the New York Post posted the following headline in an article about Travis Barker, the Blink 182 drummer critically injured in a plane crash on 20 September.

Sarah Palin - Barracuda has Heart Problems

It seems the use of the song "Barracuda" that has been used by the Republican Campaign has pissed off the song's writers' Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart. On Thursday afternoon, the band, Heart, emailed out a statement regarding vice-presidential candidate Sarah "Barracuda" Palin's use of their song at the Republican National Convention.

Following Republican Vice Presidential Nominee Sarah Palin’s introduction to the world, some have taken to calling her Sarah "Barracuda" Palin, which apparently presented an opportunity that the McCain/Palin Campaign could not pass up. Palin's nickname in high school was "Sarah Barracuda" which seems an odd nickname for someone who won the "Miss Congeniality" award

Breathe Me - Sia

Breathe Me by Sia is a song you have probably heard snippets of lately in the Olympic Games advertising. You may recognise it as the song that played out the final minutes of the series Six Feet Under in the beautifully moving finale.

It is also one of my all time favourite songs. It is achingly beautiful

Umbrella - Rihanna or Mandy Moore - which do you prefer?

Even though the song has been doing the rounds for a while now Rihanna's Umbrella has been getting a lot of airplay lately. I have just recently discovered Mandy Moore did a cover version.

I've put up both versions, which one do you prefer

Gnarls Barclay videos for Crazy and Run

Crazy is the first ever single to top the UK singles chart purely on download sales as it was released online a week before it was released as a CD single.

The filmclip is a personal favourite. A clever animation of the creators portrayed in Rorschach inkblot style. It's innovative and matches the funkiness of the song perfectly

Weezer's new clip - all your fave internet stars together!

The latest music video offering by Weezer for their new song Pork and Beans has received almost 2 million views within the first 24 hours of being uploaded. It has since received almost 4 million hits. If you watch the clip you will see why. It has to be one of the cleverest clips I’ve ever seen.

Directed by Matt Cullen of production company Motion Theory who came up with the idea only a few weeks ago and shot it in early May. "For people who aren't on the internet, this is like a web CliffsNotes to getting into internet culture," he told technology website Wired
