Lily Allen - Not Fair

I've been in love with Lily Allen for quite a while now. Ever since the time I stood in the packed Kasabian Big Day Out crowd watching a topless Lily Allen dance like a regular punter on top of some random guys shoulders, I knew this party girl was something special. She was off chops and having the time of her life on her own. There's one thing for certain, and that's that Lily knows how to party.

Just when I thought my love for Lily couldn't get any stronger along came a country style Lily singing about her lovers inadequacies. Oh Lily, why do you keep doing it to me. At least my wife now has the country Lily haircut. hehe, my secret plans to turn Katie into Lily are finally coming to fruition!

I love the old-school feel of this clip, it reminds me of Weezer Buddy Holly clip a bit, gotta love the flash backs.

Kasabian - Empire

Kasabian are one of my all-time favourites! They're so damn good when it comes to a live show, and after three albums the band has bucked modern trends and actually come up with three distinctively different albums that don't sound exactly like the last.

They're back in Australia at the moment much to my delight, so I thought why not give the Leicestershire lads some SOTD loving by showing you one of my favourite Kasabian tunes.

This clip is great, although it's a tad confusing as the film clip show's a runner being shot, but it's not the clip to their tune Shoot The Runner which is off the same album.

Anyway, it's a cracker tune, with a killer clip. Can't wait to see them live again! What's your favourite Kasabian tune?

Bat For Lashes - What's A Girl To Do

Damn I love Bat For Lashes, Natasha Kahn has an amazing voice and is pretty damn beautiful at the same time.

I love this haunting song so damn much that I almost killed it for myself by playing it a little too much... and then I saw the film clip! Such a cool idea and executed really well. It embraces it's inner Donnie Darko a bit, which just makes it even cooler.

Anyone else feel like grabbing the bmx and stunt pegs and hitting the streets tonight in animal masks?

The Stills - Still In Love Song

I'd never heard of The Stills when a work colleague threw the CD at my head and jokingly said 'Oh Woodduck, this is shit, you and ya missus might like this one after a few cones'.

It turns out that rude (but thoughtful) work mate was actually right, not that it was shit, but rather that me and the missus really did like it.... So much so that it was on high rotation in our stereo for the entire year of 2003. It was their debut album, and two albums on The Stills are easily the coolest thing to come out of Canada since Terrance and Phillip.

So kick back and drink in this big warm cup of awesome. Mmmmm tasty!

Cloud Control - This Is What I Said

Cloud Control is a local Sydney band that’s been rocking my world lately as well as making waves in the local music scene of late. They're certainly one of the best Aussie bands getting around at the moment, and bring a smile to my face when ever I put their album on.

Their latest album Bliss Release is full of sweet and soft tracks that are like little cloud pillows for your weary ears. Their folky pop tunes make for a very happy lazy Sunday afternoon.

They're off to the UK for a tour before returning to Oz for Splendour In The Grass and a tour with The Magic Numbers, so if you get the chance to see them live, do so, you won't be disappointed.

I picked this song simply because makes me smile and feel happy... not a bad reason for a song of the day, I reckon.

British India - Avalanche

Melbourne Rockers British India are back with their third album and it's kicking my arse with it's awesomness at the moment. Earlier this year I was all about my overseas bands, but it's great to see there's some killer albums from Aussie artists starting to fill up my 'top ten' list of albums for 2010. This is making it on the list so far.

It's great to have some cool Aussie rock to listen to that hasn't been watered down, plus the clip has slow-mo, and what guy doesn't love some sweet slow-mo action?
