I know it seems like forever and an age that we’ve all been pressing “replay” on her YouTube videos, but yesterday her debut single Video Games finally went on sale. If you’ve not listened to her yet, drop everything and press play: for once, the hype is justified.

We’ve still got months until her album hits stores on January 23rd, but until then we can continue maxing out on Blue Jeans, Diet Mountain Dew, Kinda Outta Luck and of course that wonderfully sublime Video Games. She’s now on Spotify too, so get adding her to that dreamy playlist already. *Lana Del Rey via The Telegraph*

…this DJ might just be my kindred spirit.

To wit:

Who’s your favourite band/artist at the moment?
I’m totally loving the new album of covers from Seal which is due to be released soon.

Favourite song from the 1990s?
Again, I’m gonna have to go for a top five as of today, as I constantly change my mind!

1. Ace Of Bass – Life is a Flower

2. All Saints – Under The Bridge

3. Wet Wet Wet – Goodnight Girl

4. Take That – Pray

5. Jamiroquai – Virtual Insanity

Anything else you would like to tell us?
Any ideas how I can get rid of this rash??

UPDATE: Crikey, he’s on Twitter. Here’s a sample of the real-life DJ Smashie:

Okay, so its not even 7 and I’m ready for bed! I’m turning into an old man! Pretty lame ehh?! lol ;-)

As I said, kindred spirits.
