it dosen’t get much better than scoring a century at Lords and having your name being engraved on the Honours board. Tamim Iqbal was clearly ecstatic and celebreated by running and then signalling for the honour. Well played.

Natsha Khan’s lead single off her second album ‘Two Suns‘ won Best Contemporary Song at the prestigious Ivor Novello Awards. The song wasn’t really commercially successful as such peaking at No.36 in the uk. However, its an amazing song and i love it nonetheless also the video is cool. Anothe big winner on the night was Lily Allen who won 3 awards!
Heres what Natasha had to say:
“Hello everyone… Wow!!! I am so thrilled and happy to have won an Ivor Novello award! The whole ceremony was really overwhelming with tons of great musicians, songwriters and composers gathered under one roof. I was soooo nervous, but managed not to cry until after I accepted my award.
I think this one means such a lot to me, because its about the craft of songwriting, which at times can be a maddening and terrifying thing to do, but equally joyous and liberating when you think you’ve cracked it. I couldn’t have believed after writing Daniel in my bedroom, dreaming about lost teenage love, that this would happen!
I just want to thank everyone who has supported me to get to this point… I am writing the new album right now and so excited to be creating a whole new world!! Cups of tea, piles of books and musical instruments abound. I am also making some short films which i hope to share with you at some point.
Stay happy and well, and please, if you can, make your vote online to save BBC 6Music. The deadline is approaching, we music lovers can’t afford to lose this radio station!
Love natasha “

I recently discovered this artist LIGHTS real name Valerie Anne Poxleitner, shes a 23 year old Canadian singer song-writer. First of all she is gorgeous. Secondly, she also seems to be quite creative through her videos and also comics on her site. According to her she makes ‘intergalactic-electro music’…nice
I really love the video and the fact that in a sense it has nothing to do with the lyrics. She just wonders around white surroundings painting everything with colour…poetic,beautiful, amazing. Also the video is shot using time lapse and all in one take as well. Still the words match up, which would have been quite difficult to do.
