WORLD PREMIERE VIDEO - KATE NASH



I am so excited to see Kate back with a brand new video. It's been some time since we have seen anything from Kate, but we no longer have to be kept waiting. Here she is with her new "Do Wah Doo" video.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT...



Ben Harper and Relentless 7 performed "Lay There and Hate Me" on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. I happened to be in the audience that day too! I had a friend in town and she wanted to check out the show.

It was cool to hear him live...he has such an amazing voice. It sucks they only perform one song, but nonetheless it was good.
