I recently went to the NME Big Gig at the O2 in London and the highlight and surprise for me at the show was how amazing Bloc Party were. The Prayer was amazing live and I am sure its not going to be everyone’s taste but none the less I recommended you check Bloc Party out and enjoy there awesome beats and sounds.

MTV has partnered with MySpace Random Report to search for a brand new presenter to host MTV News.

One lucky punter will be plucked from obscurity to follow in the footsteps of ex-presenters Cat Deeley, Edith Bowman, Russell Brand, Alex Zane, Trevor Nelson and Kelly Brook – all of whom started their careers at the MTV studios in Camden. The successful candidate will get to present daily bulletins across MTV ONE, MTV Hits, TMF, MTV Base and VH1, and will have the chance to travel the world and brush shoulders with A list stars like Justin Timberlake, 50 Cent and Cameron Diaz.

How to audition:

Shoot a short video of yourself presenting to camera and upload your screen test to the Random Report page on MySpace by December 21st. MTV is going to sift through all of the videos and invite the best candidates to London to audition for the fulltime position. You don’t need any experience. MTV is just asking that you’re fun and won’t be fazed by interviewing some of the world’s biggest stars from the film, music and entertainment world.

Learn those moves boys and girls or you will feel left out when you hit the clubs. This song has just blown up and is everywhere simply because there is a hunt for people to learn the moves, show off their moves and post the video to prove you can do it.

One thing I loved about New York was seeing all the breakdancers in the Subway stations. However breakdancing on the tube was something I never thought off but this kids make it look easy. Remember this is a moving train.

Have you heard of Reggie Watts before? This is the first I have come across and can not wait to check out more of his work. How hot is this video considering it was not manipulated by any editing. Just wait till he gets into the slow motion flow.. simply incredible.

All you UK Hip Hop lovers or even doubters out there check out the Format Interview with Kano. Kano is 22 year old rapper from London who is making a name for him self in the UK urban music scene and is even being recognised by some of the big international players such as Jay-Z, RZA, Andre 3000. Kano featured with Craig David on the hit tune “This is the girl” (video above) but “.P’s And Q’s” (video below) is the tune that really made Kano stand out to me.

Just came across a cool new site, VIMBY, through Vinyl Abuse and can not wait to explore deeper into the content

What is VIMBY???
VIMBY (VideoInMyBackYard) is a video content site devoted to capturing young lifestyle and culture all over the nation. Through calendars, blogs, message boards and personal profiles, VIMBY is connecting young people to others in their backyard who share their passions.

M.C. Hammer is launching his own website and before you have a laugh its is actually looking quite good. With partners Geoffrey Arone and Anthony Young who are behind flock and with an investment of 1 million dollars its looks as though DanceJam could be a winner. Think of this as a niche YouTube for those of you that hate searching for good dance videos on the major video sites. There will be face-off section which will find the best dancers for different styles… A very very cool idea in my opinion. It is currently in beta testing and you can get an invite through Techcrunch if your interested.

I just do not understand how it is possible to do 2 beats at once while beatboxing. This French guy gets it just right and you got to love the laugh at the end.
