Warning! He drops the F-bomb at the beginning of this video, like some mad pirate!
This is unfortunate, because the beginning incoherent rant does not fit with the sweet song inside.
Last week, I mentioned my newfound interest in UK rappers. Roots Manuva is one of the ones I like the most. Some of his songs are grimey (like the wicked fun 'Buff Nuff'), but this one really stands out. It's soft, a little electro, and he sings along with the rapping.
Ever more bouncy, no need to re-announce me.

Song in the Cell 090821: Dizzee Rascal - Dance Wiv Me
This week's Song in the Cell is:
Dizzee Rascal - Dance Wiv Me (feat Calvin Harris & Chrome)

I have a sad confession to make.
I was pulled into this song by a "So you think you can dance, Canada" commercial.
It's true. I almost didn't want to like it, on principle. It got stuck in my head. Then Joe says "I'm pretty sure that's Dizzee Rascal", and it made everything alright. He's cool, right? Much cooler than Pussycat Dolls (who were featured in a previous commercial for the aforementioned TV show).
Not sure what it is, but I really like British rappers. It's something about the mix of accents, the lingo (different from North American rappers... maybe they smush in a bit of Cockney Rhyming Slang? Not sure). Dizzee Rascal is one of those rappers that just sound super cool to me. I'm never quite sure what he's saying - and maybe that's a good thing.
I suppose I should have put up some Roots Manuva, since I've been listening to him a little bit longer. I put up this particular song, because it's been stuck in my head for the last few weeks. The silly thing is that this song is over a year old already! Wake up, girl!!
Whatever. I like it, and this is my cell.

OK, so you already know I love Bat for Lashes. That, and the summer seems to be getting away from me, and only the odd new video has been catching my attention.
Another lovely video for a lovely song... that they also performed live on Jimmy Fallon recently!
