Kanye West presented his first fashion collection in Lycé Henri IV in Paris (The best school in Paris, France?). It’s funny for someone whose 1st music album was called “College Drop-out”.

Spotify is a new Streaming service to listen to music. There are 3 options available (Free, 0.99 € day pass, or 9.99 € for a monthly subscription). For the free option, a Beta invite is normally required but it’s possible to register to the service straight away through this link. I came across this service thanks to this exellent blog called AccessOWeb.
I’m testing the service and I find it very good. Moreover most of the tracks of my favorite album (‘Instant Vintage’ by Raphael Saadiq) are available. Here are some screens:

The second single from overpowered. It sounds like a "nineties" song.

Here is the first single from Roisin Murphy (former MOLOKO’s singer) new album Overpowered. It’s disco-pop at its best. There is a review from pitchforkmedia here.
