Urgh, I so desperately just want to be home in bed, but I have work to do. So, on with my linkage:

Lily Allen, when not completely coked up and trying to show everyone her va-jay-jay, sometimes sings. She has a new album coming out, It’s Not Me, It’s You, but here she is covering The Clash‘s “Straight to Hell” [Idolator]

If you are a fan of the Smashing Pumpkins, you would be pretty stupid to miss out on this giveaway for free t-shirts, eh? [Fuzzy Lion]

My homegirl Aura knows that my wife has a thing for John Legend. In her efforts to help me get booty, here’s his latest video for “Everybody Knows” [All That's Fab]

Here’s another contest, this time for some tickets to check out Dar Williams this Friday at Webster Hall in NYC. I just realized that she was on Razor & Tie. I know someone who works there… [The Music Slut]

If there’s a “band you should know”, Certain People I Know is among them. Don’t be a tool – go check them out now! [Sound As Language]
