Take me Back to Your House by Basement Jaxx

I really like this video and song! I just read an interview with Basement Jaxx in Chart online (Canadian music magazine which i get in my inbox to keep me somewhat up to date on the canadian music scene, since dear reader i am a Canadian and living in England) So Cossack dancers banjo playing giant mandolins with people inside and lots of bears make this video great.. but who is this singer? i am very curious now, i know she is canadian, i have never heard of her and here she is co-writing and featured in a BJ song? i am very curious how it happened.. anyone?
watching it again i think she looks so familiar.. also the melody is familiar.. the line ‘take me home’ there is another kind of dancey song that i cant put my finger on with the same melody but the lyrics ‘get in the zone’ is it Britney? might be that Britney and Madonna song..?
its going to drive me crazy.

magic time with coloured construction paper..

this is such a sweet video for the band lullatone that i found while browsing the audio dregs record label site.. they fittingly call themselves pajama pop and are from Japan..

it also plays right into my interest/burgeoning obsession for stop frame animation.. and makes me think of being 5 and under, the intense creativity i poured through blunt orange plastic scissors onto coloured construction paper.. the masterpieces i was sure i was making.. i do vividly remember the frustration i felt with those very limiting scissors at that time..
