We like that even in the face of potential major label success, Sia is still doing 'her thing'...

And yes, we are well aware that 90% of our recent posts have featured little to no text. We are not getting lazy. It's just a very busy time. Also a lot of the stuff we post speaks for itself, and presented without comment makes a refreshing change from our inane and irritating commentaries.

They'll be back before long, mark our words.

Oh Sia...

So here it is, Sia's cover of "Oh Father". Our feelings are still mixed on Sia - it's undeniable she makes great music and her voice is very interesting and different but something about her just... really grates on us. We're working on it!

"Oh Father" is a tricky one - it may be bold to say so but the production techniques possibly haven't aged well. Or maybe they have. We would struggle to accept many people covering it just because of what an unusual and landmark piece of music it was for Madonna, but Sia seems to do and alright job at it. Sorry about the sound quality 'btw', it's not the most elegant and shimmering.

S&N are late on something ace again, WORRA SURPRISE!

You can listen to 6 (SIX!) new tracks from Sia's forthcoming fourth studio album, We Are Born right here! You might already be familiar with one of them, "You've Changed". It was released for free downloadzzz (how now) last year and it's still as brill as it was then. The tracks available for listen are:

• "The Fight"
• "Clap Your Hands"
• "You've Changed"
• "Bring Night"
• "I'm In Here"
• "Big Girl, Little Girl"

"Bring Night" and "Clap Your Hands" are especially spectacular, so we've embedded them above, y'all. Enjoyness!

Is it just us or does this look like it would be worth attending?

It's not just us. More info here.

A delightful Sia video...

Sia is fun, fresh, humorous and self-deprecating. She also makes a mean and watchable music video. That's 'mean' as in fab, not as in cruel. Imagine a cruel music video? Would it berate you and your strongly held opinions? That, we'd (against our better judgement) like to see.

Fabulous and free!

1. Sia: fabulous.
2. This new song, "You've Changed": fabulous.
