New Shakespears Sister video: 'Someone Else's Girl'

Check out the beautiful new video for 'Someone Else's Girl' from the 'Songs From The Red Room' deluxe edition. So simplistic, yet artistic at the same time and Siobhan has never looked more natural and stylish. Let's hope this materialises into a single release at some point!!!

Bananarama - 'More More More' (Live at the Disney Club)



It's all gone a bit quiet on the Bananarama front but if you're missing your share of Sara and Keren feast your eyes on this rare TV performance of their cover of Andrea True Connection's 'More More More' from the 1993 'Please Yourself' album.

An underrated Nana classic... and what about the dance routine?! Check out that hip-swinging action!!!
