10:02AM Jess McGuire | Have I mentioned on Defamer Australia how much I love Danish pop group Alphabeat? If I haven’t, then I’m sorry. I absolutely adore them, and if you love beautifully delivered pop tunes then you should seek them out. Anyway, they covered Aussie singer Sam Sparro’s hit Black And Gold on BBC Radio mid last year, and I thought you might like to have a listen. More »

12:33PM Jess McGuire | Goddammit, Musical Expat Community! If we can’t rely on you to steal America’s awards of note from under their very noses and help inspire a nation still longing for international approval, what in sam hell is the point of following your careers and constantly prefacing your name with an exceedingly affectionate ‘Our’ in every news article churned out about you?
Kylie Minogue, AC/DC, Keith Urban and Sam Sparro have been snubbed at the 51st Grammy Awards in Los Angeles. The Australian contingent failed to win awards at music’s version of the Oscars.
By the way, thanks for clearing up what the Grammys are, The ABC. More »

Sam Sparro Takes Time Out From Sledging, Festivaling, To Work With Lindsay Lohan
9:24AM Clem Bastow | After having a go at Madonna and then getting reasonably good reviews for his Glasto performance, expat Aussie Sam Sparro has decided it’s time to make the jump to plaid: he’s going to work with Lindsay “Remember, She Had A Career Once, You Know, Before She Made Leggings With Kneepads” Lohan.
No word on whether he will wear that ridiculous top hat while he’s doing it.
“Working with Lindsay is an interesting proposition. I’ve always been a big fan and I think she’s cool,” said Sparro, currently riding high on the music charts with his single Black and Gold.
“I’ve never met Samantha Ronson but I have met her dad and her sister Charlotte when I was working with Mark at Coachella. They are a great family.
“I’ll be heading over to Los Angeles and New York in a couple of weeks to start writing for Lindsay and a few other artists. I’m really excited.”
Well, there you go. Well done you, Sparro. It’s a pity his song is pretty much pants, otherwise I’d probably be more excited than I am about all this.
So, er, go Aussie!
ED: You know, there are times where Clem and yours truly don’t agree, and this looks like one of them. Although my beloved Bastow may hate Sam Sparro’s single, I wish to speak up and say I fucking love Black & Gold, and I am quite thrilled he’ll be working with Lindsay.
