To tackle unemployment, jobseekers should be offered a placement in a Dizzee Rascal video. Why can't Steve the engineer from Darlington feature in the brilliant tongue-in-cheek video for Dirtee Disco? Irene, psychology graduate from Stoke-on-Trent, could easily fit the role of a dancer. If it worked for One True Voice victim Daniel Pearce, who lays some too-smooth-for-the-dole-queue croons over the top of this typically Dizzee party-time rap, it could work for anyone.Slow Club – Giving Up On Love
With a barnstorming chorus from Rebecca Taylor, nonchalantly cool verses by Charles Watson and a video featuring comedy star Mackenzie Crook, it seems Slow Club have finally blossomed into a proper band. Giving Up On Love is the kind of thing that's earned the likes of Los Campesinos! success in the last couple of years (BBC 6Music loves it) and if they keep writing songs like this then their headline date at London's Koko on 1 June will be no big deal at all.
