The inimitable Foy Vance returns on December 18th with the release of the eagerly anticipated ‘Gabriel and the Vagabond’ backed by his sought-after classic ‘Indiscriminate Act of Kindness’ as a Double A Side single.
‘Gabriel and the Vagabond’ is a live favourite which has been bringing audiences to tears with its poignant lyrics about homelessness and its bluesy guitar licks and gospel tinged vocals. The song was featured in the cult ABC networked TV drama ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ in the US which generated an incredible audience response and demand for the track. The UK release of the single coincides with the UK broadcast of the relevant episode. The initial limited UK release of ‘Indiscriminate Act of Kindness’ (from sold-out ‘Live Sessions and the Birth of the Toilet Tour’ EP, August 05), created huge demand for the song to be re-released, especially after online audiences watched it performed live by Foy, accompanied by Pete Townshend and Martha Wainwright on Rachel Fuller’s ‘Attic Sessions’ gig at Joe’s Pub in New York in September. You can watch part of the show here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrWENWGu8c8
‘Indiscriminate Act of Kindness’ has also been chosen as the sound-bed of the forthcoming Great Ormond Street Hospital TV commercial for their Christmas appeal.
It has been an extremely busy year for Foy – shortly after recording songs for his acclaimed ‘Watermelon Oranges’ EP he joined Bonnie Raitt for 21 dates as a special guest on the European leg of her tour. A host of festival performances including Wireless and Oxegen followed along with an Irish tour. Now relocated in London Foy is about to embark on his first headline UK tour (PTO for dates).
A percentage of the proceeds from this single will be donated to a charity for young homeless people, Nightstop (www.nightstop-uk.org) and to Door of Hope (www.doorofhope.org.uk) – an organisation that helps individuals exit prostitution.

Video Question
Does anyone remember a video with (I think) Puff Daddy against a white cyclorama and he's in a big white puffy coat and there's a little kid dressed the same way breakdancing? Maybe with Lil' Kim or Missy Elliot? I'm going crazy trying to figure this out.

Quirky kooky sesame street effort with quite a catchy song to boot.

Amerie "Take Control" dir: Scott Franklin
Is this the most disjointed and incomprehensible narrative video this month? This year? Ever?
Wow. Amerie, who is so gorgeous it hurts, plays a micro-mini-skirted spy/assassin/mistress. Also involved, a senator, a fashion photo taking paparazzi with ponytail issues and a LINCOLN NAVIGATOR. Seriously I have no idea what is going on here. But she look damn good. With such a strong base to build from, this clip could have used a healthy dose of simplicity.
I could only find it on Youtube.
