The Danish singer-songwriter is best known in the UK

Sacre Coeur is the powerfully moving first release from Tina Dico’s new
album (Count To Ten) due out in early February. A tale of lost and
found souls under a Parisienne sunset, Dico effects the listener with a
subtle, simple, yet beautiful force. Built over a gentle back beat and
a wistful piano, it rises into each chorus with passion and
sensitivity. The chorus becoming an ever forceful hook with each play.







The Danish singer-songwriter is best known in the UK for her
collaborations with trip hop guru’s, Zero 7. In her native Denmark,
however, she is known and respected in her own right, with a clutch of
Danish music awards

Earlier this week, proud dad Joel revealed his new baby looked just
like her mother. Joel wrote on his web blog: "I am finally home with my
beautiful girlfriend and our brand new little daughter. "She looks so
much like her mom its crazy! She eats like a little maniac and she's
really sweet. She barely ever cries, even when daddy is changing her
diaper, and believe me I suck when it comes to diapers, but I'm
learning!"

Аffair with £10,000 worth of damage being done

They’ve been working on their debut album their whole lives. 'It’s a
concept album which covers a weekend. The storyline runs all the way
from meeting a guy on a Friday night right up until the hangover hits
on the Sunday!' explains Tammy.
'It’s like the soundtrack to our
lives and it’s all about the things that we do,' continues Kally, 'we
love doing things like going shopping on a Saturday afternoon,getting
ready to go out for the evening and go mental. We know other people our
age will be able to identify with it.'

The girls recently shot
their debut video in their managers house and the extras were invited
to appear via the girls MySpace site. The day turned into a raucous
affair with £10,000 worth of damage being done to the house that was
used.

'I Don’t Like The Vibe In The VIP' is set for release on
December 31st - featuring remixes from Jack Rokka, Slips and DN - and
will soon be filling dance floors from Hackney to Hull. And if you’ve
been searching for a new soundtrack to your weekend, fear not, because
it’s on its way.

NMA remain underpinned by a driving rhythm

NMA remain underpinned by a driving rhythm section. The relatively
recent arrival of Michael Gill on guitar adds a harder rocky edge to
the sound as a whole. The 'folky’ elements of harmonica or fiddle on
'Poison Street' and 'Vagabonds' were replaced with lead guitar, and it
worked great, lending to an adrenalin fuelled set. A couple of encores
and I was glad that they included amongst them 'No Rest' which is
fantastic (great bass line!) And how better to finish the night and
ease the atmosphere than to end with 'Green and Grey' which still tugs
at the heart.

Standing amongst fellow NMA devotees, with my
own arms raised and united in song, sharing my own 'sacred moments'
with friends, it’s easy to loose objectivity and simply say the gig was
brilliant. Five stars! What more could I want than to be singing my
heart and lungs out to songs that I actually believe in? But I guess
Justin and the boys would be more analytical and critical of their
performance tonight. After all, they’re the professionals making a
living out of this. But where I was standing I honestly didn’t find too
much to be critical about! (Except, maybe, squeeze in a couple off
'Vengeance' next time. Oh, go on, it’s Christmas.)

MSCI to the U.S. market

MSCI to the U.S. market was 0.438 from December 1992
through July 1998. Since then the average has jumped 66 percent
to 0.725, almost the exact same increase in correlations, in percentage
terms, seen in developed stock markets. Since May of
2005, 14 emerging stock markets, including the largest, South
Korea, have registered their highest correlation levels ever compared
to the United States.
In the case of both developed and emerging markets, some of
the change is explained by big moves in dominant countries in
each category.
