Is anybody else out there as obsessed as I am with Madonna's daughter's blog? Little Lourdes Leon has been giving us a regular peek into her life, developing Material Girl clothing line and, my favorite part, her favorite bands.
So far, she's blogged about hitting up a Jay-Z concert with Mama Madge and given props to Nikki and Rich, Muse, Florence and the Machine, and Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, who've produced one of my fave discs of the summer so far.
And here's the video for one of the best tracks, "Paris," which just premiered exclusively on Hulu. The Vermont-based quintet recently played the song on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and you can hear them do their thing live in a city near you. Here are the tour dates and visit gracepotter.com for more info!
