We're only three days into August, and it's already proving to be a fab month in the wonderful world of music videos. Catch what's good this week!

We bring you the latest haps this week in the wonderful world of @Twitter.

In today's roundup, we have exclusive album art previews and single release news from artists including Ellie Goulding, Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, and more.

Bryanboy, Rumi, and Elin collaborate on a new fashion site.

This week, some of the artists we follow on Twitter were a little exasperated--they tweeted about packing woes, getting songs stuck in their heads, and figuring out what to tweet next. Read on to see what we mean:

British pop star Ellie Goulding talks to Leigh Belz about hitting the top of the charts in the U.K. and starting fresh in the U.S.

Your faithful music blogger loves hearing live or acoustic versions of her favorite songs, so I was doubly excited to hear that two of my favorite artists Ellie Goulding and Natalia Kills had live tracks featured on Cherrytree's compilation, The Cherrytree House Sessions, along with other amazing artists like Robyn, Kelis, Feist, Far East Movement and Keane.

This week our favorite artists got back on stage, finished wrapping music videos, ran late thanks to traffic, and finally joined Twitter.

This week our top artists tweeted about their favorite tourmates, musicians who inspire them, and their feelings about making music. Here are the ones we liked best.

NYC's Webster Hall was packed last night, as hundreds of fans gathered to hear buzzy English songwriter Ellie Goulding. To start the night, The Knocks, an NYC-based electro/mashup duo, opened the show with a set that got everyone dancing. Then, hot off the heels of her rockin' SXSW performance, Goulding did not disappoint. Clad in a kitschy mesh see-through leotard with strategically placed hands, a bandleader's jacket that was a mix of Balmain and MJ, plus a pair of rocker-chic booties, Ellie looked and sounded like a seasoned veteran. She seemed at ease and totally in control, alternately playing guitar, rocking the drums, and dancing around the stage.

On Friday March 18th, the sun was shining in Austin, Texas and the bands were bringing A-game performances.

International Women's Day has been observed on March 8 since 1911--making today the 100th annual celebration. So it only makes sense that today on Music Blogger, we post a playlist of songs from some of our very favorite female artists (or girl-fronted bands). Here's the mix we're listening to:

It's Friday and time for our top music tweets of the week. This week's artists shared some words of wisdom and random tidbits. Check 'em out.

Currently on repeat: Willow Smith's "Whip My Hair," which absolutely makes my 9-year-old self feel lame in retrospect.

Another fun--if bizarre--mix in this week's tweets: two third of the Jo Bro's have minds running wild, Mariah Carey's a compassionate employer, and Sia's been watching the Real Housewives.  Profound thoughts all around...@cocknbullkidThe blind...
