He's so eccentric!� On December 11, the singer-songwriter (and former Test Icicles thrasher) known as Lightspeed Champion will take to the stage at London's BFI Southbank to play cover versions from the Cat Stevens-penned classic songs from the "Harold & Maude" film soundtrack, which Stevens worked on for the film's 1971 release.� The concert will take place directly after a screening of "Harold & Maude".

Lightspeed Champion has a new video for his song "Tell Me What It's Worth" which will be included on his future album, Falling Off The Lavender Bridge. Domino Records is releasing the album in January Lightspeed Champion - "Tell Me What It's Worth" Fader reported this about the new video:

"Midnight Surprise"
