I don’t know much about Holy Ghost! so here are some official facts about this video that I have just made up.

3. There are bleeps and bloops.

5. It is quite long but doesn’t outstay [...]

26 Jul 2010Robyn – Hang With Me (Vimeo)
Here is the new video for Robyn’s new single. It’s really very good if you like Robyn and really very good if you don’t like Robyn. Sometimes that’s how music works.
The video feature some exciting “on the road” type footage of service stations, hotel rooms, coach seats and the like. [...]

21 Jul 2010Stars and Sons – Futureproof (Youtube)
Here is the new single by Brighton-based indie poppers Stars and Sons. This single is as good if not slightly better than the last one I wrote some words about, If It’s Good For Me. This one is slightly creepier and therefore slightly better.
Given that we all know triangles are [...]

19 Jul 2010Klaxons – Echoes
Here is the video for the new Klaxons song which is called Echoes. I will review it by comparing it to their illustrious back catalogue.

13 Jul 2010School Of Seven Bells – Windstorm (Youtube, audio only)
I don’t usually post stuff if it hasn’t got at least a few moving pictures to go with it, but I’m prepared to make an exception today.

12 Jul 2010Monarchy – Love Get Out Of My Way (Youtube)
Here is a song by London type electro duo Monarchy, who have secured the prestigious Monday slot on this blog by making a song that sounds a bit like the Scissor Sisters doing some Daft Punk covers. Which would have made a great new Scissor Sisters album actually, but [...]

10 Jul 2010Breakbot – Baby I’m Yours (Youtube)
I made this really rather outstanding track the Bitter Fingers Single of the Week in this week’s Pile of Promos, which you can (and should) read again. Now I’m posting the video though, and what a video it is!
Watercolours and dancing and there’s a pretty lady in there as well. [...]
