27 Jul 2010Holy Ghost! – I Know, I Hear (Youtube)
I don’t know much about Holy Ghost! so here are some official facts about this video that I have just made up.
1. It’s in black and white.
2. It has handclaps.
3. There are bleeps and bloops.
4. There’s some serious drum action involved.
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.
Klaxons songs it is a bit better than:
It’s Not Over Yet
Magick
Klaxons songs it is a bit worse than:
Atlantis To Interzone
Golden Skans
Gravity’s Rainbow
Totem On The Timeline
So somewhere nearer the bottom [...]

15 Jul 2010Architecture In Helsinki – That Beep (Youtube)
One thing you can take for granted when it comes to music these days – if a band has a place in their name, they probably don’t come from there. Egyptian Hip Hop are from Manchester, Le Corps De Mince Françoise are from Finland. and avant-garde indie poppers Architecture [...]

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. [...]

7 Jul 2010!!! – AM/FM (Youtube)
Here is a video for the new !!! track that is:
a) quite good
b) a bit headache inducing when you’ve had a few pints
It also looks quite a lot like one of my projects for my City and Guilds certificate in Media Production. I got a Merit on that, I’ll have you know!

3 Jul 2010Mark Ronson & The Business Intl – Bang Bang Bang (Youtube)
Christ alive. That was a bit special, wasn’t it? Skip past the whole Japanese talk show shtick and the admittedly pretty damn cool Transformers-esque bit and you’ve got a very listenable synth pop track indeed. It’s got Q-Tip on it, for crying out loud, and [...]

1 Jul 2010Two Door Cinema Club – Come Back Home (Youtube)
I may be one of the few people who think that Two Door Cinema Club’s album Tourist History is literally quite good, but I’m happy to stick to that because it is. That said, I’m not entirely sure why they’ve chosen to release this slice instead of [...]
