kooky monster

Watch The Kooks' video for Eddie's Gun (or once again follow my lead and just listen)

Maybe I'm just over the visual that accompany singles, but I find I would rather listen to the music than have to watch a video that goes with the music. I find my self falling for The Kooks' Eddie's Gun, but I'm a bit bored with the promo video. They're from Brighton, they're on Virgin, they've got a plush site; what else does one need to know?

ps. Here's a free download of their song Do You Love Her, but you've got to give some personal info to get it, and I'm not down with that kids so I haven't heard it yet.

this is the London scene(repeat again)

Watch Twisted Charm's The London Scene(actually just listen to it)

Finally, Finally Twisted Charm's The London Scene is getting released -mind you'll have to wait another month to get you hands on it, but you can watch the video for it now on the band's site.
I don't know what it is about indie bands and photocopy machines, but for some reason they all way to put one in their videos (are you boys trying to make some sort of a statement?). To tell the truth I prefer The London Scene without the video, perhaps because the whole animation on the flyer reminds me way too much of that horrendous Razorlight video for Vice (mind I'm not that keen on the song). I can't put my finger on it, but there's something about it that irks me and reminds me of the Pink Grease video for Fever too.
Anyway, take my advice, close your eyes and just listen to The London Scene because the visual just doesn't do the song justice.

take my sh-sh-shoes off

The Futureheads- Hounds of Love Phone's remix *
click right and "Save Target As" *note, this download actually works now *ok NOW it really works, yousendit finally decided to play nice. 7 days 25 downloads, the usual drill.

Who doesn't like The Futureheads? Who doesn't like Phones? OK, so I know a few, but in celebration of a pairing only to be topped by cheese and wine here's the Phones' remix of that lovely little number called 'Hounds of Love."*


*OK, there's no celebration, I'm just testing a new method of putting mp3s up.

oh it's an English summer

Constable, so this is an English Summer?
Hear 'An English County Garden' by Captain Grumblewart And The Cockney Rebel.

Sadly since I've taken leave of Chapel Hill for the summer I haven't kept up with the perpetual contest of Christian O'Connell's breakfast show contest. The latest seems to involve creating a summer hit about, well, Summer. Brazen enough to enter here are the rules. contest ends June 24th. My personal favorite would have to be 'An English County Garden' by Captain Grumblewart And The Cockney Rebel. Maybe it's all those Jane Austin novels and Libertines' song that built up this cute little idyllic English Summer in my head, oh we'll see how a fair this time next year in Brighton. Jane Austin's heroine Laddie Bennet and I shall be sea-bathing in Brighton, apparently tis a jolly good time.

Andrew Aveiling feat.Peter Doherty - Their Way part 1

Something about a lazy guitar sums up summer for me. I've swaying to the gentle melody of Andrew Aveling and Peter Doherty's 'Their Way part 1' for a month of so now and it's dancing gleefully around in my head. I've yousent(ed)it so the typical drill seven day 25 download, something to futher beautify June.
