Tes oignons!

Salade Tomates Oignons (Yuksek Remix) from Lionel Hirlé on Vimeo.

Reminds me of that Pony Pony Run Run vid, and I sort of like it. 

There are no words for this.

Some of the most interesting video content, well, interesting is pretty lame, some of the most bizarre yet amazing video content produced this year comes from Empire of the Sun with their live broadcast of the solar eclipse a few weeks ago, and now their new video for 4th single off one of NMB's favourite albums of last year Walking on a Dream. Here's Without You.. (oh and the single mix is MUCH better than the album version. So well done. But 3m34s? Really? What happened to 5m00s?)

Analogue can be sexy too. Awesome tune, awesome video, enjoy...

The tune is a little bit ALL UP IN DA CLUUB for me, especially after Yeah Boy, but this video is da nutz. innit.

More pretty colours

Best editing you'll see for a while, and somewhat more interesting than the stop motion stuff that's been taking over the internet the last couple of months. Check out audio for the high quality mp3.

Look at all the pretty colours!

“Music doesn’t care” – not much is known about Hecuba, I like this. So much so I’m not even going to bother finding out about their history or telling you what I think they sound like. I don’t want to see them doing acoustic covers of other bands. I don’t want to see videos of their rehearsals. I don’t want to read a dry press release about their influences and/or contemporaries. I want to watch this video again and again, buy their music, see them live, maybe even get a t-shirt.

Check this and say it doesn’t make you feel strangely and perfectly aroused. Word.



Hecuba is currently on a west coast tour of the states supporting Bat for Lashes so just jet over and see them, let them know I sent you. I just got back from LA actually, not bad over there. That’s a lie, the first part of that’s a lie anyway, I just got back from Chelmsford. Same same.
