The Heartbreaks - I Didn't Think It Would Hurt To Think Of You

A: The Heartbreaks
S: I Didn't Think It Would Hurt To Think Of You
C: I Didn't Think It Would Hurt To Think Of You - Single

More on great bands with great long song names we missed last year, let's take a trip to the British Seaside. I think they should have made the song title even longer. Anyway, The Heartbreaks are from Morecambe in Lancashire, which rated third in the book 'Crap Towns: The 50 Worst Places to Live in the UK'. Proving that, given the right environment, nothing is more artistically inspiring than the shitty side of shit.

Ramesh - The King

A: Ramesh
S: The King
C: The King - EP

Ramesh, which means 'singer' in persian, is the post-Voxtrot project by singer Ramesh (kind of makes sense, doesn't it). So, no video today but since yesterday's didn't exactly leave a big impression we'll just focus on the stunning little song this guy called Ramesh has recorded. Triumphant, yet fragile it proves that sometimes love isn't about being strong or stronger, but the ability to admit to be wrong.

The Boxer Rebellion - Flashing Red Light Means Go

A: The Boxer Rebellion
S: Flashing Red Light Means Go
C: Union

'Flashing Red Light Means Go' is a great song title, no? First of all the red has a strong message, secondly you get an instant picture in your mind. Talking bout pictures, how arty-farty-fantastically is that video. Has been directed by Grant Berry and Nick Tarte, so I read (not that I would know who they are). The video was created digitally, frame-by-frame, over an incredibly intense period of 4 weeks.

Darwin Deez - Bad Day

A: Darwin Deez
S: Bad Day
C: Darwin Deez

As I just figured out, I have posted Darwin Deez before, in August last year. Because I always forget who was hot and on, and who was not. Anyways, then when I discover that I have had a post of a certain artist or band before it is always so weird to read the stuff I wrote back then. It is kind of listening to your own voice on a tape recorder. Mean as mean can, enjoy: And I would like to be your girlfriend so I could dump you...

The Strokes - Under Cover Of Darkness

A: The Strokes
S: Under Cover Of Darkness
C: Angles

Well I guess this is it. The Strokes being back is almost as equally good and satisfying as world peace. Almost, of course. I'd like to think that it would be the perfect answer for any kinky hipster indie rock addict if they were asked what their biggest wish was - you know, like the Misses during a beauty contest. Then again, how indie can a band be when they were featured on a soundtrack like Marie Antoinette, no offense.

Pnau - The Truth

A: Pnau
S: The Truth

Next up, from Sydney in Australia (the country where some people don't do anything else than surfing, cruising and beaching) is dance music duo Pnau. Although I'm not really sure about the dance music, but Wikipedia told me so. Let's see if I get that right: Nick Littlemore for Pnau is the same Nick as in the band Empire for the sun. Apparently he has two other bands/side project but I'll stop before this gets properly confusing.

Radiohead - Lotus Flower

A: Radiohead
S: Lotus Flower
C: The King of Limbs

Funny, one of my work colleagues asked me yesterday: So is the new Radiohead album free as well? And we all know that the last one wasn't free but 'pay as much as you want' - not the same thing. Creedy bastards everywhere. Well, no harm done. Anyway, everybody else has posted the new Lady Gaga video already so I decided I wont. And quite frankly, I find Thom York to be the much more captivating and fascinating dancer than she is. But her video is ace, sure.
