love is noise

woohoo woohoo woohoo...big sound out of the verve on their new single. remix friendly. i don't really get the video though...seems like 4 vids they pieced together. new album, forth, out aug 19.




...and on the topic of the verve, go back and listen to 'a storm in heaven' sometime. the closing track - see you in the next one (have a good time) - is a favorite.

thunderheist

been listening to these guys a bunch of late. the vid that won the contest thunderheist put together for 'jerk it' is pretty hypnotic...and disturbing. directed by that go.




and go go go go on and give suenos dulces a listen...nice rework of sweet dreams

au revoir simone

ok - i like au revoir simone...great femme indiepop. it took me awhile to get into these girls, but the rac mix of 'sad song' got me convinced. i'm really digging the synths. put your wayfarers on and enjoy.


the video for 'sad song' is pretty solid too. directed by disposable television

and wikipedia tells me their name was inspired by pee wee's big adventure. love that.
