PHANTOM/GHOST - "Relax, It's Only a Ghost"

This one reminded me Bauhaus, with overtomes of "Mongoloid" by DEVO...



But that could be just me.

THE STRANGLERS - "Golden Brown"

From the absolutely uncategorizable STRANGLERS:



Great use of harpsichord.

DAVID BOWIE - "Heroes"

Nothing left to say:



Thanks, NOHANDSMOM, that was completely awesome. Sometimes I swim like dolphins they swim. We can be heroes just for one day.

LYKKE LI - "I'm Good, I'm Gone"

Mesmerising:



Compellingly weird person.

Santogold - "L.E.S. Artistes"

WOW! Great tune, weirdass shit! Love it!



Yep, right up my alley! Love her voice. Does it sound '80s to you?

ECHO & the BUNNYMEN - "Lips Like Sugar"

This song also makes me sad:



But there is redemption. Plus those damn lips.

ECHO & the BUNNYMEN- "The Killing Moon"

This song always makes me feel incredibly sad:



Still does.

GREG HAWKES & TIM MANN (NEW CARS) - "Moving In Stereo"

Greatest version of this song EVER! On ukulele!



HERE'S the clean version.

And HERE's the NEW CARS' website.

TOM WAITS - Down By Law footage

NOLA:



Tom Waits rules. That is all.

LOVE LIKE FIRE - "I Will"

For some reason I really liked this:



Maybe her vocals? Oh, and HERE'S a better version that takes entirely too long to load.

GRANDADDY - "Jed's Other Poem"

This is one of the first videos I found in my internet prowls... it's simply amazing.

That's all programmed into an old Apple-II I think. That means nothing to you young fucks. I really like how the source code rolls at the end...

DEBBIE HARRY & KERMIT THE FROG - "Rainbow Connection"

There's something about Debbie Harry that I find attractive... maybe it's that coke-addled vulnerability...



And the frog's pretty hot too.

The NATIONAL - "Apartment Story"

I thought this one was just beautifully choreographed to look effortless. Check it out:



Though as a friend asked "Do you know how hard it is to get actors to look like they're just chatting like normal people?"

HERE is the nice version... well worth watching this one.

Uzh i ya li moloda, tonkopriaditsa byla

If you've never seen a hurdy-gurdy, here you go:



Pretty cool, no?

HORRORS - "She Is The New Thing"

More from the Horrors:



And HERE'S a somewhat better version.

INTERPOL - "Slow Hands"

I really like this band, mostly for the vocals. Check it:
