ECHO & THE BUNNYMEN - "The Killing Moon"

Every time I hear the opening bars of this song, my stomach falls just like the feeling you get while riding a roller coaster...

ECHO AND THE BUNNYMEN - THE KILLING MOON

And it makes me feel sad.

JOY DIVISION - "Shadowplay"

This one goes out to Bob:



And is probably my favorite.

JOY DIVISION - "Atmosphere"

This one goes out to Bob:



Don't walk away...

NEW ORDER - "Ceremony"

Always good.



I can't think of a single New Order song I hate. Even after all this time.

DAVID BOWIE - "Ashes to Ashes"

I'm happy, hope you're happy too



Time and again I tell myself
I'll stay clean tonight.

I have had The Cramps for a long time

URGH! A Music War:



I will never forget seeing this for the first time, dreading Lux's perilous pants...

THE KILLS - "Black Balloon"

Cool song, pretty trite video.




Still, there's something about The Kills that draws me in...

TONES ON TAIL - "Rain"

Tones On Tail is quite possibly my third or fourth favorite band, yet they never really did music videos. It's hard to find something visual to go with their music, but this one might just be a good one:



It's hard to crush this feeling
Writing very long letters as soon as it rains

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.

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?

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...

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.

TOM WAITS - Down By Law footage

NOLA:



Tom Waits rules. That is all.

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.

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.

HORRORS - "She Is The New Thing"

More from the Horrors:



And HERE'S a somewhat better version.

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.

Uzh i ya li moloda, tonkopriaditsa byla

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



Pretty cool, no?

INTERPOL - "Slow Hands"

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