pinch myself 'cause too much is not enough

Tonight, we will look at a few new videos.
We'll start with Suede's It Starts And Ends With You. This starts off really Suede-y, and then gets weirdly...boy band. They get it back by the end, but it's a weird few minutes.
I like the video. It's kind of stripped down, but with funky lighting, and it works.  I'm not entirely sure that this is a return to Britpop, but they sound pretty damn good and, while I'm sure they have disappointed numerous fans, I doubt they hate themselves for this one.
So that's good.



The internet would like you to know that this video is "seedy". 
I've got a foetus on a leash. There are no foetuses in the music video for Nick Cave & The Bad Seed's Jubilee Street, but don't worry! It is classic, classic Nick Cave. The song and the video both, and you will love every minute of it. There's a bit at the end where the lightning starts and I think I may have purred. IT FITS SO WELL. The video gets 10/10, but I think I mostly adore the song. I am so excited for this album.
I feel like this should go without saying, but do not watch this video at work or anywhere that it would be inappropriate for someone to notice that you are looking at nude women.




Hey Marseilles released Bright Stars Burning just recently. Is it just me, or does it sound like old-school Death Cab? I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing (although probably not a good thing), it's just...a thing. As far as lyric videos go, I suppose this one is above-average in terms of both creativity and quality. There are bits - "you can go back home / but I'll never let go / you can just walk away / I won't leave you  alone" - that are very well done, and others (all the cycling backwards) that just are tired indie cliches.



Oh, man, I love this remix. I think it makes me nostalgic for the good bits of summer when I was a teenager. Ghost Beach is one of my current favourites, and this remix does them justice.
