well…

I haven’t posted for a while, and this is kind of a throw-away post, but I just watched this video on youtube and I don’t know what to think of it:

It’s some hot, upcoming band from the UK, The Horrors. On one hand, the video is pretty cool, and the song is interesting. However, it’s just… weird. I think I want to like the band, but at the same time they seem like total poseurs! They definitely have an image and a style they’re going for, kind of like if Tim Burton decided he want to artificially create a band. Also, the video is directed by Chris Cunningham, and he’s cool…. right? Plus, there is an awesome part where the lead singer is crouched down next to the keyboardist, and screaming and pointing. I think that part is awesome.

    I just read a review of their first album on allmusic.com and they said it was really good. Very campy, fun and frantic. They said “If you like what the Horrors do, then Strange House is an album that can never be loud enough”

    Now I think I wanna pick it up!

    They’re playing in Minneapolis on June 15th, I think. I’m really tempted to go and see what happens and how they sound live.
