Shrag's new video for Devastating Bones is up today. A good ol' singalong glamrock stomper.
My review of their new album, Canines, here.
Unofficial videos for the lovely Chasing Consummations (featuring footage from Dreams That Money Can Buy that I've mentioned before in connection with The Real Tuesday Weld):
And the absolutely beautiful Jane With Dumbbells. One of the all-time great album closers, transporting you to its own magic-tinged world. "Its enormous yet delicate dreaminess sends one floating through prismatic rainy afternoons, staring out the window at hidden rainbows further obscured by the grey, while some other part of yourself slips off through soothing dreamspaces. Evoking a beauty both born of and counter to 'those toxic mornings, those saccharine days'"

The Real Tuesday Weld - You're Gonna Live...
Very pleased this video is finally up to watch! I first saw it at The Real Tuesday Weld's Halloween show last year (October 29th at the Westminster Reference Library, a great gig). Such a Lovely film, made by their bassist Don Brosnan, and the song itself is one of my all-time faves. As I said in my review of their The Last Werewolf:
There are few songs that actually manage to pull if off (to me, Pulp’s “Glory Days” is the prime example), to synthesize all of life’s seemingly conflicting components – ecstatic love and soulnumbing dejection, the wonder of being alive and the despair of also being so, the joy of hope and disappointment too bitter, along with every other possible feeling, realizing and transcending them in one huge triumphant YES! With such force behind it feeling like it could last forever. The Real Tuesday Weld have given us (for it is always a gift) their contribution to this elite canon with “You’re Gonna Live”.

The Real Tuesday Weld...
My interview with Stephen Coates of The Real Tuesday Weld is now up on godisinthetvzine. I'm very pleased with it. One of my favourite songwriters, he's written more than his fair share of timeless pop classics. I've mentioned Dreaming Of You and Daisies before, but here's a few more:
The Ugly & The Beautiful, one of my all-time faves. Just a wonderful song, really. Starts about 1:38 in:
The heartwrenching Over The Hillsides (live at Corsica Studios, 25th September 2008):
The life-affirming, dancing-past-the-dawn whimsy of The Show Must Go On:
And I just found this video for their version of Brazil, which was a pleasant surprise on the 2008 tour:
