I like the song. I like the video. I like the song title. I like the band name. What else do you want?

Broken Bells vid is a sexy beast

The newish (ancient in blog years) album from Broken Bells has been a fun, somewhat brief listen here at TDoL HQ. I do like “The Ghost Inside” (the handclaps!) … even though it sounds like a Gorillaz song. Read my two cents on the record here.

The sexy, new, big-production video (again, ancient in blog years) features what’s-her-name from Mad Men, which should get every red-blooded male in the world excited. I know I’m excited. Can’t you tell I’m excited?

Spoon me ni esrever

It’s funny, I used to lump Spoon in with bands like the Gin Blossoms … I don’t think anyone wants to be lumped in with the Gin Blossoms. My apologies, Mr. Daniel.

I put Britt Daniel more in the Jeff Tweedy school of making music that is beautiful and sometimes a little weird and cranky. Take the first single off the band’s latest Transference. “Written In Reverse” is sweet and spastic, and the video is in black and white and features a large mirror. And you know what? .smossolB niG eht ekil gnihton sdnuos tI
