Everything Everything - MY KZ, YR BF

At first you think it's overproduced dance-pop, but then it suddenly becomes secretly complicated, traditional Manchester scene with lyrics like poetry. I'm not sure the video adds anything to the song:

And I wanna know what happened to your boyfriend
Cos he was looking at me like "woah..!"
Yeah right before the kitchen was a dustbowl
And tossing me the keys and I can't forget how
everything just coming through the windows
and half the street was under my nails
it's like we sitting in the Faraday cage,
when the lights all failed

I fly through the walls
all pieces colliding and i
see raymond apart
he'a a frowning now, wagging a finger at me
"boy!" his knees bend the other way and
"boy! boy!" are you guys together honey?
"b..b..boy!" oh but now i can't find his torso,
mmhmmhmm i guess you're separated ooh,
It's like I'm watching the A4 paper taking over the guillotine
Monica i just wanna know...ooh
It's like I'm watching the A4 paper taking over the guillotine

I agree, the video's not right. I wasn't really digging it until I tried closing my eyes for a second, and then it was a totally different song. Good stuff.

Edit: And now I am sad because they do not have an album I can consider purchasing. Three iTunes downloads seems to be all there is for now.

Mark-Almond Band -- The City

From the 70s after Jon Mark and Johnny Almond left John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers.

(I think they both played with Mayall and the Bluesbreakers the same time as Clapton in the mid-late 60s).

Yeah this Everything Everything is just breaking, and they should have an album out in the future. This is also the case with that Rox I enjoyed so much.

It's like they're running prog-era Genesis code under a Duran Duran UI.

Oh that Everything Everything one is excellent. Wonder if they took their name from the Underworld album. Would have been big on the scene round about when these guys were forming their musical tastes.

Talking of which....

Rox got to do a turn on Later with Jools Holland, so here's "My Baby Left Me" live. It's not soul, it's not pop, it's both - with a bit of funk thrown in for good measure. No lip synching needed, this chick can sing.

Oh My Sweet Carolina

On the CD Heartbreaker he does an amazing version of this song with Emmylou Harris

This song caught my attention when it popped up on one of my Pandora stations.
Apparently these guy sare very popular overseas. Again, how great is the trio format?
