Well good for them. The video for Stylo was featured a week ago on Fucking Awesome Friday, and now it has a record for "most successful music videoto debut on the file sharing website". Coincidence? I think not.
If you haven't seen the video, check it out, NOW! If you haven't heard the album, you are doing yourself a disservice. Its out now on at all the usual places.
What can I say..this Irish punk band just makes me want to pick up a fifth of Knob CreekJameson and start chugging. What is not to like? It has pirates. Its an awesome video. It inspires drinking. It makes me laugh. It doesn't have ninjas.
Because I love you all so much, I have to share with you the future of music. This band, Xe-NONE has relealed a song called Angels that is indescribable, but I'll try anyway. Take the Generic Guitar Riff #2, add Generic Techo Beat #1, Basic Drumline #3, a "growling" singer and a europop wanna be idol and mix them together.
I didn't post a FAF last week, but that's because I had nothing of the quality normally available for your FAF to post. However, I found both of these FAF worthy videos this week: hence you have a doubleshot to make up for it!
First up: i09 has a great write up about the upcoming new Gorillaz album, including the new CG video with special cameo.Unfortunately.. Embeding has been disabled. Boo. Hit the link for the video
Not at all least: OK Go - This Too Shall Pass is a single-shot Rube Goldberg device timed to the lyrics and "rythm" of the song.
OK GO have really embraced the single-shot off-beat videos and made it their own style. YOU GO OK GO!!
