Music @ Videos
Yee to the haw, it doth be Friday once more. A propos of nothing, I have just finished watching the HBO mini-series on the invasion of Iraq Generation Kill. As an offering, it is a bit of a mixed bag, but there are still some great characters featured in it and it seems like a genuine attempt to represent the thoughts and feelings of the men on the front-line. Do expect much more sitting around in camp and driving about in Humvees than all-out action though! Also, give the Iceman his own spin-off series!
Moving on to the music, Shearwater are meant to be back in early 2010 with their latest album. They really are a marvellous band and you can get a taster for what they have in mind below. Why?’s Eskimo Snow may not have made the same impact this year as Alopecia did last year. However, I really love the song These Hands and the video below is the perfect accompaniment to it.
Also featuring are (new-to-me) Headlights and Prairie Cat, the well-established Califone, and a song from Simian Mobile Disco that features Beth Ditto on vocals.
