Hello, nice to see you. How are you? Good? How lovely. I'll be on my way now then.

Sometimes its nice to read things that actually seem like a real person is saying them, rather than things that have just been edited to the point of being so watery and bland you can't find the opinion behind them. So that's the way I'm going with this blog. To the point. Sometimes amusingly so. Sometimes not. You'll have to judge for yourself, won't you?

Top 8 music videos (8 is a good number).


Get behind me, Satan.

Music video time lul. They're a bit strange, them music videos, cos they can either follow the theme of the song, of be completely different and give the song a whole new meaning, or sometimes taint it. So I have compiled a list of my favourite music videos, NME style. Except not really in any order, because I am not very good at decisions, so I'll just tell you when one is my particular favourite. Or something. Rah. Oh and just to warn you, this list may be rather RHCP based, cos lets face it, their videos are awesome. But yeah and stuff and things.

Nirvana - Heart Shaped Box

Foetuses and crucifixion -  who doesn't love them? God knows what was going on in Nirvana's head when this video was being thought up, but its still great and memorable.(I was going to do a star rating, but then realised it would probably be pretty pointless seeing as they will all be 5 stars cos this is a list of my favourite videos, but STOP SPOILING MY FUN.)

Red Hot Chili Peppers - By The Way

The Chilis are a part of that tiny group of bands that can do a really funny video and still look so freaking cool. If you watch nothing else of Anthony's kidnapping adventure, skip to the flare dance. You will not be disappointed. 

The Strokes - You Only Live Once


Am I the only one who cringes at their lovely white clothes being covered in that oil? No? Just me then. Not entirely sure whats going on in this one but I love it all the same. Feel sorry for the drummer, though.

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Californication


I WANT THIS GAME. Its so cool and original, I love how it reflects each different bandplayer's personalities. And yes, I do also want a giant dragon fly. Who doesn't?

Arcade Fire - The Suburbs


Clips taken from the film Scenes From The Suburbs and compiled into a music video, this video captures the mood of the song perfectly and I love it and that's all there is to it.

The White Stripes - Blue Orchid


Jack White is a genius. I love the feel to this video and everything about it, from its Alice in Wonderland atmosphere to the jerky black and whiteness. Funnily enough, whenever I talk to anyone about this video, they all go "oohh but I bet those heels killed"...

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - The Death of You and Me & AKA... What a Life!

And then this one... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6m03FUYaTM&feature=player_embedded (the thing didn't want to find the video sozlol).

The adventures of an american waitress being force fed a potion and kidnapped and various other unfortunate events is spread over two music videos, so that why I've done two. And its not that bad for her cos she ends up with Noel in the end, and he looks so freaking cool in those sunglasses. Oh and Russell Brand is a LEGEND.

That's it for now, but I might do another one of these later.

An extra song for you to enjoy and be happy about

Red Hot Chili Peppers - True Men Don't Kill Coyotes


From their first album, but still fucking brilliant. This is gunna be stuck in my head for a looonnnngg time.


Hey, I managed to only put three RHCP songs on here. I’m pretty impressed with myself.
