8 Bit Necrophilia



YOU LOVE HER COZ SHES DEAD are a band. From Bath apparently. They make shouty, bleepy noise and are good. It would also be lazy to talk about Crystal Castles in the same sentence, so we won't. Anyway...

They're coming to a town near me soon. Which I like.

Check this live version of Lions In Soho.



They've already won Best Electronica Act at the Indy Awards and made it on to a Kitsune Compilition.

They've even done some quality reworkings of Foals and Dizzee.

Not bad huh?

Skip to the beginning....

Do you ever wonder what your life would be like if you didn’t make all those stupid decisions that you did? Has everything you’ve ever done been a mistake? Ever wished you could go back and start over?
I’m not going anywhere with this by the way. Just a thought. One of those days.

Ah nostalgia.

So anyway. Here’s something from back in the day. The sadly missed and fondly remembered Grandaddy. Emotional n that.



And something likely to occupy my eardrums more recently. Also a total chooooon. Check this RMX of Purple Crush. Though you might want to disregard the vid. Bit odd.

OH MY GOD, IS THAT FRIENDLY FIRES? yes, yes it bloody well is

just as i thought today was the worst day of my life - 8hrs in the library is not fun, a little, well a massive ray of hope was thrown my way, when i saw friendly fires sitting on a bench outside uni, knowing that the only words that could come out my mouth were "OH MY GOD I ACUTALLY LOVE YOU!" i decided not enter into a conversation with words, but rather with eyes, best... conversation... ever.

i am a fangirl, i can't help it, but this isn't infatuation, its love. just for ed though, lovely ed and his awesome dancing...ahhh back to revision i guess :(

Daisy's Dream Team directors: team STUSH

I've always been into music video and their directors, always been more interested in them than films. I'm a big fan of vetran directors Michel Gondry (best vid: Fell in love with a girl - The White Stripes) and Spike Jonze (best vid: Y Control - YYY's) but its the 'new' kids on the block team STUSH that have got me really excited.

team STUSH are a collective of super-talented directors based in London, their videos are exciting and different. They've done videos for Good Shoes, Klaxons, To My Boy, The Noisettes, The Young Knives, SMD, Foals to name but a few. The collective includes the incredible Saam Farahmand, Ollie Evans, Chris Cairns, Dan Lowe and Anthony Dickenson. As tempting as it is to fill this post with every single video they've done i'm just gonna pick my favourite favourites.
