The Wonder Stuff
—We Hold Each Other Up
The Wonder Stuff - Suspended by Stars
One of my favourite songs of the last decade, I think.
Lisa Hannigan - Knots (by lisahannigan)
Endearingly chaotic. I’ve seen this done lots in static shoots, but never in a video.
Also, very much looking forward to this album - I’ve been a fan of Lisa Hannigan since her work with Damien Rice.
Diego Stocco - Music From A Dry Cleaner
Don’t hold back, just push things forward (by Ithaca Audio)
Mindblowingly excellent mashup (via @KingMobUK)
A beautiful, sad video for Because the Origami by 8in8 (Video by Ben Jacobson).
Ben explains:
This song was written and recorded by 8in8 one night a couple of weeks ago - music.amandapalmer.net/album/nighty-night - Written by Neil Gaiman, Performed by Ben Folds and Amanda Palmer.
They released it under a CC license in the hope that people would make videos for the tracks. We loved this song so much that we were inspired to make this fan video - it just took a while getting the correct props together. Hope you enjoy it - we had so much fun making it.
One for the musos.

K's Choice
—Virgin State Of Mind
K’s Choice - Virgin State of Mind
This song carries a lot of memories for me for some reason. Some of them, true, are of the Buffy episode Doppelgangland, others are of moving in with my then girlfriend, now wife, Sarah for the first time and watching said episode on BBC 2.
The Levellers, One Way, Glastonbury
I’ve never been to Glastonbury (well, not the festival anyway). If I could go for any act, this would have been it.

Florence and the Machine
—Addicted To Love
Florence and the Machine - ‘Addicted To Love’ (Robert Palmer cover.) I wasn’t able to find a purchasable download of this amazing track anywhere, but here’s a cup and saucer set.
Yet another reason that this band are so high on my playlist recently.
For me, art has never been something done out of a sense of duty. It is something I do because it is really fun, exciting, and interesting.
—John Frusciante
