The Picture Show - Knights, Monkeys and Guillemots

Now with added YouTube.

For some reason, Muse have decided to go with the decidedly dull "Starlight" as their next single here, and it has a decidedly dull video to match. The Americans, on the other hand, get "Knights Of Cydonia", and this:


Arctic Monkeys' indie status is worth something after all, allowing them to release a completely new single already with no sign of an accompanying album rerelease. The song itself is a decent tune let down by either a massive lyrical plot-hole or some shoddy and confusing writing (on which more later), but the video is rather good. See if you can spot the twist coming!:

(this one is slightly better quality but doesn't allow embedding. Oh and the guy at the end is in the band, apparently.)

Finally, in advance of the song being released again, probably with a new one, here's the tremendously cute old video to Guillemots' "Trains To Brazil":

Is her in the Artic Monkey's video the one who played the girlfriend in Shaun of the Dead?

I shockingly still haven't seen it, google says yes though.

Shocking indeed, I am part of the chorus that claims it is quite good.
