Friday Tunes

FT was noticeably absent last week. Were we MIA out of respect to the almighty - hmmm perhaps, but more likely it's because we're lazy, and when we get a day off, we take it!!!

So, in order to make amends for disappointing you all last week, I bring you not 1, but 2 Friday Tunes - gees we're generous.

Firstly, indie-funk wet dreams The Paper Scissors have just released their new single 'The Bandit', and already it's getting people a bit hot and bothered. Is it because of the near-naked man in the film clip, maybe, but more likely it's because this is a slammin' good tune.

They're soon to be on the road with bluejuice for a tour that some are claiming will be the biggest thing since Ben Hur. The tour kicks off in Adelaide in just two weeks time, so to get you in the mood check out this clip out:


The second track comes from old-faves QOTSA. I'm off to V Fest down the Gold Coast on Sunday, and these desert rockers are sure to be a treat. My girlfriend saw them last night in Brisbane and said they were amazing.

This is one of their older tracks, but it's a goodie:


Nate out.

Friday Tunes

Hi cyber music afficionados,

Paul here again for another ripping installment of this week Friday Tunes! Swashbuckling, I know...

Todays theme will be awesome clips by artists who should probably run for leaders of countries, lets just say they have my vote!

First up is the very cool animated clip for Melbourne band Skipping Girl Vinegar. I know we have spoken of these guys before, but they will be dropping their brand new album really soon ( I have had a sneakly little listen and between you and me, it hot!) and i thought i should just re-iterate why they are just that good!

The clip is for the track 'One Chance' which you would have no doubt heard on the wireless, that is unless of course you have had your ears filled with brocolli and tarzans grip glue.

The One Chance clip was actually made by the Skipping Girl Vinegar vocalist/guitarist/daredevil pilot Mark Lang. Now I know what you are thinking, anyone can make a clip with a camera phone, walkman and a small painted woodern duck... Well this is true but, check the clip out and you will see just the lengths Mark has gone to, fantastic!



The second clip here is from my all time favorite artist Tom Waits. The Track is called "Gods Away on Business". Anyone who can incorporate emus into a film clip deserves all the accolades one can give!

Have a great weekend and enjoy!

Friday Tunes

We haven't blogged this week, to be honest we've been crazy busy working. A bit sad really, this blog is something we've been wanting to spend more time on, but as is often the case work gets in the way.

So this week for Friday Tunes we bring you Radiohead's Scotch Mist. It's epic, coming in at 52-odd minutes, and features Thom York and co. performing the entireity of 'In Rainbows', in what appears to be a small rehearsal space.

This video is pretty amazing, not only for the music, but for the fact that they've released something so candid and complete for free - but that seems to be the norm for Radiohead as of late. We've had 'In Rainbows' on high-rotation all this week, it's been serving to keep us sane.

So without futher adu, the Radiohead film Scotch Mist (you might want to get comfy before pressing play, it'd be a shame to press pause halfway through).
