Vendredi 13

C'est Vendredi 13 aujourd'hui, alors la guigne serait supposée s'abattre sur moi, mais jusqu'ici ça va bien. J'ai reçu mon colis d'Amazon (j'avais un bon d'achat gracieuseté de mes beaux-parents pour ma fête). Je suis en train d'écouter Waterloo to Anywhere, l'album de Dirty Pretty Things. Je suis donc un homme heureux.

Dirty Pretty Things: Deadwood

I just thought I would give you a bit more music, something a bit better and more substantial than the previous entry. So here is, in another genre, the official videoclip Deadwood by Dirty Pretty Things (I can't get wrong with that):

Bang Bang, You're Dead

My wife says I am conservative when it comes to music, and it's absolutely true. I don't like much of the modern stuff, music production could have stopped after Pink Floyd and I wouldn't have missed much in my collection. That said, according to my wife I enjoy new songs and groups only when the music they play is old-fashioned. I discovered recently (well, almost two years ago) through the BBC short-lived series Sorted (a shame they axed that one, by the way), the tune Bang Bang, You're Dead, by Dirty Pretty Things. Love it to bits. I don't know exactly what I love so much about it: it's sort of good old rock beat, it has a bit of a Ennio Morricone feel, juuuuuust enough to be perceived, there is the British accent, and it all mixes so well.

So here you are, here's the official clip from youtube, so you can judge for yourself:
