Twitter & New Kasabian Video

I've been feeling bad lately for not blogging on here much. I can't help it, though, my relationship with Blogger could never compare to my passionate affair with Twitter. Although I'm still convinced not many people read this blog (or my other blog: http://mbsmusicmag.blogspot.com/), if you'd like to keep up-to-date with all of my ramblings, follow me on twitter! (@Booshette)

If you're new to twitter, or you just want more people to follow, here are some of my favorites (in no particular order).

Ok, now that I've given you way too much information about Twitter, I bet you're wondering what finally managed to drag me back to blogger. It is this magnificent piece of work:


Kasabian - Vlad the Impaler from Kasabian on Vimeo.

Not only is this song amazing (download the full track for FREE for a limited time at kasabian.co.uk), but 2 of my favorite people are involved in the video. It stars the Mighty Boosh's Noel Fielding, and is directed by Richard Ayoade, of IT Crowd and Mighty Boosh fame.

I have yet to see a video by Richard Ayoade that I don't like. Here are some of my favorites:

Vampire Weekend -- "Oxford Comma"



The Last Shadow Puppets -- "My Mistakes Were Made for You"



The Last Shadow Puppets -- "Standing Next to Me"



P.S. -- If you're interested in a more in-depth discussion of the new Kasabian video, might I recommend checking out "Kasabian strikes again with Vlad the Impaler - and gets a little help from The Boosh" on Blendetta?

The Last Shadow Puppets -- Video: "Standing Next to Me"

The video for 'Standing Next To Me' was shot in London by Richard Ayoade(!!!)

I'm Not Alone!

From the NME last week:

"What should we do if we see someone famous [backstage]?":

Miles Kane (a.k.a. the lead singer of The Rascals and one half of the AMAZING Last Shadow Puppets) responds: "Go over and offer them a night of passion. Just say 'night of passion', then say 'question mark'. I'm quite into saying punctuation out loud at the moment."

I say punctuation out loud all the time! You should try it, its fun :O)

Miles Kane:



Another awesome quote from an interview with Gavin Rossdale (formerly of Bush) in the 7 June issue of NME:

Q: "How big was the miniature donkey?"
A: "Well miniature."

And to round it all off, some Last Shadow Puppets pictures:

New The Last Shadow Puppets Video

Here is the video for "The Age of the Understatement" by The Last Shadow Puppets.

The Rascals & The Last Shadow Puppets

I first heard of the Rascals because their lead singer, Miles Kane, is one half of The Last Shadow Puppets, the side project of Alex Turner from the Arctic Monkeys. I heard they had an album, "Rascalize" coming out soon (June 23) , so I thought I'd check them out. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna love them :O)
