I think Cool Law states that I'm not supposed to like Editors anymore...or something.
Whatevs.

Editors - You Don't Know Love

This just might be my new favorite video.
Not to get all art house and whatnot, but that dance routine is the perfect interpretation of a modern relationship.  The battle, the love, the nosey people "watching" everything you do.  OK, maybe just MY modern relationship...let's move on...

More important than the singularity of this jam is that fact that, despite my pre-release freak outs, I actually think Editors' In This Light And On This Evening is fantastic (Even "Papillion" is better in the context of a full album).  I've been jammin' it for weeks, don' know why I haven't mentioned it.  I can see why many would toss out the word "derivative" for it...but whatever.  The shit works.  It's a definite advancement for Editors, without losing the core of why I listened to them in the first place.  In fact, I think they might be the first of the 1000 British bands to make the guitar-to-synth transition and get a full thumbs up from me.

Editors - Eat Raw Meat = Blood Drool

That's a snappy title, ain't it?
I'm still a little nervous about the upcoming album, but I like this song 100x more than "Papillion" . . .can't knock progress, now, can I?  Actually, I can.  Quite well, in fact.  But not on this occasion.

And this Jools Holland fellow has one hell of a TV program.  The musical guests are random as hell, and someone as big as Coldplay gets the same treatment as DJ Rooty Poot & the Tin Can All Stars.  I think it comes on Ovation TV.  Yes, you have it.  274 on DirecTV.

Editors: Studio Brussel Acoustic Session

This is a big slice of fantastic, my friends.  Like . . .this needs to be recorded and and sold on iTunes fantastic (is there an acoustic Editors album that I don't know about?).  Head here to check it out.  Sadly, the site didn't un-ass the embedd codes.  DAMMIT, I love Editors!

Editors - Papillion...and the death of Brit-Rock

(From The Offside Rules)
Ugh. That sound you heard after pressing play wasn't a jam . . .It was my heart falling out of my ass. This is almost as much of a musical dick punch as Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Bloc Party's latest albums.

Et tu, Editors?

I yell about it all the time...but since maybe the end of '07, British rock has taken a synth laced NOSE DIVE. I know, complaining about too much of an electro/synty vibe from me sounds absolutely ridiculous. I've been know to champion the cause of all sound and noises artificial...but England's rock music was where I went to get AWAY from that sound. Brit-rock (and ironically NYC disco/dance-rack) was the absolute corner stone of my iPod life from '05-mid '08 (when Hip-Hop was an absolute WRECK). It was my shit, son! But now, it looks like it's dead.

From what I understand, the same forces that blew a giant hole in Hip-Hop in the States are the same evils that have killed my #2 "genre": Teenagers and record labels. When Boy Kill Boy split however long ago, I asked them WTF happened via MySpace (reason #1 why I will NEVER leave MySpace. Artist feedback) and one of the boys weaved a tale of record labels telling all their guitar-heavy artists that "the kids" just weren't feeling their shit anymore. Bands like BKB were offered 2 choices: Conform or get dropped. Disturbing.

Ugh...I'm in full-on disjointed rant mode at this point, so I save your eyes the trouble.
