Beck’s Record Club: femme fatale

This is a tease of the post coming later today, but this clip made me so very happy after an emotional day, I just thought I'd post it. Enjoy.

Just for fun, here are the top keyword searches (and a couple of the oddest) people have used to land on this here blog in June (so far).

….AND (drumroll please) The Kerry Blog June 16th and all-time champion of the keyword searches is BBW PIN-UP for the post of which there is an illustration of no nekkidness, thankyouverymuch. Good grief, there are a bunch of horny people in the world (I'm talking to you Estonia, Ukraine, and Brazil).

end love

Because I love pretty much everything OK Go does, here is their new video for "End Love." Damian's pants are really tight. I did not just write that.

But they are – are they not?

By the way, the video was released today and the goose that follows them around in the video already has his own Facebook page.

movies about tunes you need Tuesday: Spinal Tap

Spinal Tap is one of my favorite movies. It's all kinds of hilarious. It's a faux-documentary that follows the faux rock band Spinal Tap on tour. If you've never seen it, then shame on you – you need to watch it right now. If you haven't seen it in a while, watch it right now.

Here are the credits.

I bet you didn't know that St. Hibbins was the patron saint of sensible footwear.

sunday rewind: inxs (listen like theives)

I know Kick is the album INXS is most celebrated for, but Listen Like Thieves is my favorite album by the band. It's more of a stripped-down INXS, but just fantastic. Let's go to the videos. Only "What You Need," "Listen Like Thieves," and "This Time" are the original videos, but I found excellent quality concert footage of the other songs — good stuff.

"What You Need" is most like the stuff off Kick. The video is artsy and fun, very similar to what bands were doing in the mid '80s.

Let's talk about the "Listen Like Thieves" video. I couldn't find it on You Tube, but I knew one existed — in my mind I could see the weirdness. Don't worry, I found it on Daily Motion and the weirdness was there. The video is like Mad Max meets INXS. The band is playing, there are armed guards, an old Cruella deVille woman with opera glasses, and a bunch of Mad Max extras watching the band. It's interesting.

I very much enjoy "Shine Like it Does". Great song.

Same goes for "Kiss the Dirt (Falling Down the Mountain)".

I hope you enjoyed the '80s Sunday Rewind. Have a great Sunday.

all “to sir with love” all the time

So, Glee made me cry this week with the group singing "To Sir With Love," one of my favorite songs of all time. It was superfantastic.

If you didn't see it, here it is.

And because I simply adore this version with all my heart, it's Natalie Merchant and Michael Stipe.

"If you wanted the moon I would try to make a start, but I would rather give my heart" is pure poetry. That's magic, people. It doesn't happen everyday.

tunes you need Tuesday on Thursday: The Drums

Shut up.

I love this new band. The Drums are a band from Brooklyn who released their first full-length self-titled album on Tuesday. They've managed to take parts of the Smiths, The Cure, Joy Division and mix it with the sounds of summertime and they sound like this:

I just adore that.

And this should be the song of summer 2010.

"I'll Never Drop My Sword" is superfantastic. I've played this one 42 times.

And "Forever and Ever Amen" may be my favorite, although it's hard to pick. The video is all kinds of fun.

So, The Drums new album is available at the iTunes store, so get it. It's your summer theme music.

if rugs could talk

I've mentioned I'm moving. Among other things, I'm looking for new curtains for the living room/family room, dining room, and kitchen – but it's this rug that caught my eye.
