Am totally hooked on ‘The Decision’ by a band called The Young Knives. Can’t get its pleasingly bonkers riff and lyrics out of my head.
I wore the blue with the green
I wore the blue with the green
I mixed the matt with the sheen,
It’s not the way to be seen
That decision was mine,
that decision was mine
I’ve grown to hate all the music on my iPod (familiarity breeds contempt) and this song has got me happily bopping down the Strand for the first time in… months. Check out the wonderful video on their web site. Bliss.
(If, like me, you’re having touble playing all of the Decision video on that site, try their MySpace page instead. And if you’re wondering what they sound like, I’m going to hazard a guess at “The Small Faces meet XTC”).
Hurry and get the bonus DVD with their album ‘Voices of Animals and Men’. Doesn’t have the wonderful new video for The Decision on it, but it’s full of gems.
