Not feeling the video, but still liking the song.

Video's good! Though there's a slightly strange moment where as James sings "Curled like an animal lying on the floor" Nicky gets ready to do a jump, and in the next shot he's standing perfectly normally. Looks a bit odd.

Eh? I was referring to the Severn bridge not being European (seen as several people had decided it was all about Richey's disappearance).

It's pretty obvious I meant mainland Europe, but carry on being pedantic if it helps

I quite like the video, very YLA. For a band not 'mass-communicating' the production values for the vid seem very polished.

Listened to the song about 10 times today. The phrasing on the 2nd verse is fucking all over the place and does my head in. Plus the indie disco line is pure tripe.

But the "re-imaging the steps... blinded by your intellect" lines are beautiful.

Starts poorly in my opinion, but by the second time the chorus comes around I am dancing around the room singing along. That can only be a good sign, right?

still not heard the bastard. had a spare moment after work so popped in to HMV in the blind hope that they had given some sort of physical release to the bastard. alas no, the staff instead tried to interest me in some sort of one sided 12" of an Oasis demo.

i suppose i shall have to get around to doing whatever it is i need to with my iTwat account to reflect UK funding / acc and that.

reading this back, my profuse apologies to anyone who read this and just said "what the fuck, man" or otherwise got bored.

I'm trying to imagine Nick and James' confusion at first seeing the smartphone
