SHINee (샤이니) - "Sherlock•셜록 (Clue + Note)" Music Video

Did ya hear the news, ShaWols? "SHINee's BACK!" ;)

So I'm still not sold 100% on the Sherlock mini-album (iTunes), but I do love a few of the songs - "Stranger", "Note", and this here song "Sherlock" (resulting from the best parts of the song "Note" + the best parts of the less powerful song "Clue") IS a good one...

What this song & video have going for them (:

• It's got a catchy hook and the horn instrumentation is great
• You can tell the boys love singing and dancing to it
• The dancing is (of course / in true SHINee style) AMAZING! - JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF THAT ELBOWS-OUT, KICKSTEP SWAGGER DURING THE CHORUS!!!

• There's a cute bull terrier in the video - but WHY does that bull terrier have road rash on his face? Has he been fighting? I want to hug him and take him away from the SHINee World that has left him scarred and battered!

• The art direction of the video / the "Rooms"
• MINHO. Nuff Said.

Minho's JEANS (DAMMMNNN BOY?!)

Taemin's top hat (Not a T.O.P hat, unfortunately ;)

• Key waggin' her finger all over the place like she's Beyonce or something

*SPOILER ALERT!* Jessica from SNSD (Girls' Generation / 소시) is the 'elusive' ghost who leads the Hardy Boys to the jewellllssss!!!

Things in this video that make you go "Hmmm":

• SHINee's acting

• TAEMIN'S HAIR = WTF x 1,000,000,000 !?

• Key waggin' her finger all over the place like she's Beyonce or something

Overall, we give this song/video a solid  4.5/5                 ^____^

The MV:

All's well that ends well!

Hello! Hello! Goldfrapp Video for "Alive"

Just watched this for the first time and I had to post it right away.

THIS is why I love Goldfrapp- scary as hell, funny, and feminist. At first it seems simple, but symbols take time to unpack in the mind folks.

I swear it sounds like she's saying "i wanna kill ya tonight / i wanna kill ya tonight / i wanna kill ya tonight"

She's such a riddler. MMMMMM

Goldfrapp - A & E (first single from Seventh Tree)

Goldfrapp's back. Their new single A & E was released last week by itself and this week with remixes. The single was taken from the band's soon-to-be-released album called Seventh Tree - hitting the streets and stores on 25 February - and if you're a true 'Frapp fan, you'll enjoy the change from the disco-dipped glam sleaze we've come to expect from the group.

Seventh Tree touches back to the sweeping soundscapes of their first album Felt Mountain, and adds depth to the band's repertoire. Keep in mind Alison Goldfrapp began her career as a performance artist fresh out of art school. Her first performance pieces combined her classically-trained soprano opera voice with the act of milking a cow.

This effort has lifted the curtain back on Alison's feminine vulnerability, and more importantly exposes the folly that is being human. This is the kind of album you can put on and listen to all the way through and appreciate every song. At first listen I wasn't a fan, but after a few listens I felt myself softening to the pared-down structure of the folky-sounding songs and began to really enjoy them. The drowsy melodies and ghostly guitars beg to be played on lazy Sundays or at twilight dinner parties.

Here's the provacative video for "A & E". If you were lucky enough to see Goldfrapp's last tour, you have to wonder if the leaf-people featured in this video are any of the same horse's head dancers that flanked Alison on stage.

Enjoy!
