The Temper Trap - Love Lost

Today's song is brought to you by all might Danksy...

As good in stereo as in concert, the Melbourne boys tried-and-true formula of “start off soft and contain enough indecipherable sounds that punters can make-pitched noises to sing along” struck gold with “Love Lost”. The combination of Merv Hughes stretching routines and memories of hellacious cross-country runs is enough to certify the video as all-time, but the song’s got enough panache to stand on its own as one of the Temper Trap’s classics.

Not known for their massive onstage presence, the last time they played in Sydney with the Joy Formidable (with what can only be described as the largest green garbage ban in history as a backdrop) the Trap owned it. Whilst it won’t get you jumping off the walls or reflecting on life, it’ll leave you better than when you encountered it.

British India - Avalanche

Melbourne Rockers British India are back with their third album and it's kicking my arse with it's awesomness at the moment. Earlier this year I was all about my overseas bands, but it's great to see there's some killer albums from Aussie artists starting to fill up my 'top ten' list of albums for 2010. This is making it on the list so far.

It's great to have some cool Aussie rock to listen to that hasn't been watered down, plus the clip has slow-mo, and what guy doesn't love some sweet slow-mo action?

The Bedroom Philosopher - Northcote (So Hungover)

So the lyrics to this song are pretty damn funny and poke fun at the whole 'cool scenester' local music scene. But what makes it really funny is the film clip.

I heard them advertising for it on the radio the other month, they were asking for people with the 'right' look to come down to a certain place in Melbourne and be a part of the filmclip. The funny thing being the song is taking a swipe at all those people who have the 'right' look. So all these rad indie types turned up to be in a film clip that's giving them shit. Classic.

Anyway, gotta go, I'm running out of street credit. Enjoy.
