This interesting snippet of footage was filmed at the TS Wisla Hala in Krakow, Poland, during Reading prog-rockers Pure Reason Revolution's recent European jaunt supporting Porcupine Tree. This new tune, posted on YouTube with the band's consent, shows them going in a more 'industrial' direction.
To be honest, given the year the band has had, it's good to see them enjoying themselves (when I last saw them live they didn't have the best of evenings). This track is a good sign that the new album, which they're currently recording, is shaping up nicely. Excellent.

Tom Jones - I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor
Sir Tom of Jones, covering the Arctic Monkeys breakthrough tune, from the Concert for Diana at the weekend:
OK, so it might not be everyone's bag of chips (a couple of Monkeys' purists I know loathe it) but I like it. It's got soul, more than the comparatively bland Sugababes' take on the song that's for sure, and that's not a bad thing.

Electric Six - Gay Bar
The sight of four young whippersnappers, dressed in hot-pants and skimpy pink vests, decorated with stick-on Abe Lincoln beards and stovepipe hats, brought much amusement to the bar of The Wedgewood Rooms last night. Electric Six headlining had something to do with it (well, I'm hoping it did, if not there's something dodgy afoot).
Unfortunately, not having seen the promo for Gay Bar, the connection was lost on Jim; us drunkenly explaining why four (most likely) students were dressed in such a manner didn't really help matters either. It's always best, I find, to show rather than tell:
Just plain bonkers I tell you.
Anyway, the band's latest album, Switzerland, has been out awhile and, whilst it didn't exactly set the charts alight, is worth a listen. If you head over to Fluxblog you should just about be in time to download one track, Mr Woman, before it drops off the site's server. Nice.

Crowded House - Don't Stop Now
Co-written with Johnny Marr (!), Don't Stop Now is the first single lifted from the latest release from everyone's favourite antipodeans, Crowded House. Neil Finn, Nick Seymour and Mark Hart have been joined by ex-Beck drummer Matt Sherrod (who has the unenviable task of stepping into the late Paul Hester's shoes) and so far things are looking (and sounding) pretty good.
The new single is a slow burner of a song and, whilst not evident in this 'lifted from breakfast telly' clip, definitely provides rewards with repeated listens. Enjoy.
The single will be released digitally in the UK on 18th June with the physical release (on several different formats) scheduled for 25th June. The album, Time On Earth, is due to be released here on 2nd July 2007.
