Ra Ra Riot- Can you tell



I love this video, other than the fact that the song is fantabulous, and that the album appeared in the top 50 of Hypem's 2008 Zeitgeist, Ra Ra Riot are the type of people you just want to be friends with at all costs ( yeah you can shove my head down the toilet)
I should really be posting videos that bring the reader into summer time, with airy tunes and white dresses with clubmaster raybans, but this video is like watching a christmas special of Friends in the middle of summer, it makes you miss the nice things that winter has to offer, but you arn't going to admit it are you.

I also like the idea of the guy (or the singer Wes Miles) standing outside of your front doorstep with flowers peeking sheepishly through the window, and the cellist Alexandra Lawn swinging on the swing attached to the garden tree. Generally the only thing that I see swinging are the 40 year old neighbours in the flat opposite to mine, and the only thing that waits for me outside of the door, is a rundown staircase that smells of festering curry. This band from NY, advertises life without responsibility, and masters in images the feeling you get when you fancy someone so much that he or she has you literally dancing on hot coal in limbo land.
