The Seagulls top videos of the month

After a good three hours a day on You Tube spent watching videos, a couple of facebook wall posts, a bit of flirting ( I'll send my url's if you send me yours) later, I came up with these. They are not necessarily the official videos, and if it's not some overzealous fan who decided to put bibio as the soundtrack for his video from his club med holiday, they can be quite stunning at times.

Riceboy Sleeps - Daníell In the Sea


Sun Araw - Horse Steppin'



Bibio - Top Soil


Neon Indian- deadbeat Summer


The ruby suns- Oh Mojave


Discovery- Swingtree


The Cool Kids -Pennies

I couldn't keep smoking so I listened


After Two weeks of smoking a pack a day, after exams, after the fucking awful weather, with no prospects of a holiday due to an internship, I decided that I needed to select the two most amazing songs of the moment and listen to them repeatedly for over 2 weeks, thing which I did and which has worked on my morale.
Note that Riceboy 1901 is in fact from the album Riceboy Sleeps an artistic collaboration between Jón Þór Birgisson ( Sigur Rós) and his boyfriend Alex Somers. It's quite frankly one of the most visual songs I have ever listened to, and it definatly answered all of my latest questions without there ever being one word whispered.

ps: Like my Friend Jean-Christophe noted, I like the word "jolie" and all that it takes into consideration
