Video of the day! Battles (feat. Gary Numan) 'My Machines'

Hello pop-pickers!

I have no idea how they've done it, but Battles have managed to make avant garde and experimental rock music mainstream. Their music is all over TV, in adverts, over the top of documentaries and probably in Hollyoaks (at the beggining when they have the guest directors in for the shit intros with the text messages that pop up on the screens with sad or weird songs over the top whilst the cast are waking up in bed from the previous episode's dramatic conclusion..........no?...........you know Hollyoaks, it's by the creator of Grange Hill.....................Phil Fuckin' Redmond!!!!!!.......it's on Channel 4...................................Flynn is my favourite TV character EVA! lolmegz).

Anyway they also make awesome videos. I've bloged, yes bloged not blogged, their last video for 'Ice Cream' on here a few months ago. This video is better and Gary Numan is in it. I only just realised why Gary Numan spels (yes, spels) his name Numan and not Newman. It's spelt (yes, spelt) like Human, suggesting Gary Numan feels that he is not a human, but a new(er) version of a human, perhaps a more evolved human than us mere non-electro based carbon life forms. Maybe Gary is not human, but from outer space and his choice of stage name is ironic and a rather tongue-in-cheek choice from the reckless invader. I'll get to the point, WHO CARES? not me.

Here's the video, it's very good.


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA they're so fucking avant garde that they won't give me (an soley garde-based musician) permission to show their video to you. Search for it on Vimeo...................whatever. Battles suck anyway.

Over and out
