Looking for new Richard Hawley online and I found this collaboration with Arctic Monkeys. Usually anything Arctics would be left on a bus heading for Gleadless (or Meadowhall if you prefer, always preferred the isolated 1970s anachronism of Crystal Peaks*though myself) but this is good.
Richard is so RAWK in this clip, and love the ‘Fuck it…’ bit. In fact that and the bikes heading up to the Moors (hey! Snake Pass!) is the reason I’m posting this. Yes after posting a video because it was shot in Tri-X super 8 I am now posting a video because I recognise a road. Is this a new low(edges)?
There is a link strangely, although I am so not posting that video here! *shakes head*
Mr Hawley has a new album out next month, heard the live tracks on radio today, sounding good…but don’t you hate it when they talk about an album on radio or review it in the paper as if it’s out but there’s weeks to go? When albums can be released now in an instant with a mouse click? Get with the 21st century, grandads!
* partly because I took a long wet busride there to see Blade Runner: Director’s Cut for the first time. Should’ve been Clockwork Orange, given the location.
Leave a Comment! Be nice….
