Klaxons beat out Winehouse

I read that Amy Winehouse was a particulary sore loser on Monday, when the Klaxons won the National Mercury Prize instead of her.

They beat out tons of artists who released solid albums this year:
Dizzee Rascal
Fionn Reagan
New Young Pony Club
Arctic Monkeys
Maps
The View
The Young Knives
Bat for Lashes
Amy Winehouse

'Back to Black' may be a critic-proof album, but it's the kids who count. And the kids are just crazy for those Klaxon boys. I know, I've seen it in person! But seriously, I love 'Myths of the near Future'. I even went inside a record store to buy it, and that's saying something! I may be a bit weary of hearing about them, but in the end, they deliver the goods in concert. I can't say the same for Mrs. Winehouse-Fielder-Civil.

Check the video of Amy performing "Love is a Losing Game"

Ribbons

I actually walked into a record store and purchased the new Klaxons' cd, Myths of the Near Future. I've been obsessed with these Brits for months. Now my dream has been realized with the in-store purchase. I know that I coulda downloaded it in February, but I wanted the cover art dammit. I give it an A+. Despite my playing them in some shape or form for over half a year, I can dig it. If you do, you should get it. Def worth the 12 bucks.

I do have to agree with Mike Taylor from Woxy, that their video for Golden Skans is a little bit gay. But I do like the scenery, the ribbons don't bother me at all. Very manly and futuristic. Think Bowie, the Aladdin Sane years.
