Screw The Hoedown Throwdown. I Wanna Learn The 'Molly Ringwald'

I wanted to post this a few days ago but decided against it because of the slew of music videos I'd already posted. It's a fan-made video for Phoenix's brilliant 'Lisztomania', using scenes from various 'brat pack' films, such as 'The Breakfast Club', 'Pretty in Pink', 'Footloose', and 'Mannequin'.


The French band have even gone on record calling it "their best video", despite the fact that they spent a fortune on the official version. High praise indeed.

My current obsession is Parisian quartet Phoenix, whose album 'Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix' is due in May.

Their sound reminds me of two of my current favourites, The Whitest Boy Alive and Friendly Fires. The buzz building suggests that Phoenix are going to surpass the success of both those bands in the coming months however.

Their considerably amazing track '1901' is available as a free download from their official website. Do yourself a favour.
