The Horrors

I need to make it very clear that I'm not obsessed with The Horrors. They're quite now, and as soon as their album comes out, many more are gonna listen to them and then maybe even dress like them. Ugh, posers. And again, they're not EMO! Not GOTH...or whatever you choose to call them.

Also, I would like to apologise for the havoc made in that photo collection of mine. To be clear the picture which includes 4 slides (lomograph) is Tomethy Furst. The topless boy sitting my the lake is Jacob. And the one in the tie is Coffin Joe. A mess. But what can I do.. :|

Anyways, I'd like to introduce some of my favourite videos of The Horrors.

The first one will be Sheena Is A Parasite. Featuring Samantha Morton from Pride and Prejudice as the confused lady who gives birth to a slimy squid.
Following up, is the parody called..Sheena is A Parody. Please pay attention. Drummer uses kitchen tools to play drums, bassist..um, randomly hits a spoon against his wrist, keyboardist presses some kind of buttons..Mop as a guitar and a brush as a microphone. A microphone is usually replaced with a brush in most parodies. But this one's funnier. Instead of the usual hairbrush, they use the scrubber brush for toilet bowls. Hilarious.

Next up, Count In Fives. The band perform in a usual studio and appear in black and white. The rhythm, catchy. Thanks to Spider Webbs techique on the organ, the song appears to sound like a rock n roll version of The Addams Family. Also, there'll be people outside of the screen, in white tee's translating the lyrics into sign language.
Swell, eh?
