Ah, the irony! My last post I wrote about my hope that some day The Verve would get back together, well, they have!

It was announced on Richard Ashcroft’s official website a few weeks back that they’re back recording. I can’t wait to hear their new songs!

To celebrate their reforming, of course, today’s offering has to be from The Verve.

‘Lucky Man’ came in two versions, one video for the UK and one for the US. I’ve gone for the latter version, mainly due to the mountain top finale. Enjoy!

I came across the video for ‘3 Times and You Lose’, which is another track from Travis’ new album ‘The Boy With No Name’.

I’ve heard quite a few tracks from the album after their appearance on Jool Holland’s Late Show, and from I’ve heard, the band have created a great album.

The video reminds me of The Verve’s ‘Bittersweet Symphony’ due to all the walking around Fran Healy and the band do!

You can listen to a selection of tracks from their new album via their MySpace page.

After a break I’m back with a new music video.

Today’s selection is from yet another Scottish band, The Aliens. Admittedly I’m not that familiar with them and only know this track due to ABC1 using the selected track ‘The Happy Song’ on a promo for one of their channels.

It’s an extremely catchy song and one that will have you singing for a some time to come, so you have been warned! Enjoy!
