The powerful song comes from the band's new album 'Sawdust', which consists of B-sides, covers, rarities plus other tracks. http://www.musicvideosblog.co.uk/2007/11/07/the-killers-tranquilize-featuring-lou-reed/ This video is a little raunchy, so if you're young, it might be best to give this one a miss. 'Supergirl' is another cracker from German band Reamonn. I'm not sure how popular the band are around the world, but they've certainly created some wonderful songs so far. http://www.musicvideosblog.co.uk/2007/10/13/reamonns-supergirl/ One of my favourite R.E.M. songs has to be 'The Great Beyond'. It's amazing that this 'great' song only made it to number 57 in the US charts! The song was taken from soundtrack of the movie 'Man on the Moon', in which R.E.M. created the score for. The video features ... http://www.musicvideosblog.co.uk/2007/10/12/rems-the-great-beyond/ This song is 'Alright', well it's more than alright, as it's a great song from a great band in 'Reamonn'. The video is appropriate for the song, although I find it odd how a tramp who is much in need of a bath has medical supplies so readily available. http://www.musicvideosblog.co.uk/2007/10/10/reamonns-alright/ Today's video is a curious one from LCD Soundsystem. I don't think I've seen anything like the video to 'Someone Great' before. Basically a character from the video is 'blacked out', whether they're dead or just not there anymore, who knows, great song though. The single will be available in ... http://www.musicvideosblog.co.uk/2007/10/09/lcd-soundsystems-someone-great/ Today's music video is James Blunt's '1973'. It's a catchy tune, as you can expect from Blunt, who is ironically singing about a year prior to his birth. The video was shot in the backlots of Universal Studios in Los Angeles. http://www.musicvideosblog.co.uk/2007/10/07/james-blunts-1973/ The 1997 version of Lou Reed's 'Perfect Day' still sounds great today as it did all those years ago. With performers such as Bono, David Bowie, Elton John, Tom Jones, and of course, Lou Reed himself, it's an all-star cast. There's a few oddities in there, like Shane McGowan, but it's ... http://www.musicvideosblog.co.uk/2007/10/06/perfect-perfect-day/ With Luciano Pavarotti's recent passing, I thought it would be appropriate to add 'Nessun dorma'. It's a song I first heared during the World Cup in 1990. It's a superb song with an even more superb performance from possibly the greatest ever tenor. http://www.musicvideosblog.co.uk/2007/10/05/luciano-pavarotti-rip/ The Goo Goo Dolls' Iris is one of my most favourites songs ever. I've heard it so many times and still it sounds as wonderful as the first time I heard it. Of course, it's another song from yet another movie soundtrack, this time the 'City of Angels'. If you haven't ... http://www.musicvideosblog.co.uk/2007/10/04/best-song-ever-goo-goo-dolls-iris/ I can't say I'm a fan of Take That, but they've released a very nice pop song for the movie 'Stardust'. 'Rule the World', which oddly doesn't appear on the movie's soundtrack, is apparently only available via a new version of the band's album 'Beautiful World'. The video below is the full ... http://www.musicvideosblog.co.uk/2007/10/03/take-that-with-a-pinch-of-stardust/
