indie new video thursday: kate nash, the gossip, bloc party, hadouken! pleasure feat brett anderson, duke special

kate nash - caroline's a victim
[she looks like a 60's retro pop act, but for her 1st single, the much buzzed about 19 year old kate nash gets a makeover as her sweet folk renderings gets a rave-punk remix (i actually like this version better). check out her original sound via an xfm acoustic performance recently (thanks to the daily growl). the good news is that everything has been tampered with, here's a lovely fan video of her cute song merry happy posted on her myspace site]

kate nash - merry happy (fan video)


the gossip - jealous girl
[beth ditto and posse are back with a new video! still one of the best voices that i discovered last year, can't wait to see what they're going to do next]


bloc party - i still remember
[updated 1/11: bloc party's US release is a more conventional alternative song than 'the prayer'. i actually like this one more!]


hadouken! - that boy that girl
[oh yes, the rave punk popjustice faves finally release a proper video for their internet hit. i liked it back in november, i still like it now (especially since new beats were added to this single release)]


pleasure feat brett anderson - back to you
[co-written with fred ball (aka pleasure), ex-suede singer brett anderson is going through a bit of a personal renaissance with his upcoming acoustic album and this electronically inclined tune. i dig!]


duke special - free wheel
[i gave a special heads up to duke special back in november and i'm really glad that more singles are being released from his debut album songs from the deep forest. this is one of my favorites with a beautiful animated video to boot!]

brett anderson (suede/tears) - live in his apartment

brett anderson - scorpio rising (live in his apt)
[a live acoustic preview from his upcoming 2007 solo album 'brett anderson'. scorpio rising is the 1st single. from the press release, it seems like brett is aiming for a very low key release. btw, he looks like he's in some parisian apt doesn't he?]


brett anderson - europe is our playground (live in his apt)
[gorgeous and his voice is most reminiscent of classic suede. god i miss those days!]


brett anderson - song for my father (live in his apt)
[as you can see, brett has mellowed waaaaaay much. lovely song though]


brett anderson - beautiful (live in his apt)
[now he's just taking the piss... what's going on?]

update: 12/25

brett anderson - back to you
