She Picked A Real Good One

Today I am flabbergasted. You must know I mean business because I never use the word “flabbergasted,” but maybe will start because it’s so fun to say—
"Hello, good morning! How are you?”
“I am flabbergasted! And you?”

Anyway, the reason for the flabber getting gasted is because Jamie Hince (of The Kills) is dating Kate Moss. When did this happen? She really loves those rockers. The dings and bells of the internet search engines must be ringing off the roof right now with people wondering, “Who is Jamie Hince?”

Friends, he is the guitarist of one of my favorite duos, The Kills. Also known as “Hotel,” he and his band mate Alison “VV” Mosshart, and their well-worn drum machine have been making some really interesting albums since the early 2000s.

The Kills are definitely on my list of bands to see live. I’ve heard they have an amazing, electrical chemistry on stage.

The writhing wires in that video remind me of a video by Interpol where electric cords play another important role. Babycakes, let that music control you!




Different context, different rhythm, but Interpol’s is still totally better—Obstacle 1 is classic!
