Another gloriously grubby video comes in the form of "Tape Song".
They can make as many videos as they want, because each video is a scrappy lo-fi pisstake. I doubt they will spend more than $15,000 on all 5 MB videos combined.

Her voice is amazing on it! Yup, a nuanced deviation from her usually "clawed-kitten voice" (as phil said).

Our little thread has become a PMA Nominee for Best Artist Thread!!! :o Just think, this time last year, no one on this board even listened to the Kills. Oh, what miracles gleeful strong-armed tactics can achieve! ;) And, of course, we must thank Gossip Girl for christening the little, mighty juggernaut called "Sour Cherry" as the coolest unofficial single of the Year!

Honestly though. Before April? May? I didn't even know who they were. Gosh, even when I started seeing this thread, I never thought I'd actually like them. Now, I gladly count them as one of my five or ten favorite current acts.
And they still hold my best concert memory of 2008... with Girls Aloud, in totally different ways.

I love the way it's directed, the whole feel of it and what it all symbolizes, HOWEVER the whole Interview With A Vampire thing is probably a little much for me.

Since Alison is promoting TDW for a bit, we'll never get new Kills now! THANKS, KATE.

Someone better kidnap that skinny bitch, tied her to a chair and force-feed her tons of McD's! TDW doesn't sound all that great to me anyway, Alison should just shift her focus back to The Kills.

I sortaaa agree. I'm very excited about TDW and their tour, but White said they have a couple of songs written for the second record already... AND FRANKLY I'D RATHER THEY DIDN'T.

After living with this for a week, it's another solid album for them. Blood Pressures remains my favorite, but this feels like a more cohesive work than Ash & Ice.
"103" and "LA Hex" are massive IMO. That whole sun-burnt/disillusioned vibe, I could have listened to a whole album of just that.
