The difference between the UK and the US

See, in the UK, bands like the White Lies can go right in "the charts" at Number One. And MGMT can have a record still in the Top Ten. This despite the preponderance of "drunken slags" one sees in the News of the World links on Drudge; the English are still 11 times smarter than the people you and I know.

This vid, for "Death" [!], is not the greatest thing ever, and is sort Interpol Mk VI or some such, but who cares? It's still a fairly sweet Joy Division pastiche, and the singer seems to be saying "this fing's got a hold on me," which is hot.

Bonus points to the drummer for rocking the full Shigure Lid!
