Alphabeat debut 'The Spell' video

ScopiSat is obsessed with Alphabeat's new single. It is retro and fun and has a melody and a chorus and 'it has a beat and you can dance to it.'



The video is.....well it is.

It's Scopitone Saturday!!

This week's Scopitone is all 'drama' and 'set design.' In it a French person looks at inanimate objects and sings to them and then lays on a dead animal and then CRIES.

Lego does Bonnie Tyler: Total Eclipse of the Lego

Amazing.





Just...Amazing.

Sign of the Apocalypse #7: Real Housewife Kim's new single

So this is what we've come to. This is what the culmination of thousands of years of human culture and advancement and philosophy and science has resulted in. A tone-deaf living nightmare of a cougar warning us not to be late or something - a terrible, terrible something - will happen.



If it were anyone other than "Real Housewives of Atlanta's Kim Zolciak" it would just be a not-horrible RedOne knockoff but it is "Real Housewives of Atlanta's Kim Zolciak" so instead it is a cosmic sign that baby Jesus will soon be coming back to lay waste to the Earth with fire and water and rapture all the Girls Aloud fans up to Heaven where Xenomania does the soundtrack and no one is ever over-lit

:(

Hockey's new 'Song Away'

It may come as a surprise to some that ScopiSat has a soft spot for a good guitar-indie jam. This is a pop blog, though, and so we don't get many chances to spotlight that kind of thing. Luckily a song came out this week that straddles the line between VERY GOOD POP and VERY GOOD ROCK and has a melody and a chorus and things that pop songs are supposed to have and really indie songs aren't. The song in question is called 'Song Away' and is by Hockey the band. We say Hockey the band because Hockey is also a sport and that could get confusing.

We would show you the video but Capitol Records feels that videos are to be made and not seen and does not allow embedding. So instead here is a picture to look at while a song plays.



'Song Away' is out now for download in the UK on Capitol.

The second Madonna 'Celebration' video is very good isn't it

Madonna - Celebration (Fan Version) Video by Madonna - MySpace Video

Yes. It is.

Watch Whitney's 'Million Dollar' video

This is Whit's new video. In it she goes to the dry cleaner and sings to people in the basement because that is the only way to become famous again after you go on a crack binge and marry Bobby Brown. :(



Also she looks like a REALLY GOOD Whitney Houston drag queen.

Good to have you back, Miss H.

Soft Toy Emergency's new single is 'Critical'

ScopiSat doesn't know what to make of Soft Toy Emergency, and even less what to make of their new song. On one hand it's got a great melody, it's got attitude. On the other, WTF IS GOING ON WITH THAT BEAT? It's like the Vengaboys. We're definitely on board with a tip of the hat to the past and we love our retro-referential flourishes, but come on guys. Too soon.



Out in November on AATW but if you want pure 90's joy buy Alphabeat's 'The Spell' instead
