Australian band Dappled Cities are preparing to release a great album called Granddance in July. Here’s a video for the song “Fire Fire Fire” that features technologically advanced polar bear effects that pretty much give Al Gore and global warming the finger.

First you see one indie rocker from Sweden; let’s say it’s Jens Lekman. Then they just keep showing up and nobody takes notice until they become a threat to our American way of life. You know the ones: the Radio Dept., Suburban Kids With Biblical Names, I’m From Barcelona. They come to our country, steal our dreams of playing homemade synth pop, and charm our socks off with their damn triangles, hand clapping, and sing-along choruses. We are face to face with a Scandinavian coup. If you’re not outraged, you’re not paying attention.

The Kaiser Chiefs quickly incinerate a few dead bodies before an important dinner engagement
The Kaiser Chiefs video for their new single “Ruby” features the Chiefs all King-Kong style atop a miniature city that pretty much gives miniature air traffic control the tiny finger.
