Dope Free Friday: Bat For Lashes

Here's a bike-related music video for you on this Dope Free Friday, because musicians never take drugs. It's got some Wicker Man style animal masks too, so we could probably also count this as an Animals On Bikes update. The video is from a band called Bat For Lashes, which means absolutely nothing to us but is probably a very clever and witty name for a band, possibly referencing HP Lovecraft and Captain Beefheart.



Now that everyone is goths, it makes it a lot harder to tell whether this song is supposed to be pop music or something that only twats with shit hair buy so that they can talk about the CD incessantly until they accuse the band of selling out because more than ten people own a copy. These days, even men in hockey masks screaming about slitting throats could count as pop music, so we've pretty much given up on understanding popular culture altogether.

Anyway, that's another £25 from Parlophone Records in our pocket, and we didn't even have to watch the video with the sound on this time.

Monday
Some Tour of Britain photos. If we're not too busy.

What's the word "derailed" got to do with bikes anyway?

  • Err... bikes have things called derailleurs? Apart from track bikes, which don't.

If derailleurs evolved from fixies, how come there are still fixies?
