"Lost Weekend" Art Brut

Lost Weekend.  The title of this song had me vaguely remember some Jack Lemon movie or was it Burt Lancaster who was a drunk or something.  So, seriously it must be doomy and suck, right?

No.

What a great song.  Not sunny pop but an overcast happy.  Dos that make sense? Musically its pop fun, lyrically its a bit like a slap in the face, the blending of the two, great fun!  I really really like lead vocalists who speak instead of 'sing'.  This is fantastically done.

Who the fuck is Art Brut anyway?  Apparently that's actually a type of art, you been schooled.

Yo Magpie a kick as femme bassist?

Its like I struck pay dirt.  I have a new band to explore! 

Oh oh.. Lost Weekend basically is fabulous and was the perfect start to a new adventure and I want to hang out with them.

Oh look bonus video its a rather disheveled looking wreck of a Bryan Ferryishness…with a really wicked brow
