Because you know I love drama, and YouTube clips — why else did I spend an unmentionable amount of minutes watching Coco T’s channel last night? But Coco doesn’t really make music that much, so let’s post something else — here’s this video from cute-as-buttons English cabaret duo Bitter Ruin. They’ve started posting some Christmas posts today, and the song they’ve chosen is a work-in-progress called “Clinging On,” set in a holiday living room. They threaten to take this video down if we watch it too much because it’s “rough” or whatever, but as I myself am a mediocre singer at best, I will refuse to believe that Georgia’s and Ben’s vocals could ever be anything but mindblowing.
It’s reminding me of Nightmare Before Christmas, in the good, Danny Elfman-and-swagger-monsters way, not in the mall goth way.
If you find yourself with a moment, please listen to some other songs; they are all very very good. (My favorite, again, because I favor the theatrical, is “Outrageous.”) Visit the band on their Twitter where they interact rather often. (Much like Coco T.) And then there’s always Myspace.
