Keane — Spiralling.

That’s the official video to the new single, Spiralling, from Keane’s upcoming studio album, Perfect Symmetry. I seriously don’t know what the hell is up with the retro (and honestly quite fugly) 80s Max Headroom-esque graphics. The ‘Ohh’ background vocals sounds like it was sampled from EMF’s Unbelievable and they are even some Zoo TV style video walls somewhere in there. A terrifyingly ugly and obnoxiously derivative video that looks like it was done by my neighbour’s 12 year old who could only afford 3D software from two decades ago.

Fail.

This T-shirt is going to get you laid.

I think this might work a little better than the awesome wolf T-shirt.

Get your own (remote controlled) Knight Rider car.

I sure hope the Firebox.com site accepts international credit cards (update: oh baby, yes they do!) because I am so going to order the remote control K.I.T.T. car as soon as I can. It talks and has that snazzy, retro, swooshing red sensor light in front!

Speaking of Knight Rider, I wonder if they’ll show the NBC Knight Rider TV movie here in Singapore…
