My new favorite song. It's rapidly becoming my new "Another Rainy Night", or "Hotel California". Kristin can appreciate that (or not). I've listened to it about 5 times in the last couple of days.
I *love* this band, HIM. They're like the evil devil child conceived when Morissey and Metallica got together. Their Greatest Hits has two awesome covers - "Solitary Man" originally by Johnny Cash and "Wicked Game" by Chris Isaak. I'm in love. I told TJ that Ville Valo, the lead singer is my new boyfriend. But only for singing. Because he's pasty, skinny and comes across as a total dork in the interviews I've read.
Oh, and they're *huge* in Finland. What could be better?
The best part? I have tickets to see them in November. YAY!!!
Oooh, I hadn't seen this video before... now I must go find pictures of his sleeve, because that's amazing looking!
ReplyDeleteI like them! I hear more Sisters of Mercy than Metallica, though. I think Wicked Game will become my next Blue Monday. KB
ReplyDelete@dawn - yes, it is pretty cool. Cooler than him. :)
ReplyDelete@KB - Sisters of Mercy is another good comparison. The new album from HIM is much more late 80s/early90s Metallica sounding. I didn't know you were obsessed with Blue Monday. You'll have to share that story when you come visit. Yay!
