If someone asks you if you know about CSS, and you say ’sure, I’m a firm believer in web standards’ and they walk away disgusted it could be because they’re not talking about Cascading Style Sheets but about the band ‘Cansei de Ser Sexy‘.

I think they’re one of ‘those’ bands, you know, the ones everyone talks about and you have to get in early to be cool. Well, it’s started already, but if you hurry I think if you start mentioning them now you might still be considered cool.

Here’s an interview with them so you can glean some pertinent information and use it at parties to impress girls. And if it’s already too late and they’re passé, more fool you for listening to me - I haven’t a clue what’s going on.

Also check out the video for ‘Let’s Make Love and Listen to Death From Above‘.

I try not to just nick things off other sites but to hell with it - just spotted this over at the odd but likable Blogorrah site.

The new U2 video.

It’s clever. You know the video where Tony Blair and George Bush do a duet? Or the one where George Bush sings Sunday Bloody Sunday? Or where George Bush sings Imagine?

Well U2 didn’t use George Bush, but they did use just about every musical icon they could think of and lip synched them so they’re singing U2’s latest. Then they put it up on YouTube.

The band also included themselves in a ‘Where’s Wally’ type way throughout the video.

Clever marketing that. Wonder who came up with the idea. Of course we’ll probably now see a spate of music videos that try to copy popular YouTube ideas.

Next on YouTube: Britney Spears lip-synching to a 14 year old girl’s recording of herself singing Britney Spears’ songs.

Killer Cars by RadioHead.

I didn’t even know this song existed until a friend of mine played it for me, seems it was a B-side or something. The live versions tend to be better than the original… it’d be great for one of those nasty road safety ads where the happy people die horribly coz they weren’t wearing their seatbelts or they were drink driving or whatever…

Couldn’t find a good recording of it, but this one’s not too bad apart from the crowd clapping and screaming…!
