Video Times:
As promised, here's the video for the Dears track "22: Death of All Romance". The animation in this is wonderful, the story is appropriately heartbreaking and one of the singers (I believe Natalia Yanchak but don't quote me on that) is the most beautiful woman I have seen in my entire life.
Watch it!

This show didn't come together like I had planned. I was left with seven minutes of space to fill and couldn't manage to re-arrange anything well enough to cap things off with "Nature Boy" as I'd intended. But, it is what it is. So for the anniversary of "mission accomplished" I present a collection of songs about dreams, lies, destruction, desperation, death, the end and love.

Bonus Video Time!

Interesting note: when I was first approached with the idea of doing a show, I had initially considered calling it "Running Up That Hill Radio" because I love this song so much. Thankfully it hasn't been the uphill battle that everything else is. And so-

Kate Bush being... Kate Bush in the video for "Running Up That Hill":




So, this is actually a fan-made video, but it's professional quality and pretty amazing as far as videos go. While I don't like the male singer's voice on this track, STG made a decent effort and it outshines that godawful other cover that was released on the Depeche Mode tribute album x years back. Anyway, without further ado: Shiny Toy Guns performing "Stripped".
