HEART ATTACKS ARE ALL THE RAGE

defrogOne of the more productive ways I spend my weekends is watching Rage on the Australia Channel until 3 in the morning in the hopes that I just might see something interesting.
Rage, if you don’t know, is an Australian music video program, and a misleadingly named one, since a lot of the music contains anything but rage. Ironically, not very much of it is Australian, either, unless you count Kylie. And when it is Australian, it’s usually Silverchair.
Anyway, I’ve become reasonably obsessed with one video that’s been in rotation for the last six weeks or so – “This Heart Attack” by a band called Faker. I’ve no idea if this is getting any airplay at all outside of Australia, but then that’s why Al Gore invented the MySpace and YouTubes for.
Behold.
I’m still trying to work out which 90s college radio band they’re stealing this from. And I won’t pretend that part of the appeal is NOT the ER tribe chicks in the video (as my passion for Japanese teenage girl gang subculture is well documented). Still, it’s catchy as all hell, and a deliciously savage break-up song.
One for the Valentine’s Day playlist folder, then.
You broke my heart in a million places,
This is dF
