They're not reinventing the wheel, Alphabeat, but there's something endearing about them and at the end of the day, Brian, how wrong can you go with catchy songs performed with real instruments?

It's probably been said elsewhere previously, but the front two strike me as mainstream pop music's equivalent of Saturday night psycho-siblings Same Difference. Somehow, that's a good thing.

Anyway, "10,00 Nights" obviously isn't as good as "Fascination", but not much is. You can tell in the video that curly parting man desperately wants to do some more of that "gay abandon" dancing from the "Fascination" video, but the tone of the song won't allow it because it's a bit more serious and that. Check it out by clicking over.

When I say "a bit more serious", obviously I mean as serious as a video can be with lots of big coloured balls flying about the place and people running backwards and lyrics about someone being "so ooh and so ahh".
