For one of the standout tracks off of Shotter’s Nation, “You Talk”, the garage rock quartet [tag]Babyshambles[/tag] has decided to approach the video a bit simpler, much as the song itself for that matter. The video features Pete Doherty and company, strolling through weathering forests and dark, crowded rooms (seems a bit more then a poker party).

The Foo’s are back with a reminiscent video, to the good ol’ days of “Everlong” or “Learn to Fly”, for a song that fails to deliver in many aspects, “Long Road To Ruin.” The video however does well to erase some of it’s since, thanks to it’s excellent Foo Fighterish humor and storyline, that makes the viewer concentrate on the video, then the actual song. The video is centered around a fictional 70’s soap opera,…
