Album: The Concretes
Year: 2003
For awhile in the early 2000s, MTV2 revived 120 Minutes, and — just like in the late 80s — I would occasionally record it looking for things that hadn’t previously crossed my radar. That’s how I first came across acts like Broken Social Scene, Secret Machines and where I first saw the amazing animated video for “You Can’t Hurry Love” by the Concretes.
That video is one of my all-time favorites, depicting what I assume are The Concretes interacting with icons from the 1970s & 1970s: Eno, Ono, Elton, Buckingham & Nicks, and probably some others that I’m missing. It’s the perfect video for one of my favorite songs of this millennium.
