The Rapture

16 August 2006 :: posted by Travis

Woop, woop. The video for The Rapture’s funktastic “Get Myself Into It” has found its way onto YouTube. God bless YouTube. Their new album, Pieces Of The People We Love, is out September 12th. That’s like almost tomorrow.

Edit: Btw, YouTube wants every single music video ever. Ever. That’s busy.

Edit 2: Ok, so the above video was removed by request of our friends the RIAA. Because God forbid a promo video be seen before the release of an album. I mean really… people might see the promo, and then want to go out and buy the album. Major labels wonder why their album sales are hurting and blame p2p instead of looking at the irresponsible lobbyist group they employ. It’s a viscous cycle. Duh. Anyway… tangent.

7. The RIAA banned the video from youtube for the new Scissor Sisters single too before the song was up on US itunes. Why any sensible business would block streaming video of music they are trying to sell by exposing people to is beyond me.
