The "unhinged-and-dangerous" looking Klaxon admits they really have no sense for fashion, but seeing the Klaxkids frolic in Urban Outfitters is amusing. This must be what Americans look like when we go to London and walk down Oxford Street and think everything in like TopShop is just so much cooler than the States' retail chains. But then, Urban Outfitters has reason to give the band a little discount.

Before we got to soak-in the woozy organ and raw yelps of "In the New Year," the last taste we had of the Walkmen was that one-off "Lemon Hill." As we mentioned then, the Men said "Lemon" wasn't "exactly in...

On Oxford St, Topshop is across the street from Urbn, but Topshop is way cool (says this Yank.)
Despite better judgment, I love both the Klaxon boys and their music. Also, somehow the humor of this video is pretty funny despite the whole blatantly synergistic marketing/pr aspect.

Both Topshop and Urban Outfitters are shite. If they'd had a proper minder he/she would have sent them to Mervyn's or Target in the US, to get some "ironic" fashion.
Americans: you want to be going to Primark on Oxford Street, not Topshop...

i like the unhinged one's accent, he said "idear" and brings down the iron fist on the other one for getting the hammock. like the sarcastic dad of them all. but i did not see the pretty boy and this saddened me. sigh i'm just a teenager, you guessed it.
