New Raveonettes Video - "One Day (At A Time)"

No being lighthearted about Sudan, and it's nice to have a moment to give it some attention. For their contribution to the international version of the Instant Karma - Save Darfur project, Denmark's Raveonettes cover "One Day (At A Time)," from Lennon's relatively introspective '73 release Mind Games. So, unlike Green Day's clip, there's no Sudanese testimonials -- just some pensive folks in a diner, a singing waitress, and a trippy tank gun. But the black-and-white theme is consistent with Green Day's take, and fitting of the project's moralistic cause. A nice pause for thought.

The US version of Instant Karma is out 6/12. Back to making fun of Marilyn Manson momentarily.

We should probably raise awareness for Darfur instead.

Thanks for posting...Mind Games and the next Lennon release, Walls & Bridges, are two of my favourite albums.
