This.

and it's not even close.

This is early running for song of the decade for me.

nope. I think youtube is the easiest and most likely to be successful way to share.
Checking a few of the other youtube vids in this thread so far, I know that none of em would get more than two token plays, should ii compile and make a mix...
just curious to see what everyone thought was their favorite so far....

Oooohhh... D'Armond pickups! Nice.

EDIT:
The song, itself reminds me of The Polecats - "Make a Circuit With Me".
That's a good thing. I like this one.

They just released a 7" in April. Apparently an album is forthcoming this fall. Here's some background:

Quote:
Before the Toronto artist John O'Regan became the one-man electro-pop spectacle Diamond Rings, he was a member of a rock band called the D'Urbervilles. In fact, he never stopped being part of that group, though they have changed their name and style. Now known as Matters, the band have updated the post-punk style of the D'Urbervilles with the keyboards and romanticism of O'Regan's Diamond Rings material. "Get In or Get Out," the band's first single as Matters, emphasizes rhythm and texture as well as O'Regan's handsome baritone, resulting in a track that lies halfway between the sound of Radiohead and the National. The single will be released by O'Regan's Hype Lighter label on April 5th.

Couldn't find an official video and all the rest were live footage. So, it's just a single still shot but the song is from the album (one of my faves of the year)
