Hope you like this li'l video I edited attempting to honour a great song and a great movie.
If you've never heard of Peter Watkins, the director of Punishment Park, you should really check out his films. He makes speculative-documentaries that don't get caught up in mockumentary artificiality. Dystopiamentaries. Movies like the Gladiators and War are stunning and not to be missed.
As far as Ladyhawk go, this song is from their most recent album Shots from 2008. Lately, the Vancouver based band seems more occupied with side projects like Sports and Duffy and the Doubters. You can also hear Duffy Driediger and Ryan Peters on the new Phil Spector/Burt Bacharach inspired Maintenant by Gigi (myspace).

1st Team Allstars: Albums of '08
After much wringing of hands and gnashing of teeth, here it is... the 10 best albums ever (released in 2008)!
Fucked-Up, The Chemistry of Common Life – Hardcore gets caught in swirling shoegaze; as beautiful and brutal as a house getting torn apart in a tornado.

Born Ruffians, Red, Yellow, & Blue - At first listen, this kind of unabashed pop might seem a bit disposable, but it eventually reveals itself as a gem of a debut.
Video / Myspace
Bonnie "Prince" Billy, Lie Down in the Light – It's tough to make a low-key folk album this interesting, but Will Oldham does it with tunes that come together as much more than just background music.

Wild Beasts, Limbo, Panto – Keeping it real dramatic, Wild Beasts debut a solid and polychromatic sound in the tradition of fey British rock.
Video / Myspace
Vampire Weekend, Vampire Weekend – Another of this year's great debut albums, it promises great things to come from a band who does simple real well.
Video / Myspace
Sigur Rós, Med Sud I Eyrum Vid Spilum Endalaust – The Icelandic quartet spring back to relevance with a sneakily joyful album. The best since their Ágætis Byrjun.

Ladyhawk, Shots – Dark and paranoid without being melodramatic or self-indulgent. A no-bullshit rock album for the young and the restless.

Destroyer, Trouble in Dreams – Dan Bejar follows up his indomitable Rubies with an album that's as sweet as it is drunk.
Video / Myspace
TV on the Radio, Dear Science – Probably their most consistently beautiful album since their debut EP Young Liars. Immediate and rousing.
Video / Myspace
Why?, Alopecia – A tangle of hip hop and rock where every lyric is worth rewinding for and catchy hooks are everywhere. Essential for 2008 and beyond.
