Delorean Stay Close

Delorean are one of our most (if not the most) favorite Spanish bands. We got hooked to their EP Ayrton Senna last year and they are now ready to release a new album titled Subiza (out worldwide in June...but we'll post a review much earlier). Until then, here's their first track and video to accompany it, Stay Close.

Lady Gaga and Beyoncé ride the Pussy Wagon

I never got into the whole Lady Gaga thing (Madonna has been there ages before her and with far better music). Nevertheless, if you're into Eurotrash music, bullshit lyrics and kitsch appearances, then you'll love her latest video Telephone featuring the multi-non-talented Beyoncé and (the star of the video) the original Pussy Wagon from Kill Bill! Somehow the video got 16 million hits in 4 days...tells you a lot about the musical taste of most people out there, including myself!

Back with ingenting

It's been way too long...but hopefully I'll get back on track. Until then a new Swedish clip for you from ingenting (from Labrador as always). The track is called Dina händer är fulla av blommor (which according to our friend google it may mean 'your hands are full of flowers'). Enjoy...

Fresh Saturday Videos

Fresh videos for you today. First off, an amazingly funny Avett Brothers songs titled Slight Figure Of Speech. I just loved this video so much.


And the new clip from the new Vampire Weekend song titled Cousins, from their upcoming (and highly anticipated) album Contra. Yeap...another non-sense song from Vampire but we love it anyway.

Another video release from Sweden today. It's the new video from Little Big Adventure titled Happiest Times, taken from his latest EP The Hateful Eye. It's on Labrador label, so you know it's worth it!

Titiyo & Moto Boy's Crying Bed

New clip from Swedish duo Titiyo & Moto Boy. The song is titled If Only Your Bed Could Cry and is from their upcoming album Hidden (in 2010). A bit of Antony resemblance here but that's ok...



Ramona Falls Say Fever

Fresh new video today from the incredible Ramona Falls. The track is I Say Fever and is coming from his amazing debut album Intuit. The video is directed by Stefan Nadelman (2003 Sundance short-film prize winner). Enjoy!!

Xaxakes are back and swinging

I just had to post this one since I grew up listening to them. It's the new clip from the return of Xaxakes. The song is called Ponan ta Xeilh mou (My Lips Hurt) and their latest album is titled To Valse Twn Elafiwn (The Deer-Waltz) out on Archangel Music label. Lovely..

Maps are certain that Love will Come

Today's Clip of the Day comes from the Maps' new album Turning the Mind. The song is the beautiful Love will Come and the simple clip I made is from the movie The Go-Getter, starring our beloved Zooey Deschanel. Hopefully YouTube won't delete this one too, like it did to our Editor's clip on our last post!



When the Reverend's Silence is Talking to The Makers

The Reverend Jon McClure and the Sheffield Makers are back with their second album French Kiss in the Chaos (out July 27th). This is their new (bound to be a brit hit) single Silence is Talking. Enjoy!

Cheap Science is Making my Name

I'm trying to give a listen to a number of new records (including Mum and Ape School amongst them) at the moment, but until I find proper time to hear them out and post a couple of reviews, here's a greek tune by Rodes' front man Nikitas Klint (aka Cheap Science). True fun...old school style!



Pony Pony Run Run...Yeah Yeah!

Long time since the last Clip of the Day. This is such a lovely summer tune and video..with all its 80's glory and beats. The new album from Pony Pony Run Run is already out in digital format and is suprisingly interesting. This clip is from their single Hey You. Check it out.

Going Back to Today

Don't ask me how it came to me...I just had the burning desire today to hear a good track; so I had to go back in time with Smashing Pumpkins' Today!

The Team

Athens66 started off as a common project by a bunch of friends but quickly turned into almost a personal blog (although some remains of previous posts can still be found). Currently, the Team has been narrowed down to two members, who besides being old friends and schoolmates share the same joy for Music, Movies, Alcohol and Pro Evolution sessions.

The sole purpose of this blog is to shout out whatever comes in mind about movies, music, reality, fantasy and all the rest. Nothing posted here is to be taken seriously, but then again what is? Since this blog is still quite fresh, we are definitely open to suggestions and directions (although most of them will just be ignored)
