MUSIC RECOMMENDATION: Gaylips - Betamax Vs VHS (Video)

 

Gaylips present Betamax Vs VHS, a song to stir up that old debate amongst tech anoraks or...? Well, maybe it is easier if I just let the band explain: 

"Go back to bed, the battle is over. Betamax and VHS are no more. The internet won and changed everything. Welcome to the world of Everybody vs. Everybody Else. Opinions buzz like flies round a discarded, franchised Mr Beast burger on a Watford street. And they’re all equal in their nonsense. This modern world shitshow required a soundtrack, so here it is.

Betamax vs. VHS is the squeaky, shiny-new-school-shoes single from Gaylips. Bass, drums, and vocals mastered in three takes in a studio not far from a service station with a KFC. Some think we’re punk, but to be honest, we’ve got no time and one of the girlfriends is mightily pissed off. Welcome to Betamax vs. VHS – Modern Life vs. Art – Polyester vs. 100% Cotton. We’ll leave you with one question to ponder: Does Ben Fogle even exist if no one is there to see him drink pine needle tea?"

Now they've cleared that up, here's the video:
