"Greatest Hits"

Here's a perfect pop song by the English band Mystery Jets. It's "Greatest Hits" -- a breakup song about splitting up a record collection. And yes, Mark E. Smith of the Fall is name-checked. It's only July, but this song is bound to make my best of the year list. Pay special attention to the little homages they do after some of the albums -- like The Village Green Preservation Society, Country Life (with the tribute to "The Thrill of it All" and Band on the Run (with the  tribute to "Jet".)  Enjoy!



By the way, a few years back, Mystery Jets released a catchy singalong called "Two Doors Down" and the video is a pure time machine back to 1983, both musically (sax solo?!?) and visually.
