London's South are releasing Up Close And Personal, a retrospective DVD collection of live performances, videos, and behind-the-scenes clips. Last April saw them release Adventures in the Underground Journey to the Stars, and plans are underway to continue touring the U.S. with the Strokes. Highly underrated, and more than a little overlooked on this side of the pond, perhaps this clip from the DVD will give you some reason to check them out.

Q: If you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be? A: A shoe tree.
Q: What's your favourite dessert? A: Cherry cheesecake.
Q: Siblings? A: One.
Q: Are you the oldest? A: Yes. Where are you going with this line of questioning?
Q: Nowhere. Are you always this apprehensive when being questioned? A: Just when I'm being questioned by a disembodied interviewer.
Q: Is there any truth to the rumours that you will become the next Prime Minister of Canada? A: All rumours have their origins in the truth. Truth then becomes a matter of perception, which becomes bastardized through cultural bias, urban myth making, and the need to impress others with bits of information that they do not currently possess. Throughout this process, one can clearly see that the lack of faith and commitment to organized religion plays a huge role in influencing the confluence of truth, perception and reality to form new truths, or as often referred to in lay-person terminology, rumours.
Q: Is that a "yes" or "no"? A: What do you think?
Q: I'm the one supposed to be asking the questions here.
