“Not Fair” is one of my favorite tracks off of Lily Allen’s newer album (It’s Not Me, It’s You) so I was excited that it was selected to be the next single. But I just watched the video for it and…meh. It is kind of a cute concept. Lily and her band are dressed up as if they’re appearing on country star Porter Wagoner’s television show, which ran throughout the 1960s and 70s.

I love you, Rick Astley. I love you desperately. 
(Video quality is meh but it’s actually the best I could find) 

My friends and I were drunkenly watching SNL (the only state we ever watch that in) the week that Kings of Leon were the musical guests. But we had missed when they announced the name of the band. Only being vaguely familiar with their music and having no idea what any of them looked like, the only clue was a “KoL” on the drums.
