This is the video for 16 Shades of Black off of Fujiya & Miyagi’s 4th album ‘Ventriloquizzing.‘ In this vid, F & M use these sinister little buggers, ventriloquist’s dummies.

1 CommentBring the Light Beady Eye is the new project from Oasis, sans Noel Gallagher. Liam and the boys have recorded this 60s inspired piano led rock track, thats loose and fast.
