Hot Hot Heat – Goodnight Goodnight

Wow, I was certain that these guys had broken up. The last album I heard from them was the one that the song below is taken from, and that was released more than three years ago. It seems they must have fallen off my radar completely at some point though as there’s apparently another album that I didn’t even know existed. I guess you really do learn something every day.
Goodnight Goodnight is a break-up song. There’s little more to it than that. No hidden meanings, no witty wordplay, nothing bubbling under the surface. It’s your usual girl breaks up with boy, boy gets bitter and throws out her shitty records kind of story. I don’t usually have time for bands putting out straight up, radio friendly rock songs, but Hot Hot Heat are the kind of band that thrive on them. Or they used to be. It could have all gone to hell with the last album for all I know.
