First things first - YUM*. That is some nice artwork for Evil Nine's new album, which features the likes of Beans (yes, yes, yessssss), has a song intriguingly called Luke Goss and is called They Live. It is a high-concept cosmic zombie disco record which conspires to make you insanely giddy and yet has a sense of humour. ARE YOU LISTENING, DANCE BORES? Anyway, it is a graveyard smasheroo.

For seconds, get a load of this - a brilliant and amusing videothing that Evil Nine have done to accompany the title track. It is chock full of robot voiced menace and sounds like Daft Punk might have done had they been brain-quaffing un-deaders rather than shiny sexdiscotrons.

The big idea for the video is that PEOPLE WHO WORK IN OFFICES ARE LIKE ZOMBIES. Readers, let us not forget that there is a fine line between writing songs about The Man (goblins of The Enemy) / how life is one big, having-a-job-nightmare with too much CCTV and stresszzzzzzzz (Hard Fi) and patronising the bumhole off your listeners. In any event, Evil Nine tread this line with aplomb.

For pudding, here is one of Evil Nine dressed as a zombie security guard. It is gratifying to see that they have bothered to 'really run with' the video concept. Although we are deducting points for shoddy gaps in the zombie make up. Romero would not stand for that kind of shit, and neither will we.

For your Irish coffee, we want you to go onto Evil Nine's myspace page now, now, NOW and listen to the They Live remixes. They are bonkers-o-clock and will provide you with a handy soundtrack for when you are getting ready to go out this weekend. The one by Rogerseventytwo has lots of Frenchy filtered house bits on it and is superb.

Lastly, for an ill-advised 'OMG you are like totally going to get gout' cheese board, download THIS (right click for PC or Ctrl click for mac), the righteously good, spooky mixtape what Evil Nine have done. It is called Evil Nine's VHS Halloween Party 2008 and has a load of horror soundtrack gubbins on it. We promise that the po-lice will not eat your brains/put you away for being a Knock-Off Nigel if you download it.

*Apropos of nothing and on the subject of yum, we should tell you that we do THE BEST impression of Spike out of Gremlins saying 'yum, yum'. If you reckon you can beat us, email a soundclip to crap at thelipster dot com and we will have some sort of yum-off.
