Video: Mystery Jets, ‘Greatest Hits’ Kevin Bronson on June 13th, 2012 Share this:Tweet Click to email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email 0 </p> <p>U.K. pop ensemble <a href="http://mysteryjets.com" target="_blank">Mystery Jets</a> have been a Next Big Thing for about four albums now, their 2006 debut “Making Dens” (released as “Zootime” by Dim Mak in the U.S.) earning a lot of attention, and their ensuing two albums of hooky ditties occasionally exhilarating, consistently witty but mostly merely amiable. For their fourth album “Radlands” (out this month on Rough Trade), they took up residence near Austin, Texas, but only some of the album sounds like it. If you’re a fan of their 2008 U.K. single “Two Doors Down,” the new album’s “The Ballad of Emmerson Lonestar” may shock the senses – maybe not half as much the single “Greatest Hits,” which is awfully painfully shamelessly close to Stealers Wheel’s “Stuck in the Middle With You.” At least Blaine Harrison’s sentiments about shared love of records is relatable. <a href="http://www.jemgoulding.com/" target="_blank">Jem Goulding</a> directed the video.</p> <p><strong>||| Live: </strong>Mystery Jets play June 27 at the Satellite, with the Little Ones supporting.</p> <div id='jp-relatedposts' class='jp-relatedposts' > <h3 class="jp-relatedposts-headline"><em>Related</em></h3> </div> </article> <section class="rail-right" id="featured-rail"> <div class="widget_text" id="text-6"> <div class="textwidget"><a href="https://bit.ly/4jcqs6U" target="blank"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" src="https://i0.wp.com/buzzbands.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/03135810/popularwithus2025-square-1-copy.jpeg?resize=320%2C320&ssl=1" alt="Best of 2025" width="320" height="320"></a></div> </div> </section> <section class="rail-right" id="single-post-rail"> <div class="widget_image_text_widget" id="image_text_widget-11"><h2></h2><div class="widget-content"><img class="image-text-widget-image lazyload" data-src="" width="100%" height="auto" title="Video: Mystery Jets, 'Greatest Hits'" alt="" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block;" /><div class="image-text-widget-text"><a href="http://roadhouse.permanentrecordsla.com/" target="blank"><img loading="lazy" src="https://buzzbands.la/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/permanentrecsA-230203.jpg" alt="Permanent Records" width="300" height="250"></a></div></div></div><div class="widget_image_text_widget" id="image_text_widget-7"><h2></h2><div class="widget-content"><img class="image-text-widget-image lazyload" data-src="" width="" height="" title="Video: Mystery Jets, 'Greatest Hits'" alt="" /><div class="image-text-widget-text"><a href="https://www.physicalmusicproducts.com" target="blank"><img loading="lazy" src="https://buzzbands.la/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/physicalmusicproducts-230531.gif" alt="Best of 2022" width="320" height="320"></a></div></div></div><div class="widget_image_text_widget" id="image_text_widget-8"><h2></h2><div class="widget-content"><a href="https://buzzbands.la/advertising/" target="_blank"><img class="image-text-widget-image lazyload" data-src="" width="100%" height="auto" title="Video: Mystery Jets, 'Greatest Hits'" alt="" /></a><div class="image-text-widget-text"><a href="https://open.spotify.com/user/buzzbandsla?si=bd3b7dc6d4cd44af" target="blank"><img loading="lazy" alt="Spotify" width="320" height="320" src="https://buzzbands.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/14205613/newspotifybanner-231113.jpg"></a></div></div></div> </section> <div class="main-left"> <div id="respond" class="comment-respond"> <h3 id="reply-title" class="comment-reply-title">Leave a Reply<small><a rel="nofollow" id="cancel-comment-reply-link" href="/2012/06/13/video-mystery-jets-greatest-hits/#respond" style="display:none;">Cancel reply</a></small></h3> <form id="commentform" class="comment-form"> <iframe title="Comment Form" src="https://jetpack.wordpress.com/jetpack-comment/?blogid=124734382&postid=43336&comment_registration=0&require_name_email=1&stc_enabled=0&stb_enabled=0&show_avatars=1&avatar_default=mystery&greeting=Leave+a+Reply&jetpack_comments_nonce=4edbbd6779&greeting_reply=Leave+a+Reply+to+%25s&color_scheme=light&lang=en_US&jetpack_version=14.9.1&iframe_unique_id=1&show_cookie_consent=10&has_cookie_consent=0&is_current_user_subscribed=0&token_key=%3Bnormal%3B&sig=ccf808965ae298fabc4d44f2d89e4a1304bc04e2#parent=https%3A%2F%2Fbuzzbands.la%2F2012%2F06%2F13%2Fvideo-mystery-jets-greatest-hits%2F" name="jetpack_remote_comment" style="width:100%; height: 430px; border:0;" class="jetpack_remote_comment" id="jetpack_remote_comment" sandbox="allow-same-origin allow-top-navigation allow-scripts allow-forms allow-popups" >
