**Whats going on**

As Marvin Gaye once beautifully sung...

"Picket lines and picket signs,
Don't punish me with brutality,
Talk to me, so you can see oh,
What's going on, What's going on"

Those lyrics are some what as relevant as they where 30 years ago, although the subject matter is altogether less harrowing. 1971 - Vietnam and poverty, 2011 - Rising tuition costs and a recession. To be totally honest I only chose the song title because it ties in with the bit of an update I have on ML but its always nice to include a bit of trivia.

So what is going on for Mabel Love? Apparently not alot to the outside world but I can assure you we have been working very hard behind the scenes. We have written a batch of new songs, including my own slightly political view on current climates aptly named 'Breaking it all', and we are now in the process of recording them ready to be put on our spaces for anyone who cares to listen.

Now for the real reason for the blog entry...

"Socks - The vid"

We are pleased to announce, and you have probably already seen, that we have a new video out. The video accompanies a live recording of socks and was created by our good friend Mark Bull aka 'Sheriff/Bully'. The video was put together using live footage from our practice room, recording studio and as Violens tour support. As you can see it is a lovely piece of work and we thank him very much for taking the time out of his hectic life of Uni and Monkey's work - Mr Helders you can have him back (for now).

The recording and mixing of the track was all done in house and by the band and I would personally like to thank Meorge Goran for taking the time in the room to mix it.

The video can be viewed on:

Anyway that's it for now. More info coming soon, I will be keeping the traffic up on the mouse hole so be prepared for some more boring/self indulgent rubbish.

Thanks for reading.
