The groovy theme behind this Long Blondes video is a celebration of the unapologetically single life, best summarized by singer Kate Jackson's refrain, "Guilt has nothing to do with it." Directors Abby Warrilow and Lewis Gourlay place the emotionally detached Jackson amidst some dogs and owners at an agility course. Perhaps the notion that one can have just as good a life committed to some four-legged friendship as the two-legged kind, or maybe it's some kind of love that dare not speak its name. Either way, the video resonates with a savvy coolness that fits the song's upbeat, ultrahip groove. [review by Ced Esters] --> watch "Guilt" via YouTube or MySpace (better quality)
