Hank sang a duet with Eddie Argos of Art Brut a while ago – Eddie has posted it up here:

But the reason for this post is that for various reasons it took me a while to get round to exploring the rest of Art Brut’s back catalogue and now I’ve done so I think they are fucking brilliant. Evidently, plenty of people already know this, but on the other hand, why aren’t they on Top of the Pops every week??? They probably are in that wonderful imaginary universe where Top of the Pops still exists, of course.
Anyhow if you don’t know their stuff, Formed a Band is a great place to start.
