Each week when I look for a video I try to think of a song I really love. A lot of the time those songs don’t have music videos though. In the case of “Restless” by Unkle featuring Josh Homme from Queens of the Stone Age there’s no official video. I think they had some type of contest for fans to make their own video as I found two, and one is listed as the runner-up. Both of them are under the cut.
Though they have ‘fallen off’ a little bit recently, The Mars Volta used to be a very strong and wild band. This, Deloused in the Comatorium, their first full-length album, is proof of that. Things did get a little wilder after this album, but this is definitely one of their best. This is a recommended headphone listen for sure. And, for RHCP fans, Flea plays bass on this album.
I usually post a video for a song I think is really good, even if the video is decent. This time however, I’m posting an amazing video for a pretty good song. I wonder how many tries it took them to shoot this. Video for “This Too Shall Pass” under the cut.
You NEED to see this video.
I’ve said this before; I love Cave In. They’re one of my all-time favorite bands. This was Cave In’s fourth full length album. It was their second space-rock album and first and only album for RCA. After releasing this they toured with the Foo Fighters and were more popular than ever before. I don’t know any Cave In fan that would claim this to be their favorite of all of their albums, but it’s still very solid. Music player under the cut
This is almost at the point where you can say ” This late, what is his deal?”. But, I figure as long as it’s before the Academy Awards it’s still OK to post year-end lists for the previous year. Plus, after Taylor Swift won the Grammy for Album of the Year I knew I needed to write something.
For the first time ever I am posting a video of a song on a yet to be released album. Here is the video for “Scissor” By Liars, off of their album Sisterworld, which will be released March 8th.
This is kind of old news now, but MTV has decided to remove the words “Music Television” from underneath its logo. It’s one of those things that’s sad, but you’ve seen it coming now for years. I wasn’t particularly a fan of the type of music MTV would back when they did play music videos, but they’ve replaced that time with shows like The Hills and Jersey Shore, two shows in which they cite the success of as being part of the reason for the change.
This week’s music is the great 2004 album Talkie Walkie by Air. That’s supposedly not women singing on those tracks. It’s thin French men. I don’t understand why they’re wearing leather gloves on the album cover either.
I watched all of last Saturday’s Saturday Night Live mostly just to see Them Crooked Vultures perform two songs on the show. I can’t really say the two songs they did were my favorites from their album, but thanks to that show and Hulu there are now some videos of them online that don’t sound bad. Video of them playing “New Fang” under the cut.
It’s that time again. This weeks album is Dig! Lazarus Dig! by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. This album is really great. The first track is so catchy and infectious. You’ll be singing it or humming the tune later on for sure. Music player under the cut.
