I’ve loved this British band a lot since their last album Empire. This is the first single off of their 2009 album West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum called “Vlad the Impaler”. Noel Fielding, who plays Vince in The Mighty Boosh, plays Vlad the Impaler in the video. How can you not love that?
I must warn you who are going to watch this music video that have never seen it, it is very weird and a little creepy. The song is excellent and is one of my favorites of 2009, but the video is just odd. If it creeps you out too much watching it, at least listen to the song.
There’s a few songs that I can’t put my finger on why the hell they are b-sides. “The Fun Machine Took a Shit and Died” is one of those songs. I don’t really know what song on Era Vulgaris I’d replace it with, but I would find a way to fit it on there. I think the only way to find the studio version of this song is on a 7″ single and the extended edition of Era Vulgaris. This video is a rip someone did of the Over the Years and Through the Woods live CD/DVD. If you don’t have that and are a QOTSA fan you need to get it immediately.
About six years ago if you asked me who my favorite band was I wouldn’t have said The Beatles, I wouldn’t have even said Led Zeppelin, I would’ve said Cave In. While they may not be the GREATEST band of all time, their album Jupiter kind of changed the way I looked at music.
I could only find a couple of ‘official videos’ of their songs. The one I like the best is actually just live video with the song played over it. It’s a great song though.
Cave In split up a while ago and have since reformed and released a new EP. Because the new songs are a great representation of their whole catalog I wanted to include a live video of one of them. Enjoy.
This week’s music video of the week is Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds ” Dig! Lazarus Dig!” from the 2008 album of the same name. If you’ve never heard the song before I’ll warn you, the chorus is quite catchy and infectious.
For this week’s music video I give You “Stop” by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club off of their album Take Them On, On Your Own. This is a great song by an amazing band. Listen carefully to the words, I think they’re singing about ‘riding the H-train’. If you disagree say why in the comments.
In an effort to bring music into the mix here at Never Not a Nerd we now have Music Video of the Week.
For the very first week I would like to give you the video for “Oblivion” by Mastodon. It’s off of their album Crack the Skye, which is one of my favorite albums of the year, check it out if you haven’t. Mastodon are also currently on tour with Dethklok from Adult Swim’s Metalocalypse.
