Radiohead - Amnesiac Live Performances »

I’ve already done OK Computer & Kid A. Now it’s time for Amnesiac which I’ve always thought was an underrated album. No, I don’t think it’s as great as Kid A - but few albums are.
I think because many of the songs were recorded in the same sessions as Kid A and that it […]

Radiohead’s Kid A - Live Performances »

Once - many moons ago I did a post including live Radiohead performances of every song on OK Computer (save “Fitter Happier” of course.)
Today it’s Kid A’s turn. Kid A may just be my favorite Radiohead album if it’s not OK Computer or In Rainbows anyway.
Kid A was released in 2000, 3 years […]

Live Ween »

The other day I posted some Ween music videos. I found that there isn’t very many of them around. Not sure if they just haven’t made very many fo them, or if they haven’t made it online. But anyway, there’s a lot more live Ween. So… Here it is. Some of my favorite songs by […]

Michael Jackson Turned 50 Today »

I almost missed it as the day is nearly over (at least here on the East coast) but today is Michael Jackson’s 50th birthday. He was born on July 18, 1958. Some interesting perspective; he’s more than 3 years older than Democratic Presidential nominee Barack Obama.
I won’t go through the whole Michael Jackson biography […]

Ween Music Videos »

I’m a pretty huge fan of Ween’s music. But I realized today I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Ween music video. Maybe the same is true for you. So I’ve dug some up.

“Voodoo Lady”

“Freedom pf ‘76″

“Push Th’ Little Daisies”

Actually, that’s all of the official music videos I can find. Lots of fan made ones, […]

Yellow Submarine Premiered On June 17, 1968 »

It was 40 years ago today that The Beatles animated feature film Yellow Submarine premiered at The London Pavilion. The Beatles themselves had very little to do with the film (other than the music of course.) They made a cameo appearance at the very end of the movie but they did not voice their characters. […]

Radiohead - House Of Cards Music Video »

Radiohead’s newest music video: “House of Cards” (In Rainbows.)

“No cameras or lights were used. Instead, 3D plotting technologies collected information about the shapes and relative distances of objects. The video was created entirely with visualizations of that data.”

Three Delicious Albums From 1996 »

The Olivia Tremor Control - Dusk At Cubist Castle
Not only one of my favorite albums of 1996 (if not my very favorite) also one of my favorite albums of the decade. It’s a truly epic psychedelic masterpiece that is not known by nearly enough people. I feel like the pied piper for The Olivia Tremor […]
