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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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, […]

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.”
“Making Of”

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 […]

The Nowhere Man EP featured 4 songs from 1965’s Rubber Soul. It was released just a month before their next album, Revolver. Quite a curious release considering that the songs had already been released on Rubber Soul quite some time ago and Revolver was about to come out. I’m guessing it was their record company […]

The Beatles 1966 single “Paperback Writer” has always been one of my favorite Beatles rock n roll tracks. Here’s a few reasons why:
+ The main guitar riff rocks.
+ The bass is bad ass.
+ The harmonies are insane.
+ The crazy reverb on the vocals.
+ “Frere Jacques.”
If you don’t know what I mean by “Frere Jacques” listen […]

Somehow I had missed this video for Beck’s “1000 BPM” when it first came out. It’s one of my favorite tracks on 2006’s The Information and this video is sweet. Check it out:
1 CENT CD: The Information [CD & […]
