Radiohead – Hail To The Thief Live Performances »

Today I’m continuing with my series of live versions of Radiohead albums. I’ve already done OK Computer, Kid A, and Amnesiac. Unlike those albums I was actually able to find a live performance of every song on this album. 2003′s Hail to the Thief is usually seen as a bit of a dip by most [...]

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 [...]

Never for Ever by Kate Bush »

This is an interesting little slice of musical heaven; it is essentially like a part-time job down at the local corner grocery market, get what I mean? It is like waking up at 10:00 P.M. in your sister’s clothes, reading the bible in slow-mo. Seriously, this record is quite the turning point for young Miss [...]

Cat Stevens Turns 60 »

Cat Stevens was born as Steven Demetre Georgiou on July 21, 1948 in London. In the late 1960s and into the 1970s, Stevens had many hits as a singer-songwriter. Among his biggest hits were “Wild World,” “Father and Son,” “Peace Train,” “Morning Has Broken,” “The First Cut Is The Deepest,” & “Moon Shadow.”” “Moon Shadow” [...]

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 [...]

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.” “Making Of” And check out this interactive 3D version: Click Here!
