Billy Joel - Miami 2017

This excellent song was released in 1976. A post apocolyptic look at New York. Every is leaving for Miami, the buildings are destroyed and they are watching the military blow up the Hudson Bridge. The album is real good, it is called Turnstiles.

Matt and Kim - Yea, Yeah

The more I watch this video the more I see! Catchy idea to a catchy song. I am loving the whole clean to dirty thing. Their album is just like this song. They are very infectious, but are like a more carefree White Stripes. Their album entitled Grand is out now!

Two Hours Traffic - Stuck For the Summer

This Canadian band put out this superb album last year. It is solid with catchy hooks and lofty lyrics. I recommend this album to anyone who wants some good driving music. The album is called Little Jabs!

Laura Izibor - From My Heart To Yours

Everyone needs some good soul. She seems to have a great sound. Her voice is very nice! Her brand new EP is out now "From My Heart To Yours"

Black Tide - The Freshman

I dont know what to think of these guys right now. But they have my attention. Sebastian Bach's son? The guitarist from Firehouse? I am confused. What year is this? I will be right back I have to go to the record store and buy this album while wearing my flannels and ripped jeans.

M83 - Kim and Jessie Live

I featured this guy last year on ONCE. Then they made my ONCE December best of 2008 list. This album is so cool I cant being to explain it. It is like atmospheric pop. Always dreamy. Always epic. And always mood capturing!

P.O.S. - Drumroll

Wow!! His album comes out in February. I cant wait to get it. I am going have this drum roll in my head all day!

K-os - Man I used to be

Not only is this song awesome! It is a fun video full of rubber legging. This Canadian Rapper put this single out in 2005. I am waiting for his next project. The album is called "Joyful Rebellion". Every song on the album is slick!

Stars - Take Me To The Riot

A great road trip! This band had a super album last year. I look forward to everything they put out! This is from "In the Bedroom After the War".

Los Campesinos - My Year In Lists \ We Are All Excellerated Readers\Death To Los Campesinos!

I am going to check out this band as well in Austin. I cannot wait! They have out out two of my favorite albums in the last year. They have a greta eclectic sound that really cranks! They are from Wales.

Titus Andronicus - Arms Against Atrophy

I am going to check these guys in Austin this weekend. I am loving the album it is so ugly. But if you listen real carefully all of the sudden it comes into focus. His warbly vocals make for the great irish tilt he has going on. Their debut album is out now! I will have a track on the ONCE February 2009 Mixtape.

Nat King Cole - Mona Lisa

This helped the movie of the same name in 1950 become a hit. The song stayed at number one for many weeks. He had a voice that was unlike none other. If you are looking for a great starter album, go to a compilation album entitled "Long Songs" that was released in 1993.

Gonna Get Close To You - Queensryche

This was classic Queensryche. And everyone went nuts about The Police's famous "Every Breath You Take". But that was nothing compared to this creey masterpiece!

Grizzly Bear - He Hit Me (It Felt Like a Kiss) - Live @ UCLA

The Crystals released this around 1960, and the song wasnt big. But others have picked it up and done their own version, It is a strange song about advocating domestic abuse. Produce at the time by the legendary Phil Spector.

Devildriver - Not All Who Wander

DevilDriver - Headbangers Ball - New Music - More Music Videos

My friend Nate made me a big fan of this band. Which was strange because the singer came from Coal Chamber which I didnt like. But man I have never heard a drummer hit the double bass more than this guy. The music is always octane fueled and blistering fast!

The Ting Tings - Not My Name

The Ting Tings - New Music - More Music Videos

The Tings Tings have really gotten cool in the last few months. Just last week I caught their performance on the Yo Gabba Gabba show. And now a new video! All hail Wales!

Lykke Li - Tonight

This song is a great one from her new album. Plus the whole black and white solid shot thing really reminds me of a certain bald headed singer who wanted to let me know that know one compared to me!

We Versus the Shark: Live from Studio A

This band absolutely rocks! They just released a new album in November 2008. Grab it! This was filmed at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas.

Conor Oberst - Souled Out!!!

A great new solo album from the man behind Bright Eyes. If you love those albums his solo album should be a natural extension of your collection.

Charlie Louvin - Ira

Charlie and Ira Louvin were a top act back in the 50's and 60's. They made close harmonies popular. Back in 1965 Ira passed away in a car accident. Now Charlie carries on without him. He has a great new album out called "Charlie Louvin Sings Ballads and Disaster Songs". This is a song about his brother and how much he misses him.

Retreat Retreat - 65 Days of Static

This band is great! They are messy and dirty but at the same time oh so clear! They are out of Sheffield, England.

Los Campesinos - You! Me! Dancing!

This is the best track of 2008 in my opinion! Great animation and a song that just keeps growing on itself until it is this full monster!

CAVALERA CONSPIRACY - Sanctuary (UN-censored)

Should these guys be making music or horror movies?! This is so cool!! In case you dont know Cavalera Conspiracy is the founding brothers of Sepultura.

Erykah Badu - Honey

This is off her brand new album entitled New Amerykah Part One (4th World War). In this video she envisions herself in every classic hip hop record you can think of!

Under the Pines - Bodies of Water

Bodies of Water are fairly new. But if they keep making videos like this it wont be long before they dominate MTV!

Ronnie Milsap Live in Branson - Smokey Mountain Rain

Was there ever a better country artist when it came to crafting stories! he started out as Elvis's piano player in his Vegas days. Then went on to craft 15+ number one hits as a solo artist. Got to love that hair!

Movie Etiquette - Mastadon

This was the beginning of the Aqua Teen Hinger Force movie! Mastadon shows us why they are the hardest rockers in the industry!

Wu-Tang Clan - Protect Ya Neck

This is the song that made me a life long fan. I love how all these guys can come together and create such a classic track!

Glas Vegas - Daddy's Gone

This band out of Scotland have a great self titled debut album! From his quaint Scottish accent to the great lyrics, this band has it all going on now. This is a sad song involving missing his dad.

Saul Williams - Niggy Tardust

This fan generated video for the title track off of William's "The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of NiggyTardust!" A perfect visual to go with the lyrics of the song.

Randy Newman - Sail Away

Never been a huge fan. But lately I am realizing his genius for writing music. He is like a Billy Joel!
