Julian Casablancas




Just heard some pretty killer new music... Julian Casablancas! This is just a preview teaser for his new album. This is worth a listen though. He is the lead singer for teh band "the Strokes", and this is his new solo project... Keep your ears open for this guy!

Follow Me

This post isn't for the music...



An old High school friend (Peter Oliver) just posted this up on Facebook... Never thought I'd really pull something from Facebook to post here.... but to be honest, I've had a few on here now from friends sharing music! Whatever works!

I'm not so much in to the song here, I mean its alright, but the music video... So graphically intense and based on a sweet concept! Makes me wish I knew how to use AfterEffects better than I do now. Sad smiley face.

Mopedin' Around

A couple buddies of mine put this little video together after they picked up an old Honda Moped... Pretty solid work for their efforts (and the song is pretty awesome too)!

I know I know I know I know I know I know...



Bill Withers singing one of his most famous songs...Ain't no Sunshine. Bill Withers has to be one of the most covered artists out there... Okay maybe not, but there are a TON of people who have at the very least recorded a crappy version of them singing one of his songs to upload to youtube or myface or wherever else no one goes to watch them... Anyways, point remains, Bill's good at what he does.

Some more from Bill Withers...

The Big Pink

Just heard this... had to share!



The band is called Velvet. Pretty new as far as I'm aware...

I'm not sure how I feel about the video yet... Its got some really cool editing and some great shots, but it kinda felt like I should have been listening to some heavy metal music video instead of this slower, building indie tune. It's growing on me though... but I still wish the end wasn't an edit every 5-15 frames or less!

Brother Ali



My buddy Jim posted this up where I could see it and well... I liked it. So here it is. Brother Ali is some pretty decent stuff and this is one of my favorite songs of his... from his album, "Champion".

Enjoy!

Larytta



Strange concept for a music video... pretty awesome, but really strange. Larytta is good to listen to late at night or when doing homework... I don't like to listen to much music with lyrics while Working on things, because it tends to distract me... is that true for anyone else?

Anyways, I skipped school today so I thought I'd do something remotely productive...

Free your mind and your ass will follow.

Funkadelic.


Back from 1971... a long jam that drives a pretty simple point that I sometimes need to remind myself to do.
