Where the Hell is Matt?

I remember watching this video years ago, and being incredibly jealous. I thought it was a really cool idea.

Ben Folds Plays Chatroulette Piano Ode to Merton

This is freaking great!

Bansai Tree

Diego Stocco - Music From A Bonsai from Diego Stocco on Vimeo.

My Buddy Nik sent me this link today... pretty cool what people are doing to record music so obscurely these days. I think its pretty interesting how close his mic's have to be to pick up the types of sound he was trying to get.

The Pixies - In Heaven

I really love Kim Deal singing this song. Not that I don't like Frank Blacks rendition, but... you know.

monkey on bikes

Funny.

Bonnie 'Prince' Billy - I'm Loving the Street

This is one of my favorite Bonnie Prince Billy Songs. He's got a very unique sound that I can really appreciate in the midst of everything else.

Counting Down the Hours - Ted Leo and the Pharmacists

I think this was one of the first songs I had liked enough to make a note of when I first started listening to KEXP back in 2004. The group brings a good energy to their tunes, and it makes you want to bop your head a bit.

Always a good thing, I think. Right?

Pavement - Gold Soundz

One of my favorite Pavement songs. This was my summer 2005 anthem. I listened to it over and over again while I delivered pizzas day and night.

I love when songs place you in an exact moment in your past (well, I love it most of the time anyways). That summer was a lot of fun. It had been a pretty bad winter and spring for me, so it was nice to see things turn around. Because of that, this song will always put a smile on my face.

The Brian Jonestown Massacre - Jesus

Anton Newcombe is one wild man. If you like this band, I'd recommend seeing Dig! The Documentary that follows The Brian Jonestown Massacre and more importantly gives you a peak into Anton's mind and life.

...Hell, even if you don't like them, the film is pretty dang good.

Dan Auerbach: "Heartbroken, In Disrepair"

Guy from the Black Keys releases some solo project stuff... Pretty good!

I don't think I've posted this yet... ?

Billy Ocean - Get out of my dreams get into my car

To honor the Late Corey Haim...

Nosaj Thing

Muppets do "For What It's Worth"

What a powerful song. You've probably heard it in at least 5 different box office hit movies... and probably hundreds of other places.

This adaptation of it is so great. I move the muppet show --their ability to create meaningful stories out of just about anything doesn't stop short here. This piece is one of my favorite covers they've ever done.

Girlfriends

Jerry Joiner. What a name! This guy is From Pullman Washington, right across the border from me. He calls his project Girlfriends and he's an incredibly talented individual. The intensity and energy he brings to his music is hard to find matched anywhere else. His sound is unique and building, something that most one man bands seem to lack.

He's recorded two albums, one self-titled and the other 'Girlfriends (reverse)' -- where all songs on the original album have been recorded backwards. I'll be trying to get my hands on both as soon as I can.


Here's to hoping Jerry gets noticed soon... he's got the talent to take himself places with his music.

Outkast - Rosa Parks

Throwin it back to the MTV days of middle school...

Brazilian Girls REMIX ,by- Ki Theory

This has totally been the song of the day for me... "just want good times"
