Rawb's Weekend: Day Two: Venetian Snares: Szamár Madár

Venetian Snares: Szamár Madár


Again, I don't remember ever hearing about this group before Rawb showed me this video... SO far, this is the best song of theirs that I've heard, but I still haven't heard many.

I really liked this video. It definitely took some talent to create, as it's all 3D animation. Good work!

Rawb's Weekend: Day One: Santogold: L.E.S. Artistes

Santogold: L.E.S. Artistes


My good friend Rawb also has a good taste in music, so he gets his own weekend too...

I had never heard of Santogold before. I really enjoyed this song and the video is pretty radical. I really don't know how else to describe it...

Grandaddy: 180 A.M.

Grandaddy: 180 A.M.


Grandaddy is feel good music. I think Taylor or Erin originally exposed me to them.

Mirah: Archipelago

Mirah: Archipelago


Nice, soft slow tempo music. Another amateur video, but again, focus on the music!

The Knife: Heartbeats

The Knife: Heartbeats


I first heard this song as an acoustic cover by Jose Gonzalez last year. I don't think I could decide which version I like better, they are so different.

This band has a handful of great hits. I wouldn't mind catching them live sometime, either...

Elbow: One Day Like This

Elbow: One Day Like This


Here's some relatively brand new music for you my friends. Again, I don't know much about this band. I know that they are from the UK and again, I know that I like it, but thats about it.


I want one a them condos now...

M83: Don't Save Us From the Flames

M83: Don't Save Us From the Flames


I don't know much about this band... except that I like them.


Oh and Rawb, this would be one more for the exception list of "all bands with numbers in the name suck". That was accidental actually. But for those keeping tally... thats a total of four bands (buck 65 (posted a while ago, before this topic was brought about), four tet, jurassic 5, and m83) that are an exception to the rule.

Just my opinion, anyway.

Jurassic 5: Freedom

Jurassic 5: Freedom


One of the best hip-hop groups ever. One of the best hip-hop albums ever. Proof that not all bands with numbers in the name suck... although, like I said... it's pretty much true. think about it.



Hold on to this feelin... freedom!

Four Tet: Smile Around the Face

Four Tet: Smile Around the Face


A friend of mine has said that any band with a number in their name is bad. This weekend I'll attempt to prove exceptions to that rule... But he is pretty much right.

This video, however, is very good. It shows a different emotion than the original one I always thought of when I heard this song before seeing this, but it works. Both do. This song is very well rounded, in my opinion.

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds: Dig, Lazarus, Dig!

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds: Dig, Lazarus, Dig!


Nick Cave has definitely changed his style over the years, but most do. I have to say, I am more of a fan of his earlier music, but I can still dig this...

Flaming Lips: Free Radicals

Flaming Lips: Free Radicals


This song and video are about greed to me (especially the video). Greed eats up everything. Greed for money, greed for popularity, greed for acceptance, greed to fit in.


So lame that society really is like this...

Wolfmother: White Unicorn

Wolfmother: White Unicorn


This is a clip from the snowboard film "Draw the Line", which is one of my favorite films. Really clean shots, clean riding, just all around good. I wish I owned it... by the way this is where I first heard wolfmother. I wasn't a huge fan at first, although I liked this track with the rider segment. It grew on me, obviously.

By the way, Jeremy Jones is one of the best big mountain riders you will ever see. If I could handle one of those descents burly alaskan descents, I'd be pretty happy with myself.

Jim Noir: Eanie Meany

Jim Noir: Eanie Meany



Something about the simplicity of this songs attracts me to it...

I also enjoyed the video; simple effects with playful soccer... what's not to love? I mean really...

Built To Spill: Goin Against Your Mind

Built To Spill: Goin Against Your Mind


This band is has been a round a lot longer than I was originally aware of. They have had a huge influence on many many many bands that have "made it".

Yet another fan video. They have produced videos, but I liked this song, and I liked the drawing that was created with it, so it made the cut.

Devendra Banhart: Feel just like a child

Devendra Banhart: Feel just like a child


Sometimes I do just feel like a child...

Devendra Banhart has some very weird music, albeit quite enjoyable. Kinda political, kinda drug influenced, kinda hippie, kinda entirely awesome.

The Velvet Underground: Rock and Roll

The Velvet Underground: Rock and Roll


I think I discovered my love of this band by accident...

I was downloading music back in the day, and I got bored and ran out of bands and songs to search for, so I just typed in "rock and roll". Boy am I glad I did. That summer, this was the song you could hear me playing constantly. I made everyone listen to them... Good times.

Wu Tang Clan: Life Changes

Wu Tang Clan: Life Changes


This is a tribute track to the late O.D.B. It's a great song that actually shows emotion and reality as opposed to most mainstream rap...

Crystal Castles: Trash Hologram

Crystal Castles: Trash Hologram


I don't remember where I heard these guys originally... But it was very recently. I like their style. By the way, I am pretty sure this is another fan video, although I'm not really sure. Also, if you are on any sort of heavy drug, I probably wouldn't watch this if I were you.

U-Ziq: Goodbye Goodbye

U-Ziq: Goodbye Goodbye


I just heard about this dj. So far I haven't heard anything I didn't like. This is a fan video.

Here is a longer, better fan video of this song. It's embedding ability was disabled.

R.E.M: Bad Day

R.E.M: Bad Day


It really has been a bad day.

I'm going to miss you...
