I was driving in my car this afternoon listening to the radio, which is already unusual as I usually listen to my iPod while driving. Anyway, the DJ has an in-studio guest who I hear doing a swing version of Van Halen’s song “Jump”. It was awesome because it works on the comedic/ironic level of [...]

Some guy has always wanted to be in his own music video, so he creates his own, totally radical version of Working for the Weekend (Embedded QuickTime). Pure adrenaline baby! Whatever happened to Loverboy anyway? Now, somebody get a camera and do Separate Ways (Worlds Apart).

I’m pretty sure that Everything I Need To Know I’ve Learned From Iron Maiden is a complete put-on, but I don’t care. When I get in my car today, I’m totally going to cue up Alexander the Great. His name struck fear into hearts of men you know. When I was listening to that song [...]

You know, I was blown away the first time I saw the “Games Without Frontiers” video. There was something so strange about seeing little kids dressed up like adults at a dinner party. I just saw the video for “Y Control” by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. That video is MESSED UP. Little kids dragging a [...]

For the longest time, I haven’t come across any music that seemed very interesting to me. And, the truth is that I don’t really go out looking for it too much anymore. I’m sure it’s out there somewhere. I just saw the video for Girl Anachronism by The Dresden Dolls. Wow! There’s this tense kind [...]

Man, that new Counting Crows song from the Shrek 2 Soundtrack is trying so hard to be an Elvis Costello song it borders on painful. I actually like a bunch of the Counting Crows stuff, and I love love LOVE Elvis Costello. Those two just do not go well together though. As long as I’m [...]

Monkey was an old Japanese show that spawned the infinitely remixable Monkey Magic. Reminds me a little of Queens “Flash Gordon” only you know with monkeys and stuff. How can you not love a song with a throw away line like “You’re not a god, you’re a birthday cake!”? If anybody has a video to [...]

A few weeks ago, somebody turned me on to the music of Bob Schneider. He was playing at the Roxy, so tonight I headed up to check him out. Now, even though it was only like 8 PM, I have to confess I was feeling a bit tired as I got in my car, got [...]

I’d never heard of Bob Schneider until somebody linked his site off of MeFi. I’m really liking it though. I’m not sure if it’s the music (although that sounds great in a Pete Yorn, Rocker Singer Songwriter kind of way) or the sense of humor/interesting interface that the site seems to have. It’s all flash [...]
