Former Ghosts

This video, while so awesome, gives me terrible anxiety. I think its the peanut butter...

Townes

As far as songwriting goes, it doesn't get much better than this.

Say Hello, Wave Goodbye

Oh Marc Almond, I think we can all relate



And if you are feeling especially emo, check out (and download)  David Gray's cover of "Say Hello, Wave Goodbye"

Pumping Iron

Jarvis Cocker and Jason Buckle formed Relaxed Muscle in 2002. I'm not much of a Pulp fan, but this i can get into

cellos hold the key to my heart

I was going to title this post "Rasputina vs Apocalyptica", but I think its clear who the winner is.



below is my favorite track (which you can also download by clicking that arrow thingy on the soundcloud player)

wiser

What the fuck was I doing in 2007 that made me miss this show?

ADULT. - Turn Your Back (Live!) from Danny Kim on Vimeo.

Beth Gibbons & Rustin Man

The track is haunting. The video, eh, not so much. But at the end of the day, its about the music.

Silky smooth

If you are around next Thursday (3/10) and find yourself with nothing to do, head to The Smell and check out Silk Flowers. They will also be at The Echo 3/13, but lets face it-The Smell is cheaper, and you are guaranteed to be one of only 12 people in attendance.

My anthem


Did I write this song? No. Lydia Tomkiw and her husband Don Hedeker did. They were the visionaries that made up Algebra Suicide. Lydia died in 2007. My only hope is that this song was played (at least part of it) at her funeral.

Just the right amount of uncomfortable

Its insane to think that in all my years of Tool lovin', I waited until today to look up their videos. Yes, I am a lover of Tool. And proud of it.

Austra.

Just watch and listen. My only issue with this video is that I was not asked to participate.

Wake up wake up wake up...its the first of the month

Great video from FrYars for their 2009 "Visitors". Watch closely and you'll catch glimpses of Dave Gahan from Depeche Mode (he is also singing on the chorus)
