Bob Sinclar - Rock This Party

i saw this video for the first time last week via a report from pitchfork that stated an impromptu pavement reunion included a cover of this song. this song and video are tops.

Sesame Street - Cripple Creek

I Don't Want To Talk About It

I love following the perfect songs from version to version over time. These Days, Willin', Ruby, etc. - so many of them. This one was written by Danny Whitten, founding member of Crazy Horse. The orig can be heard on their self titled LP. Whitten was in bad shape and lost himself to drugs and depression so early - he would have been a bigtime dude if he had it together. This Rod version sort of cracks me up. Ian Matthews does a great version, too.

ya ho wa 13

so... apparently the remaining, non-messiah-who-died-surfing members of ya ho wa 13 are playing johnny brendas in a few weeks... does anyone know if this would be worth going to?

fever ray

i don't know much about this band. i think they're from sweden. the video is more effectively creepy than most stuff of its sort though, and the song kinda appeals to the part of me that wants to listen to kate bush all day long (even if it veers a little too close to trip-hop for my tastes).

Smokie - Take Good Care of My Baby

hey sam mendes this message is for you.

the silent majority speaks out

you know shit is getting bad when a CNBC stock market report turns into a bizarro-world free market rallying cry, and makes for good youtube fodder. wall street is storming the bastille!
