Sarah McLachlan - River (Official Music Video) - The funniest videos clips are here

daydreamers

simply perfect

the pillow in your pillow case....

late night coincidental tangent.

drawn to the song title :)

heard it on playlist.com first, so i hadnt watched the video.
the video reminded me of the film Elephant... that was based on the killings in columbine. elegantly depicting that particular numbness to killing.

you turn me well

i love her style.. but simultaneously want to yank her by her hair.
and somehow i think its supposed to be that way. :)

re-introduced

to so many things. sensations. disassociativeness. transcending time and space..

cheers to happy trailings and higher journeys....and to DM for coming along for the ride.

bring it!

I saw these guys with a dear friend last night and i am not a fighter.. most would say im a lover hippy chic. And some would assume that this music wouldnt instigate a fight, but a kick to my friends shin, and the dukes went up. first fight in nyc.. williamsburg to top it off, fucking hipsters. eventhough i think this band isnt that great, they will forever be close to my heart... :)
ahhh, memories..

and yes.. i got the better hits in :)

yay for buses!

Air - Playground Love
by carlafairy

boy.. you turn me

love type thing

unlike me..

Flyleaf - All Around Me

i remember when this song came out.. and im still not a huge fan but everytime i come across i take the moment to lisetn to it. maybe its her barefoot grey dress amongst white walls, sound and paint.

its been a while..

but now its time to get away.. from .. me :)

fucking brilliant!

just "damn" on so many levels.

mr.elliott

mmhmmmm

lonely sidewalk tune

they can be sadly neccessary

i'm hit!.. and you're IT!

The nice thing about this catalogue is ill look back and think "wtf?" or "wow, why'd i ever stop listening to this?" but right now, it gets my blood pumping :)

...eyes that know me

The film will never leave my heart. a universal display of love, music, and beauty.

Koyaanisqatsi: Life out of Balance

i should be ashamed. It is epic, by score, by film, by message.

Is it just me, or does this guy have an uncanny resemblance to Clock Work Orange's Alex DeLarge.

Nine Inch Nails - New Music - More Music Videos

I don't usually write more than a line or two for any band/artist, but this man, this collective, was a true inspiration (along with REM & Depeche Mode) to my art and writing and sexual energy during my ripe teenage years. As he was to so many others. :)

rumor has it...

he won me with a beebop seranade

a great drunken mistake indeed. ill have to follow this duo about. SCORE!

Leonard Cohen - Dance Me To The End Of Love

It is a sin that Mr.Cohen had not made it into VC. phew :)

reminiscing cinn

such a sucker for fuscia, and dont get me started on yellow! :)

yay for .. me and youuuuuuuu

time to carry your weight sister! :))

to get past the banter go to 1:00.

back to before

absolutely devine.

used to be some great acoustic on this site...

a really fun song, recorded on her sofa I think, someone walks in midway and waves while she smiles. how great is that.


And not to discount her proper art.


I couldn't pick just one -- greedy thing that I am.

Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

I Have A Thing For Music That Doesn't Take Itself Too Seriously...

... well, I have a thing for music in general, so maybe the problem starts there.

this chick -- whhicked. don't judge it. sit through it at least once, end to end. your head will nod or foot will tap, or, like me, you'll dance in place cause this song gets me there. it gets at you.

panoramic Overload

while searching "graffiti blog" i found...

so i figured it needed a soundtrack and youtubed "panoramic music"

Hot Chip - New Music - More Music Videos

Tee tar toe, we beat 'em all in a row

the track's hook sits in your head. maybe my brain is leaning reggae. some supa cat next, maybe -- maybe not. we'll see.

No Video Anywhere... I've looked.

ok. an odd post, cause I know the standard is to post a video, but there isn't a single one on this song anywhere.

There are videos of their other tracks, but not this one, and i'm about this track. so its a bit of scavenger hunt, but you get the door prize of an mp3 at the end of the trail of bread crumbs.

Hear It.
go here a listen to My Toys Like Me's Superpower

Get It.
The mp3 of the song is on the hardcandy site for free download.

Turn It.
way, way, way up.

simple girl wednesday :)

modern Greek Sirens?

I shouldnt be surprised that it took a group of blurry women to deliver that mythological ghostly sound.

A haunting rendition to an ever so haunting song.

This age will be know as...

...the poser invasion, and at its fore front will be this show, and this song. But the song is sooooo good.

interjections

sometimes they come by (pleasant) surprise :)

its like being transported back into 1987 -- and that's ok.

Blood blood blood.... blood is rushing

play me loud please.

I can't remember if I've posted this already, but its in me. video is here because embedding is disabled.

and when it rains / you're shining down for me

ahhhhhh! :)))))

i tried to do handstands for yoU!


P.S. summer sun has given me a natural kaleidoscope of laughter, good cheer and happiness.

4. and be fucking persistent about what you've got your mind set on.

Now Its Just Me / Against The Pharmacy

couldn't wait to put this up...

and now, back to our regularly scheduled programming...

Diggin' In The Crates...

(An ideal opportunity to put my useless information to work)
I was going to lead with Rap-O-Clap-O, by Joe Bataan (the first hip hop song on wax), but wanted something a little more memorable.


And there is the obvious classic; originally recorded by Strafe, but the record company didn't like it, so they gave it to Harlequin Four, who made this little travesty. The original survived and was a massive hit, to our collective benefits.


And because I can't make up my mind for anything, I'm including the original seed, the beat that started it all thanks to GC Coleman and the Winstons; It starts at ~1:43 and goes on for six whole seconds. there is the most amazing documentary on youtube about the history of the amen break.

is it here yet?!?

monday the train was late... tuesday,... she messed up your head :)

A Little Balance...

so i'm tapping into my roots for a short rough neck detour.


ok, so I didn't really come up that way, and Tim Dogg lives in LA now. Also, I hate the bronx, it should be bombed and everyone there would agree with me.

Special Ed, Kwame and everything prince paul touched was more my thing, and of course this little gem:

and she goes... nobody knows

stop an animation + morning bed sun = beautiful daydream. :)

oh she's fun...

watch and listen, you'll need to forgive some audio problems, her voice is too big for the room. Now put her in a studio and see what happens.


beyonce's writers intentionally go for loopy, simplistic songs. Who'd a thunk the song would sound better acoustic.

its been a while, but I think this gets me back on my game...

...and makes up for the extended absence (or so I hope :-D .)

perfectly perfect :)

cabaret ballads are fun.. they are a great band and i'll redeem them soon here after with other posts. great live. :)

how many cans!?!?!?

sometimes size does matter. :)

...

And when the groove is dead and gone (yeah)
You know that love survives
So we can rock forever, on

I wanna rock with you
I wanna groove with you
I wanna rock with you
I wanna groove with you

...

short and sweet! :))

something in this air! reaping on Happy!

love-title week! :)

yes, kinda silly.. but he's so pretty and happy i couldn't resist.

i love finding good music

this has potential. santigold, empire of the sun, mgmt, the eighties sound making a return and its great.

... Who suspect they could never love anyone...

I'm almost disappointed in myself for not posting this earlier.

i do love the summer :)

na na nana nana

God I Love Cellos

It isn't right to put Damian Rice & List Hannigan and Nina Simone up on the same day -- damn near criminal. But its a great version of the song, and Lisa Hannigan's voice in this is hypnotic.



live from abbey road is bad ass.

Artist vs. Entertainer

There are very few things I wouldn't give up to have been in the audience when this was performed. I can feel her energy over a recorded video, so it must be paralyzing for the audience. She's unparalleled.

Thank Miss Dodd :)

geez

oh please just last

forever giving record :)

rainy day special

a little rewind.

...time f'r turning over and over
time f'r turning four leaf clover

COver Of John Lennon's Mirame

No COver does it justice...

What is the sound of ten thousand voices...

i really need to believe..

There's a Melba Moore Version...

...but I really dig Archie Bell & the Drells

The name of the song is... pure coincidence.

Another in the throwback series.
Incestuous Music Is Magic.
This is what happens when jellybean benitez remakes a 1975 babe ruth track inspired by a 1968 movie soundtrack.

Dancer in the Dark

Top Ten: Bjork + Lars Von Trier = still fucking amazing.

cal-exico!

such a great record, but best live performance i could find.

i love this city...

needed a bit of his voice in me today.. :)

...before the setting sun and I'll appear

ok. with the door opened for disco let's move the sound underground with a rarer the rare grooves songs from Joe Bataan. Co-founder of Salsoul (we'll cover then later in this series) records, called the King of Latin soul and even recorded some of the original rap songs on wax.

The only youtube version of the song is a little fast, but it still comes across.



oh, he's also filipino -- the great ones usually are =D

-over

mmhmm.. hoot!

after hearing feist cover it last summer.
i forsee sunny skies, spaghetti dresses and summer concerts!

Keep your proverbs short and sweet...

no good songs about rez day's hope this will do.

Your family is so poor...

So, this is what is best thought of as Filipino Double-dutch, of course there really aren't any ropes and no one is doing backflips.

Also, no dog eating or child selling in this video -- so, bonus.

buen aprovecho

i'd lost this...

enjoy... it all.
