Beck- Black Tambourine
i like beck because he always seems to bring something different. sometimes, he’s up, sometimes he’s down, but he’s usually out there. many people know him for ‘loser’ but he’s come a long way since then. this song is from the album ‘guero’ which game out in 2005. i liked this entire album. it’s probably my second...

Beastie Boys- Sabotage
ok, people, let’s get excited. this is one of my favorite beastie boys songs and one of my favorite beastie boys videos. i should probably preface those statement by saying i’ve only listened to two beastie boys albums and may have watched four of their videos. that aside, this is a good one. i was sold from the first mustache to the last. i’m sure most...

BLK JKS - Summertime
BLK JKS are the “south african avant noise rock band” i really don’t get all of that, but this song and video are great. blk jks seemed to really hit the scene with their fader cover from i think about a year ago. there was something about that picture that really grabbed me initially. it was just a regular group picture, but the looks on their face just...

Raekwon- Incarcerated Scarfaces
peep the culture cipher, god. word up. this gem is from one hip hop’s classic albums, the purple tape. it’s amazing how well it’s aged. some albums from era sound dated, but this one still seems fresh when i listen to it. true, they style is a bit anachronistic, but i happen to really like music from that time period. wu was killin’ cats...

Simian Mobile Disco - Hustler
i’m a big simian mobile disco fan. i watched a good interview of them in the past where they were talking about how during their live shows they just fiddle around with all of the crazy computers so no two shows are the same. the first ‘hustler’ video featured a circular rotating camera with girls kissing each other. this one features…....

Pharcyde - Drop
this video is a spike jonze masterpiece. how did they make it… well let’s see
played the song backwards
hired a linguist to make words out of the backwards music
pharcyde studied the “lyrics”
recorded them doing the whole video backwards
play it forward

Meshuggah- Bleed
go team sweden! i first heard of these guys when they played with tool a few years back. i actually missed their set, but the guys from tool had nice things to say about them. i decided to check them out. i liked their music’s complexity. i like how they, like tool, had fun with time signatures. and it was heavy. me like heavy. for some reason, though, i didn’t really...
