Motörhead - Iron Fist

It's Monday. Let's do it loud. Let's do it angry.

Garrett Mason & Keith Hallett - Mojo Boogie

Two of the east coast's finest. Saw Garrett a few weeks back, he was rockin' out acoustic styles at Rock Bottom. Haven't seen Keith in a bit, but I imagine he's touring around like a superstar. Either that or locked in his bedroom practicing like a madman. 

B.B. King - The Thrill Is Gone

The one and only.

Joe Bonamassa - Just Got Paid

Well after all those beats yesterday it's only right that we follow up with some classic blues guitar. I assure you that makes sense. If not, deal with it.

The Saturday Beat

As promised, let's get down to beatness.



Keep it deep.



Awwww yissssss.



Tech house killer. Fugees what?



Funky tribal kicker primed for some mashing.



Sweeping progressive beauty.

Mark Ronson - Uptown Funk

And now to wrap up my evening of completely uninspired and unoriginal selections, here's the catchiest song in the world right now. Forgive me. Proper beats tomorrow.

Rudimental - Waiting All Night

Here's another one that's been posted a zillion times already, but not by me! Haha... I'm actually kind of ashamed to admit I didn't know about this song at all until a few months ago. Sad, I know. North America ain't really down with the d&b like the Brits are. One day maybe? Dunno. Great track anyway.

OK Go - I Won't Let You Down

To be perfectly honest I think this song is pretty weak, even for OK Go, who aren't exactly the headiest group out there. That said, you have to recognize video creativity, and these guys are definitely winning in that department. So I am now the 38,184th person to post this. Moving on...

Kate & Anna McGarrigle - Log Driver's Waltz

Surely you remember this one. 1979. Coincidentally also written by Wade Hemsworth.

Wade Hemsworth - The Blackfly Song

1955. Dawn posted this one. Shout-outs to all the homies in Ontar-i-o-i-o.

Burl Ives - I Know An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly

Throwback Thursday. Taking no prisoners. A harrowing tale from 1964.

Tom Waits - Looks Like I'm Up Shit Creek Again

No video for this, but I'm posting it anyway. This is how the American people will be feeling about their 'justice' system tomorrow. #EricGarner

Rob Cantor - Shia LaBeouf

I watched Fury last night. Good movie. This is just nuts.

Chromeo - Come Alive

So I've posted this song before, in its original version, but I had to re-post this version since it's so crazy. I mean really, a talkbox on a bed? Good enough.

Corky & The Juice Pigs - Eskimo

So I'm running late, which is no surprise, but I've just about made it in time if I type really fast. I'm frankly shocked that I've never posted this one before.

Mad TV Corky The Juice Pigs - I'm The Only Gay... by ComedyGold

Emily Kinney - Expired Lover

Oh oh, oh oh oh oh, the irony...

Stephen Campbell - Trance Bass

So this is great.

Shotgun Jimmie - Swamp Song

It's Monday, but this is no time for metal. Here's some quiet beer drinking music.

The Saturday Beat

Well that week wasn't supposed to be so busy. Here's some beats to make up for it.



Deep thumping tech beats.



Funky fun from a pretty solid album



Groovin' soul mid set dancin' beats. FREE download!



Lounge style sexy swinger beats.



Proper jazzy jackin' beauty.



Bouncy disco glitch tech. Lovin' this one. FREE download!



Deep and delicious, with a side of smoooooth.



Easily the best remix of this track.



Late night deepness personified.

Deerhoof - Exit Only

New punk stuff. Grungy, loud, not bad. Cool video too.

The Offspring - Bad Habit

'Smash' remains one of my favorite albums from the '90s. To hear what they moved on to is just... well... their priorities definitely changed, let's put it that way.

Millencolin - Kemp

I kinda like the original version a little better, but this one got the video so there it is.

Metallica - Orion

Some proper HD. God these guys were good.

Danzig - Am I Demon

It's ludicrous how hard it is to find any high quality Danzig videos.

Pantera - Walk

Metal Monday! Let's do it classic style. This one goes out to Richie.

The Saturday Beat

The double deuce!



Some bumpin' techno to get things started.



Let's keep that vibe goin'.



Now we got it down.



Little more upbeat now.



Back to the basics.



It's getting a bit intense, time for a breather.



Back in biznaaaaassss!



Now make it funky! (FREE DOWNLOAD!)



It's getting late, better deep it down a bit.



Now slow it waaaaay doooown and sign things off.

Theophilus London - Tribe

If you dig this, check out his older stuff. It's better.

Joi Cardwell & Pete Grace - Indian Giver

A little more wordy, but nice and bouncy. Ideal for night time city driving.

Cleavage - Need Someone

Right, it's early. May'sll start the dancing. This is like new school old school '90s. Sick.

Kendrick Lamar - i

The newest of the new school.

Outkast - Rosa Parks

Now some older middle school.

Lord Finesse - Return Of The Funky Man

I'm feelin' more hip hop today. Let's start old school.

Kixnare - Rknr

Didn't even know he had new stuff out. Good to know!

Röyksopp - Keyboard Milk

I hadn't even heard of this song until today. For shame.

Holy Other - Feel Something

How about some ethereal experimental electronic expositions? Yes please.

Jimmy Fallon & The Roots - Desire

Might as well post the song that inspired this whole shindig. Great job Jimmy.

Sepultura - Bullet The Blue Sky

I love this cover. Captures the feel, and ups the angry. Kickass.

Saul Williams - Sunday Bloody Sunday

So it was supposed to be U2 week on the Tonight Show, but Bono broke himself so it got cancelled. I'm not really concerned, I don't watch the show and don't really listen to much U2 these days, but I do enjoy their older stuff and figured why not, let's have a U2 day. Lo and behold I conveniently came across this cover that I completely forgot about. If the production sounds NIN-ish, it's because it is. Trent Reznor did the beats, Saul did the vocals. It's what they do best.

Red Fang - Crows In Swine

This is another re-post. I really don't like doing that, but I will make the rare exception where it's warranted. In this case the new video is too dope not to shine its awesomeness on the blog. My only complaint is that it should have been released ages ago, then I wouldn't have had to re-post it. But wait... maybe that was... have I been duped?!?

Dope Body - Repo Man

These guys are new to me, but man are they awesome. So pleased to find a proper grunge band that isn't from mid-90s Seattle. Think they could afford to the boost the vocals a bit in the mix. They're a bit clouded by the guitars. Great sound though. 

Monster Magnet - The Duke

Super busy weekend, so things didn't quite happen on here. That's ok, because that means Steve got a little more front page action. So let's do an unofficial Metal Monday. Unofficial because these songs aren't really metal, but they are loosely affiliated. I mean come on. Monster Magnet? Sounds pretty metal to me. Stoner rock at the very least. And hey, the video is dope as hell.

Stephen Lewis - Just A Little Shy

This is Steve. Steve is a great guy from Fredericton. Today is Steve's birthday. Steve would like you to listen to his story, and then he will sing you a song. Nice work Steve.

Incubus - Dig

I keep thinking it's a day later than it actually is.

Weird.

This song.

Right here. 

Yes.

The Watchmen - Stereo

These guys are so underrated.

Silverchair - Israel's Son

It's Thursday. Let's do some throwin'.

Run The Jewels - Run The Jewels

These guys are awesome. Get the new album. Get the old album. Do it. Do it now.

The Mouse Outfit - Sit Back

This one is serious chill, reminds me of A Tribe Called Quest. Yeah buddy.

Dilated Peoples - Show Me The Way

Thanks for remembering peoples. Now let's get back to the crazy bizarro world we live in today. Like it or love it, at least we've all got choices. Today I choose hip hop.

Joseph Kilna MacKenzie - Sgt. MacKenzie

It's Remembrance Day, and this is always the song that comes to mind for me. Haunting stuff, and this is actually a repost, but the one I posted four years ago was just a crappy audio link that's since been chopped, so here's one with some war footage to go with it.

Elliott Brood - Nothing Left

I've seen these guys a few times live, and they're always a great show. Actually didn't realise they were from Toronto, for some reason I thought they were from the west. How about that then. All three bands today from Ontario. Wasn't even intentional.

The Flatliners - Tail Feathers

Here's another great Canadian band, also out of Ontario.

Constantines - Soon Enough

Yesterday was impossibly busy. Today close to the same, though it's involved a lot of sitting and typing. Anyway these guys are awesome and it's great that they toured again this year. I hope they make another album some day.

The Saturday Beat

Time for some much needed beats!



Nice melodic late night big roomer.



Love this one. Groovy rolling house action.



Another killer new classic house vibe.



Juicy funk soul sweetness to the max.



Old school breaks! Just because they're awesome.

Die Antwoord - Ugly Boy

I don't even really listen to these cats anymore but they're so nutso I just feel obligated to post their videos. Like if I don't Yolandi and Ninja are gonna come get me. It's a little weird, I know.

Buck 65 - Shutterbuggin'

Can't really get into the new album, but I can still dig the old goodies.

Foreign Beggars vs Alix Perez - Modus

So my interwebs were down yesterday, and today I got it working by restarting the FibreOP modem. No thanks to Bell for the craptacular service. Now let's celebrate with some traptacular beats. See what I did there? Ha. 

Goldroom - Till Sunrise

Chilled, not frozen.

Austra - Hulluu

So "hulluu" is Finnish for "crazy things". That explains everything.

Emily King - Distance

Ya, so my updates from Toronto didn't quite happen. Oh well. I'm back, recovered, and ready to get down to business. Only about 8 weeks or so left in this year, which just seems crazy to me. It also means snow is on the way. I'm not ready to freeze! 

Deadmau5 - Fn Pig

An orchestral remix slash visual project by Michael Gold. I think it works brilliantly.

Zhu - Paradise Awaits

This one is nice and funky, and I love the visuals. Awesome stuff.

Arca - Held Apart

I'm heading on an impromptu journey to Toronto tomorrow, so I may not get to updating this until I return on Monday night, but hopefully I'll fit in one more post before I go. Here's some visual treats for you to wind down this hectic Wednesday.

Led Zeppelin - Rock And Roll

...like probably this one. New video from the legends? Sure, why not!

Fly Golden Eagle - Horse's Mouth

I get the feeling these guys wish they were rockin' out in a different era...

Alt-J - Every Other Freckle

New album out from this crazy fella, looking forward to giving it a listen.

The Budos Band - Burnt Offering

Doom metal slash soul? This is awesome.

Charles Bradley - Where Do We Go From Here?

It's like modern day Motown. Can't go wrong with that.

Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings - Retreat!

...and I was doing so well... It was a busy weekend, and there'll be a few more on the way but I'll try to get this done every day anyway. Crazy news about Jian, big evening in store for Toronto, and I just ate a mango. I think we'll skip the metal today and go straight for the soul.

Thea, Rose Ryot, and Jaw - Drink

I have no idea who these people are but this is clearly serious business.

Midnight Magic - Vicious Love

Kind of a trippy funk dub vibe from this one. Interdasting.

Imaginary Cities - Say You

A little bit of rock, a little bit of soul. Not bad, not bad.

Hey Rosetta! - Soft Offering (For The Oft Suffering)

I'm excited to hear this new album. I have a copy but haven't listened to it yet, weird huh? Anyway I'll get to it today. The last release kind of left me a little underwhelmed, but I'm enjoying this new track. It's a little different sounding, kind of a mix of Peter Gabriel and early (i.e. good) Coldplay. More of a rock feel rather than orchestral. That's not at all a bad thing. Check it out.

Wintersleep - Jaws Of Life

These guys have just completely sunk into oblivion. They had so much promise and somewhere the edge got just fell away. Mismanagement maybe? This is from their 2005 album, a brilliant offering, and one that had, unbeknownst to me, a plethora of videos released, all seemingly directed by Sean Wainsteim. Maybe he was a friend of a friend, or a label hiree, but I just feel like every one of them completely missed the mark. As if they were more to act as a show reel for what tricks the director had rather than actually having anything to do with the music.

Sam Roberts - Shapeshifters

Let's do some Canadian rock today. These guys from Montreal are always hit and miss for me. This latest album was really upbeat, rocky, but I just felt a tad over-produced. The drum tracks sounded kind of dry and stale, and the vocals sound processed and squashed and chorused to death. But hey, it's a catchy tune and I like the video. It's probably much better live.

Swick and Lewis CanCut - Fizzy

More weird, more wacky, more Wednesday! Woot!

Tornado Wallace - Circadia

Lewie Day makes wacky music. I like it. How about that video?

Rustie - Hover Traps

No idea how this fella went from fresh stuff like this to his massively underwhelming new album, but there it is. Let's get some mid-week electro-funk on the go. 

Foxes - Don't Stop Me Now

I'm not really into her other stuff but this was an interesting version of a classic.

Keenan O'Meara - Animal

A pretty unique version of this one. Nice work.

Mike Masse and Jeff Hull - Paranoid Android

Definitely the best cover of this difficult song that I've come across.

The Bronx - Inveigh

The current kings of the hardcore arena. New stuff from their alter ego out real soon!

Snot - Snooze Button

Man, these guys were so good. Ugh. Great fan-made vid too. Warning: ANGRY!

Greys - Adderall

Almost forgot! Hmm... let's get hardcore! Creds to Shamos for this one.

Maceo Plex - Boiler Room Berlin

Busy day, so let's just add 90 minutes more beats to those beats.

The Saturday Beat

B-b-b-b-b-b-beats!



Chilled out driving beats.



New old Chicago style beats.



Chillllled out late night beats.



Big room progressive beats.



Funky bouncing big beat beats.

Jane Jupiter - Higher

New pseudonym for Kid Sister. Trademark funky production. Bouncy and sparkly. Solid.

The 2 Bears - Not This Time

I'll be honest, the name flew right over my head until I saw this video. Now I get it. Anyway I'm enjoying the classic disco groove. Smooth and summery.

Alpine - Gasoline

Funky Fresh Friday (shout-outs to STV). Kind of a bland video but I dig the sound.

Badbadnotgood - Flashing Lights

Rhythmic psychedelic post-jazz. Goodgoodnotbad. Hillside, 2012.

The Bad Plus - The Empire Strikes Backwards

More jazz! Montreal, September 18, 2010. Darth Vader approves.

John Coltrane, Stan Getz, and Oscar Peterson - Hackensack

Jazz, damnit, jazz! Germany, 1960. Paul Chambers on bass, Jimmy Cobb drums.

Weezer - Back To The Shack

An awful lot of people are proclaiming this their best album since Pinkerton. An awful lot of people are really desperate for their kids to understand how good they were. I've listened to the new release, it's ok, nothing more. Not a patch on their first two albums. I'll give it a couple more listens, but let's face the facts: the good ol' days are gone.

Headstones - Tweeter And The Monkey Man

Would somebody PLEASE upload some decent quality videos of these guys to YouTube? It's 2014 and they're one of the best damn Canadian rock bands of all time. Instead we have to put up with this fan-made rubbish. Better than nothing I suppose. For the record, this version of the song is way better than the original.

Better Than Ezra - Good

Remember these guys? Ya, I pretty much forgot they existed.

Saul Williams - DNA / Coded Language

The one and only, live over the streets of downtown T-Dot. Awesome.

Shane Koyczan & Hannah Epperson - Remember How We Forgot

This fellow is absolutely amazing. See him live! Big ups to Yellowknife.

Prince Ea - Can We Auto-Correct Humanity?

Good day for some spoken word stuff. This one has been making the rounds lately. I don't necessarily agree with all his points. Online social media has its place. Too many people walking around with their faces on their phones though. On that we can agree.

Big Wreck - Shout

Modern day grunge. Thank goodness somebody's doin' it right.

Alice In Chains - Would?

Man I miss Layne Staley. A tortured soul, but what a talent.

Stone Temple Pilots - Sex Type Thing

I'm not religious so I admit that I have no idea what the different between Easter Sunday and Easter Monday is except that Monday is a holiday. Anyway it doesn't matter, what matters is we need some almost-metal grunge in our lives. Obviously.
