Reptar - No One Will Ever Love You

Let's end on a happier note. I'm really enjoying the new album from these crazies. This live performance is so tight it sounds pre-fab. Thumbs up.

Portico - 101

This video makes me sad. I loved the last album by these guys, well, by their previous incarnation as Portico Quartet. Now they're just a threesome and they've lost a lot of creativity. The new album is just bland. They've added vocals and for me they just don't fit the vibe. I'm sure this will open their sound up to a new audience, but I think it's alienating a lot of their die-hard fans. Evolution? Devolution? Check it out, see what you think. 

Elephant Gym - Games

Math rock from Taiwan. Whatever that means.

Scuba - Black On Black

Pretty good new album from this chap.

Missed The Train

I don't speak Swedish, but that almost makes it better.

Radiohead - Weird Fishes

Let's get weird.

The Seinfeld Situation

I miss Seinfeld. Horrendous audio quality aside, this is a fine tribute.

Lego Matrix

Is it Sunday already? How did that happen? I'm struggling with time right now.

This is an amazing Lego remake of the infamous lobby scene. Too many hours were spent on this. Time well spent!

The Walker Brothers - The Electrician

One of the great intro scenes from film in recent years, this one comes from that awesome movie "Bronson" starring Tom Hardy. It's under-appreciated. Just like the Walker Brothers and this album from 1978. Nite Flights. Check it out. Trust me.

Killer Mike - Reagan

Killer Mike. Killer track. Killer video.

ATTLAS - Scarlett

Speaking of the mau5, I'm like 99.9% certain this is just an alter ego. I need some of those.

Colleen D'Agostino - Seeya

Pretty swish acoustic version of that Deadmau5 track.

Last Week Tonight - NCAA

Shabam! Take that ya damn criminals!

Earl Sinclair - Hypnotize

Almost forgot. Better post this. Arguably the greatest video ever in the history of everything. Like, how the hell does someone have the time to do this? Just ridiculous.

Jimmy Eat World - Bleed American

Remember these guys? This album was awesome.

Hundred Waters - Murmers

Well this is different. Pretty cool actually.

The Swingers - Counting The Beat

Annoying? Brilliant? Weird? All of the above.

So much for updating every day this month! Jebus. Horrific. Right. Here's some music.

Samoan Style Hawaiian Coconutting

How to husk a coconut, and some climbing tips from an engaging Samoan in Hawaii.

Taylor Mead's Fifteen Final Minutes

Sweet. 90,000 page views. Only took what, 5 years?

This is the last interview with the eccentric poet, a character right to the end of his 88 years.

Sage Francis - Make Em Purr

More thinking man's hip hop, produced by Buck 65. Warning: not uplifting. Word.

Jonwayne - Black Magic

Hadn't heard of this guy before, a pleasant surprise. Can't imagine I'm the only one who thinks he looks a bit like Chumlee from Pawn Stars... just sayin.

Fleet Foxes - Mykonos

I'm not crazy about these guys either, but this is a cool track, and the video is great.

Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band - Raise A Little Hell

Not my favorite song ever, but the video's well done.

Secretly A Fan

Hahaha busted!

Get Your Bearings Straight

Chinese vs German production. Don't worry about the language, trust me.

Last Week Tonight - Infrastructure

I'm probably gonna post all John's stuff. Because it's great.

Fake Oscar Prank

What the deuce? Has been been two weeks? I knew I'd been slipping, but that's inexcusable. March is an insanely busy month but I'll do my best to post stuff anyway since I've got so much piled up on the bookmark list. Let's get started...

Jungle - Julia

I like the other fan-made version I posted earlier better, but this is still great.


Hail Mary Mallon - 4AM

Hail to the hip hop.


Larytta - Osama Obama

Stupid title. Catchy track. Clever video.


Game of Thrones - A Day In The Life

Season 5 behind the scenes. Must watch if you're a fan. Unbelievable production scale.

NYC, 1981

Is this a trailer? A short? An extract? Not sure, but it's really well done.


BBC Documentary - My Lai

Harrowing but informative documentary on one of the worst incidents of the Vietnam war.

Lupe Fiasco - Superstar

Been a while since I posted any Lupe. His last album was weak. Just got his new one. Thankfully, it's dope. An early contender for my best of list. Go get it. This track of course is not from the new one, it's an oldie, and a remix at that. Cool track. Crap car ad video.


Drake Adams & The Sticky Bandits - Stone

So much 'undiscovered' talent in New Brunswick. This is live from Wilser's Room.


Action Bronson - Easy Rider

I'm exhausted. Shoveled too much snow. Great video.

Run The Jewels - Lie, Cheat, Steal

1800th blog post. Gotta be RTJ. New video. Check it and wreck it.


Sleaford Mods - Tied Up In Nottz

This couldn't be more opposite. Vulgar, English, entertaining as hell.


Scotty & The Stars - Dancing Like A Dinosaur

One for the kids! Big shout outs to Scotty, Kelly, and King Richard.


Umphrey's McGee - No Diablo

Just heard these guys for the first time. Apparently they have kind of a religious following? Remind me a lot of Phish, for obvious reasons. Good stuff, I'll have to check them out live.


Davenport Cabinet - Sorry For Me

In case you've forgotten, this is the side project of Travis Stever from Coheed & Cambria.


Wallace The Mad King - Rabbit Beer Cart

With some small modifications to the original design, this could work for a cat. Hmmm....


Lars Andersen - A New Level Of Archery

I have many talented friends. Some ridiculously so. Many are hard working, which makes them prodigiously successful. They are inspiring. Then there is this guy. I posted about him before, but this is his newest video. Unreal.


Neil deGrasse Tyson - What's Possible In 15 Years?

Bill Gates asks monsieur le science. Cool answer.

Badbadnotgood & Ghostface Killah - Ray Gun

New collaboration album coming in February! Yes! What a combo!


Stan Bush - The Touch

A little nostalgia? Transformers yo! Now in HD!

Owen Steel - Old Man Lammes

Here's Owen, one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. Great story singer.


The Young Punx - Kowloon Kickback

No more Saturday Beat, no more bonus beats. Why? Because they're now mainstream! Random Soundcloud beats all the time! I thought they deserved their own post instead of getting bunched up together. Here's a great electro-swing remix by Gramophonedzie.


Monday, January 12, 2015

Death Grips - Inanimate Sensation

So... are these guys done? Not done? Whatever, they're nuts.


Mark Ronson - Feel Right

More funky beats from the Ronsonator. This time with Mystikal in tow.


Chilly Gonzales - Shake It Off Masterclass

For all you producers looking to make a hit, check out this great little masterclass series. This is a brief dissection of that Taylor Swift track, actually written by Max Martin.


Peter Griffin Goes To New York Comic Con

Right, it's been a nice break, time to get back to business. As I hinted at briefly earlier, I'm changing things up a bit around here. Once upon a time I posted lots of crazy random stuff, and since I keep running across more said random stuff, I figure I'll start posting it again. No more pre-programmed  three-hit song days, all random, all the time. Let's kick this off.

Meet Robert Franzese. This dude is awesome.
