Charles Bradley - Changes

Black Sabbath cover? In soul? I'll take one please.

Erlend Øye - Garota

I'm not sure I gave this album enough credit last year. Defo worth a few listens.

Quake Matthews - Down With The King

Reppin' the 902! Only in Halifax do you rap about donairs. With Randy.

Quannum - I Changed My Mind

Don't let the name throw you off. This is Lyrics Born in disguise. Da best.

Monstars - Hit 'Em High

Remember this beauty? Talk about an all-star team.

Periphery - Stranger Things

Over 30 straight days I've had this updated now. Let's shoot for a new record. I don't actually know what the record is, so I'll have to go back and take a look. Amazingly we're very quickly approaching the end of the year, which of course means we're close to my 'Best of 2015' list. Exciting and scary at the same time, because I've still got a lot of listening to do and then I've got to sort out my rankings, which are very, very loose at the moment. Will I make it in time? Stranger things have happened.

Animals As Leaders - Physical Education

Metal Monday. It's happening. Let's be progressive today.

The Dank All-Stars - Rental Love

This is a great cover of Lake Street Dive.

Mantler - I've Been Destroyed

Well we had our little disco party yesterday, so let's cool it down today. Remember this dude? He now goes by Marker Starling. Personally like Mantler better.

Roy Davis Jr. - Boiler Room London

One song isn't enough. We need an hour of soulful funky house beats to get us ready to boogie. As it happens, I have just the thing.

Phil Fuldner - Get Down

It's Saturday. We need big-ass beats.

U.S. Girls - Window Shades

Strangely, this sounds more like it.

Wild Belle - Giving Up On You

Well this doesn't sound much like their older stuff. Not sure what to think.

Yukon Blonde - I Wanna Be Your Man

More like Kelowna Brunette.

Coheed & Cambria - Here To Mars

I have no idea how this didn't come to my head two days ago. Embarrassing. Anyway, am I the only one who thinks that lyric videos have been done to death? This video would actually be pretty cool without the damn letters flying across the screen.

Tyondai Braxton - Boids

Bonus triplet. Former Battles dude Tyondai is now doing weird 'solo' stuff. Enjoy.

Battles - The Yabba

This is better than the album version.

Björk - Lionsong

It's Wednesday. Let's do it weird.

Tears For Fears - Everybody Wants To Rule The World

Something more uplifting. One of my all-time favorite songs.

The whole performance is brilliant.

Nils Frahm - Re

Here's some spacey piano to help you think about that last video.

Why We Should Go To Mars

This. A thousand times this. Tell 'em what's what Dr. Zubrin.

KEN Mode - Blessed

Proper. Angry. Loud. Hardcore. Metal.

Deftones - Digital Bath

It's Monday... right? Yup, confirmed. It's Monday. Let's do metal. Surprised I haven't posted anything by these cats in ages, but then the new album isn't coming until early 2016. Really looking forward to it. This is one of my favs.

Incubus - Absolution Calling

To be honest I complete forgot that there was a new(ish) EP out. Oops.

The Icarus Line - El Sereno

So I was trying to figure out why the YouTube videos didn't have the player controls anymore in my embeds. Turns out I've been putting in the wrong code since August. Oops. I went back and fixed it. What a dummy. I think the blog could use a facelift. I'll start thinking about that. Maybe it'll get one for Christmas. I like this video. Cool concept.

Pixielord - Rescue Cyber Party

Brad Perry's Checkoutthatsweetmug Remix. Nice job.

Green Velvet & Riva Starr - Robots

Ima be proactive and schedule this one. It's Saturday. Let's boogie.

Stone Temple Pilots - Interstate Love Song

This one too. Such a great tune.

Velvet Revolver - Fall To Pieces

Scott Weiland is gone. It's not a surprise, was just a matter of time. Still sad. One of my favorite performers in the grunge days. Let's sing him out.

Postmodern Jukebox - Viva La Vida

By Jove, Scott Bradlee and Puddles have done it again. I much prefer this to the original.

Tom Waits - All The World Is Green

Back again. A bit (a lot) earlier today. I feel we should do some more relaxing before the weekend arrives, because that looks like it could be hectic. No reason really, but it's December which invariably means mayhem 24/7. I'm looking forward to March.

Husky - I'm Not Coming Back

Great track, sweet video.

Chet Faker - 1998

Running late again. No worries. Let's chill out with Chet.

Robert T - Cirrus

Running a little late today. Here's a really cool live performance on a whole whack of funky blip and bloop machines. Throw on your headphones and give it a whirl.

Psy - Daddy

I'll be honest, I haven't even listened to either one of these songs yet. I just skimmed through the videos on mute for like 30 seconds and thought "what the hell". I'm guessing they're both terrible, but the action is just too ridiculous to pass up.

Psy - Napal Baji

I wonder if those older fellas had any idea what music would be like in 2015.

Michael Chapman - Trains

Now we need some guitar. This chap's a mere 73. I should start practicing.

Wally Krauss - It Might As Well Be Spring

It's an old-timey kind of day. Wally's 89 here. Here he is at 93. Still got it.

Dan Mangan & Blacksmith - Vessel

Not sure how I feel about this album. It's different. Some strong parts, some less so. Overall, not bad. Potential there for more collaboration in the future. Cool video anyway.

Hayden - Bad As They Seem

Kind of slightly sour about this one. Really wanted to post 'Trees Lounge' but for some dumb reason Hardwood Records doesn't want me to share their video with the world. Whatevs. Check out the link anyway. And watch this one too. Weirdos.

Seven Mary Three - Water's Edge

Only one yesterday, so let's make it a triple today. This one goes out to J-Ryze.

Eddie Murphy - Party All The Time

I'm going back in time to post this classic.

!!! - Ooo

Enough nostalgia. Let's get modern. These crazies are great live.

Barstool Prophets - Paranoia

Throwback Thursday? Sure, why not.

Stick In The Wheel - Champion

Keepin' it simple. Great little tune.

Junkhouse - Burned Out Car

Not sure why but I had this song in my head today. Tom Wilson is a massively underrated song writer. That's Sarah McLachlan on the backing vocals too.

Clutch - X-Ray Visions

Pretty excited to hear the new album. These guys kick ass.

Pearl Jam & Neil Young - Rockin' In The Free World

I'm running a little late today but I've just about made it! This might not be the best rendition of this song in existence, but it's pretty frickin' epic. 67 years young and the old fella's still given 'er. I also love the video concept. Bet all those videographers were wishing they were rockin out instead though.

Puscifer - The Remedy

Damnit Maynard, you're still the best. Video could be better though.

Eagles Of Death Metal - Complexity

These guys are awesome. Hope to see them back in action soon.

Hiatus Kaiyote - Breathing Underwater

I did not know this existed before now. I KNOW.

Caribou - Back Home

Right. Looks like I'm back in a bit of a rhythm. Pretty similar to the music scene in 2015 I think. Slow start, but there's been some solid releases in the final quarter. Better late than never? Let's pick up the tempo slightly. Two songs a day for the next week?

Sounds like a plan, Stan.

Kill Chicago - The Grey

Live at the Recordery. This is Brad Perry and Evan Hanson's new spot. Groovy.

David Bowie - Blackstar

New album out in January. This is the first track. It's out there. Can't wait to hear more.

Cake - The Distance

Not sure why, but I really want some cake today.

The Tea Party - The Ocean At The End

Heard these guys were putting out a new album, and then somehow it completely passed me by. Seems like it did the same to most people. It's pretty decent actually, not as strong as their early stuff but to be fair it's hard to live up to perfection. This one is obviously very Pink Floyd. That's not a bad thing by any means.

De Staat - Witch Doctor

I love this video concept. Really well done.

Gunship - Tech Noir

This video is awesome. Song is pretty sick too.

Grand Analog - Heart The Lonely Hunter

Muneshine Remix. Sunday chillout. Solid.

Dam-Funk - We Continue

It's Saturday night. Don't you ever stop.

andhim - Spayce

News from Paris is terrible. This post is just a brief distraction.

Missy Elliott - WTF

WTF? She's still alive? Ain't quite a classic, but it'll do.

Ian Thornley - Secrets

Aw, heck. This is a music blog. Here's some great music.

The Fallen of World War II

I'm back from a long sojourn and a week's recovery. Gotta make up for lost time. First, a little history lesson. Because it's that day.

Humans - Ennio

These guys are new to me. Thanks Shamos. I like this video.

Kill Chicago - Count To Ten

So it's been a while... but for good reason. I've been busy as hell. Tomorrow I fly to the UK - for a month. That will also be busy... but I'm feeling like I should get back into the swing of things, so I'll do my best. The unannounced sabbatical is over. Freddy Beach reprazent.

John C. Reilly & Friends - Tiny Desk Concert

Old timey music!

1. It`s Never Too Late

2. Wayward Traveler

3. Rock Of Ages

4. Blues Stay Away From Me

The Hateful Eight - Trailer

Newest Tarantino flick. Awww yissss.

Moullinex - Take A Chance

French summer lazer disco house.

The Moaning Of Life 2 Trailer

Karl Pilkington is a madman.

Pipe Dreams

Busy busy busy. Mad busy.

This is just insane in so many ways.

Super Flu - Ooooooh

I've been busy as hell this month, hence the crappy posting schedule. Oh well. I'm off on the road for another week starting tomorrow, but might be able to fit a few chunes in. I hope so. I was gonna post another song but then I found out I'd already posted it, so ya. I guess these things happen when You've been posting stuff for five freakin' years. Soooo.... here's this groovy little number instead.

Hawksley Workman - We Will Still Need A Song

Busy busy busy busy busy. I posted the original video for this song almost five years ago, but this is such a great live version I thought it deserved a re-post. 

DayMan vs NightMan

This soundtrack is perfect.

Chandelier - Following A Promise

Ach! Where did the time go? Hurry, check this out!

Timecop 1983 - Secrets

Just got this album. Haven't listened to it yet, but I'm looking forward to it. I put the space back in the name though, because it looks dumb without it. 

Suicide Squad Trailer

So I don't really know anything about this movie. I read a few comics when I was young, but never any of these ones. Looks like it might not be terrible.

Star Wars Comic Con Reel

Had to jump back on and post this. The Force Awakens!

Thundercat - Lotus and The Jondy

Time for a road trip. Here, have some funky jazz.

Laszlo - Cartoon Hero

Ask and ye shall receive! Ellen Pao has stepped down! Terrific. World changing? No. I won't jump back on the bandwagon yet, but it's a step in the right direction. Let's celebrate with some synth pop. The fizzy kind.

Coheed & Cambria - You Got Spirit, Kid

Cheer up old bean. Life goes on without Deaddit. This will work. New Coheed album coming out October 9!!! That is faaaantastic news. Here's the first track made public!

James - Ring The Bells

Jack Black. Look into it.

Ronald Jenkees - Try The Bass

Hello YouTubes!!! It's been 2.5 years... so excited to see he's back!

Keith Hallett - Cattle Call

I had to drop out of Folly Fest this year. That sucked. Was really looking forward to jamming with everyone and seeing some great fellas on stage. Keith was there. I'm sure it was great. Next year I'm going to Folly damnit.

Serj Tankian & Khatchadour Tankian - Bari Arakeel

SoaD's lead singer with his dad singing an Armenian choon. Pretty cool.

Miguel Rivera - Beat It

This guy is awesome. Was gonna post a different song, but this one is the best quality.

Keith Hallett - Take Sick And Die

This has nothing to do with Nina except that it's also awesome.

Zebra Katz & Leila - Nine Simone

...and some new song apparently inspired by her. Not sure.

Nina Simone - Mississippi Goddam

From her Live in Holland show, 1965. Watch it here.

New Horizons - Voyage to Pluto

We're damn close. Unreal. Bring it on galaxy!

Serious mango cutting skills

Watch it to the end. Trust me.

John Oliver drinks Bud

The man follows through. Although those 'bites' were more like nibbles. Close enough.

Apologies for the potato quality. Apparently it's the best we can do.

The Colbeard

Colbert's gettin' ready for his big move.

Stray - Paradise

I'm running late again today. Here's some dubby tripstep.

Ed Skrein - Reach Skrein

I'm still suffering trauma from Game of Thrones. Not so much what happened in the episode, I've read the books so I was mostly expecting it. But it's over. Again. Damnit. What to do on Sunday nights now? Here's the old Daario Naharis doing some rapping. I don't like the new Daario. He has no charisma. I wonder how long he'll last riding around with El Jorah Mormonto.

Jake The Dog - Bacon Pancakes

I've been away, then I got sick. I never get sick. Must be old age. Anyway, I guess I owe you about 10 hours of music. So... here ya go.

José González - Tony Desk Concert

Great suggestion Jenna. This is lovely.

1. Open Book

2. With The Ink Of A Ghost

3. Every Age

Nigel Stanford - Cymatics

I feel like this should be the theme music to that last clip.

MIT Cheetah 2

Damn these robots are scary. T-minus 20 years to the T-800.

Last Week Tonight - FIFA take 2

Another beauty, the follow up from the take one on this joke of an organization.
