Black Honey - Dig

So fresh they don't even have a Wikipedia page yet.

Judas Priest - Spectre

New album. 44 years after the first. It's never too late to rock out.

Aurora - Teardrop

There's a lot of covers out there of this one, probably the most famous trip hop track in existence. I like this version. Skip to about 1 min in to avoid the banter.

Tim Green - Mr. Dry

Tonight we're gettin' deep, real weird like.

Tuxedo - Do It

Need some funk in your Friday? Look no further. Pretty much any track from these funkin' maniacs will do. I dare you not to get your boogie on. I double-dare you.

Green Day - Longview

This is actually the first time I've ever posted anything by these guys. Probably a reason, I pretty much stopped listening to them completely after Nimrod. Anyway this is still my favorite track of theirs. Enjoy in all its uncensored glory.

Hot Snakes - LAX / Suicide Invoice / Braintrust

More old-timers still kickin' it. Check out their new album, it's great.

David Byrne - Everybody's Coming To My House

It's like an old friend smashing through a mid-life crisis. I can dig it.

Skull Fist - Bad For Good

Best metal hair band still going? These cats are awesome live. Still got my shirt.

Bicep - Glue

First day of April. Kick back and relax. You've earned it.

Get Real - Snuffaluffagus

It's Saturday. Time to get down. Word to Big Bird.

Phum Viphurit - Lover Boy

Alright let's bring it back to 2018. Just funky enough for this Friday afternoon.

Delinquent Habits - Lower Eastside

Ain't gonna break stride on Throwback Thursday!

Weezer - Pink Triangle

Since we're feeling a bit nostalgic...

Barenaked Ladies - One Week / If I Had $1000000

Right, it's hard to stay angry when these gents are back on stage together.

How 'bout an old school tour fellas?

Rollins Band - Liar

I was going to post this awesome live performance from '94 but then I thought, nah, this video is legendary. Happy Monday.

Kraak & Smaak - Stumble

It's been a helluva weekend. Let's turn down the juice a little.

Grum - Runaway

Saturday. Disco? Always.

Run The Jewels - Oh Mama

Rick and Morty vs RTJ? Vraiment? Oui, c'est ça.

Chilly Gonzales - Supervillain Music

One of my favorite artists. The mad genius in concert.

Lusine - Slow Motion

Big fan of Jeff McIlwain's work. Just came across this live performance, it's brilliant. That's Trent Moorman doing the funky stuff on the drums.

KnoR - It's Happening

Cool tune, great video. Two likes for you.

System Of A Down - Radio/Video

I'm angry. Let's get loud. I miss these guys.

La Roux - In For The Kill

I'm ready for another album. Come on Elly, get it together.

Martin Solveig - Jealousy

Before his tracks became unbearably obnoxious. Lee Fields on vocals.

Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio - Memphis

Funk Fridays are back in business.

Clinton Fearon - Waiting

Not enough reggae in this joint.

Stephen Hawking - Galaxy Song

Off to join Carl in the stars. Safe travels.

Dengue Dengue Dengue - Guarida

These ones are all kinds of wacky. And absorbing.

The Wytches - Gravedweller

Crunchy grungy goo.

Kemba - Night Thoughts

Good groove to chill out to. Creepy video.

Lifelike - Pacific Palisades

Saturday. Disco. Fever.

Warren G - Regulate

The Jammin' Remix featuring Michael McDonald. Shibbity dibbity doo.

Quality video mashup by DJ Eksel.

Allan Rayman - Graceland

Since we're on a downtempo groove...

Ibeyi - Tiny Desk Concert

Didn't know who they were before. Now I know.

1. Oddudua

2. Deathless

3. Valé

4. Transmission / Michaelion

Dream Wife - Hey Heartbreaker

Robots and rock? Let's do it.

Seven Mary Three - My My

The great underachievers... American Standard was such a good record. So why didn't they kick on? Evolution of sound is natural, but they just seemed to lose their identity along the way. The studio version of this song might be the most underappreciated grunge track from the 90s.

Elderbrook - Difficult To Love

Great stripped back version of this song.

Arvo Party - Chevy Chase

It's Saturday. We need some hardcore disco beats. Complete with this sweet video edit from Equilibrium, a movie that could have been better than it was.

The Record Company - So What'cha Want

Dang, that some swell Beasties.

Stoker - Forever Drive

Hmm... I wonder who their influences are?

The Animals - The House Of The Rising Sun

Really wish someone would make a decent video for this one.

Chinese Man - Shikantaza

Amazing job by Fred & Annabelle on the video. The hippo is my favorite.

Focus - Hocus Pocus

The in and out cuts on this upload grind my gears. Performance is legendary.

FM Hi Low - Human Enemy

This video doesn't really do justice to how good Fraser McDonald and friends are live, or how great this track is... so I'm posting the audio link below it too.

TAKE TWO
(studio cut)

Green Velvet - Flash

This is actually the Channel X remix. Bumpin' house. It sounds almost nothing like the original, a legendary track that was among a few to welcome me into the wide world of electronic music. My personal favorite remix was this one by Danny Tenaglia.

Bonobo - Cirrus

This is now older than I remembered it being.

Denzel Curry & Badbadnotgood - Ultimate

Good by themselves, great as a team. Teamwork.

Minotaurs - Echoes

Apparently from Guelph, Ontario? Very cool, would like to see them live.

Puddles Pity Party - Folsom Prison Pinball Wizard

Been a while since I've posted some Puddles.

Leo James Conroy - Forbidden Fruit

'Open mic night.' Right.

Senbei - Ningyo

Well this is pretty dang cool.

Rundfunk-Tanzorchester Ehrenfeld - Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger

Crazy live performance of this little ditty.

Thundamentals - Never Say Never

Funk. Fridays. Yessir.

Warren Zevon - Roland The Headless Thompson Gunner

Here's an old-timey classic from a great songwriter gone too soon.

Socially Exceptable - Life Ain't Fair

Freddy Beach hip-hop tag team champions NFP and Ceeb Dread. Whatsup.

Black Pistol Fire - Speak Of The Devil

I like this loud business. Let's mix in some blues with that grunge.

Rage Against The Machine - No Shelter

Alright, alright. We'll do something metal. Just play it loud, ok?

The True Loves - Famous Last Words

Still got energy? I hear ya. Let's keep it funky.

Anderson Paak - Come Down

It's Saturday. That means it's time to get down. Shout outs to G-Load.

Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats - NPR Tiny Desk Concert

High quality Friday afternoon sunshine sociable music. I could go for a pint.

1. I Need Never Get Old

2. Look It Here

3. I've Been Failing You

4. Mellow Out

Young Fathers - In My View

New album on the way from these cats. Did you know they're from Scotland? This new track reminds me a bit of Massive Attack in the production.

Kimbra - Human

I posted a song that apparently featured Kimbra in it the other day though I'm not super convinced. Haven't actually heard any new music from her in a while. New album apparently coming in April. Looking forward to it, always find her work interesting if not great.

Ravyn Lenae - Sticky

First song I've ever heard from this artist. Super phat.

Hey Rosetta! - I've Been Asleep For A Long, Long Time

This is supposed to be Metal Monday. Well let's be honest for a moment, there are no rules around here. Rules are for the birds. Please direct any complaints you might have to this brick wall.

I slept for about 13 hours last night. Straight. On the couch. TKO'd. No dinner. No Superbowl. No writing. Suffice to say I was tired. Sleep didn't really happen for me apart from a couple hours nap here for there from about Thursday. Starting to think I have too much on the go.

Today is catch-up day. El Bloggo is now good to go. Sort of. Still have a few Best Of's to get to further down the road.

In the meantime Tim Baker & Co. are bringing me back to life. Hope they're enjoying whatever it is they've been up to since December. Probably a lot of not much.

Fort Knox Five - Hipster Run Things

Shout-outs to Evil C. This is actually the DC's Finest Remind Remix.

B00ty - Loosen Up

Saturday. Dance. Chunes. I dare you not to boogie.

Five Alarm Funk - Widowmaker

Funk Friday. Complete with shark and gorilla.

Gowan - Strange Animal

Throwback Thursday.

I wanted to post the original 1985 video, alas I couldn't embed it so....

2006 live piano version in the Glenn Gould Theatre it is.

P.S. it's February.

Gregory Porter - Be Good (Lion's Song)

It's hump day. Cool down with a little jazz.

Alexander F - Call Me Pretty

Apparently Kimbra is in this track somewhere. Righto.

Matt Wells - You Walk Behind

I didn't have an appropriately heavy track cued up for Metal Monday, so here's a throwback acoustic rendition of a dope track I posted once upon a time.

Zoot Woman - Ordinary Face

I was gonna post the music video for this track, but then found this acoustic version. There's a bunch of them on their channel.

Boney M - Gotta Go Home

It's Saturday. That means it's time for dancin'. Let's do it disco. If you think you might have heard that hook in another song more recently, you're gat dang right.

Shogun - Vulcan

Wooooo this Scotsman spittin' fiya! Warning, PG-13 language.

Chousand - Wizard Wig

What happened to these guys? This song was simple but catchy.

Fader Creep - Reality Hits You Hard Bro

Far and away the best 'remix' of George Lindell's ridiculous recollection of the incident in Arizona. Always enjoyed Fader Creep's videos, a bit dark and well constructed.

Arga Bileg - Bayad

How about some groovy neo-traditional Mongolian jazz?

The Distillers - Drain The Blood

If we're gonna post a cover, might as well post the originals. Had almost forgotten about them. Are they metal enough? I'm gonna say they qualify.

Lauren Wakefield - Bittersweet

Came across this talented artist completely by surprise. The first video was this cover song which was pretty decent. This is an original. Great voice.

Louis La Roche - All I Had

What is it about stage names? How much does the headline influence the song's impact? Is it merely for purposes of attraction? Would this track be any less funky if it was released by Brett Ewels?

I don't know the answers to these, as they seem by and large subjective. Gotta admit though, if Louis La Roche had a sound this would be it.

Grand Analog - Mutations

Brand new videoooooooo.

The Acorn - Rapids

The video's a bit different... I do like this track.

Measha Brueggergosman & Martin Short - Misty

Who knew Martin could sing? Measha is from Fredericton. Small world.

The Cranberries - Ode To My Family

Was just a few weeks ago that I posted their biggest song. Suppose this could have been posted yesterday, but the other track was already queued up when I heard the news. A terrible shame. Rest easy Dolores.

Nigel Hall Band - Everybody Wants To Rule The World

It's too bad there isn't a soundboard recording of this somewhere. At least none that I know of... but there is another video of this exact performance. Maybe someone could do some doctoring? Really enjoy this arrangement of a timeless classic.

Dreamcar - Kill For Candy

The weekend isn't over yet. Let's keep the tempo high. These guys are a 'super-group' made up of members from No Doubt and AFI.

Azari & III - Manic

It's Saturday, and you know what that means. Time for funky beats.

The Afghan Whigs - Demon In Profile

Nice to see these guys still rockin' out.

The Verve Pipe - The Freshmen

Throwback Thursday. Because why not.

Steve N Seagulls - Thunderstruck

This one isn't as good as The Trooper, but it's still great fun.

Redman - Da Goodness

Such a great track, butchered by censorship. Somebody rip the proper audio and mix it with the video because this is just horrific.

Heilung - Krigsgaldr

Metal Monday. Viking opera? From Denmark.

Watch the whole LIFA concert here.

BRNS - Many Chances

Had to post this for the video alone. Turns out I like the song too.

The Avalanches - Because I'm Me

It's Saturday. We need some dancing music. I got just the one.

Kill Chicago - Take The City

These guys are good.  From Fredericton. Best appreciated live.

Washed Out - Burn Out Blues

It's the first Thursday of 2018. Are we allowed to feel burned out yet?

Barenaked Ladies - Break Your Heart

My favorite song from a band that died unceremoniously in 2009. I debated posting this fairly recent version by Steven Page but then thought it would be more appropriate to post the full band in their heyday.

Mogwai - Helican 1

This feels like a year-in-review montage type of song.

Bishop Bullwinkle - Hell To The Naw Naw

Whaddup 2018. Thought I forgot about ya?
