Death From Above - Caught Up

So they scrapped the 1979 part. Oh well. Still pretty sharp for a two-piece.

Friday, July 6, 2018

Honeyfeet - Sinner

I think this qualifies as funk. I have a feeling it would be killer live.

Thursday, July 5, 2018

Smashing Pumpkins - Cherub Rock

Classic Pumpkins. From the moment that intro started you knew that Siamese Dream was going to kick ass. And oh, how it did. Those were the days my friends.

Wednesday, July 4, 2018

Thick Paint - How Did It Happen?

This is Graham Ulicny from Reptar. That band is awesome. This is good too.

Coheed & Cambria - Unheavenly Creatures

New Coheed. It must be hard to make new albums when you've already out put out some of the most epic rock albums in recent memory. I wasn't a big fan of The Color Before The Sun but this sounds like a step back towards older stuff. That's a good thing.

Evergreen - Comme Si

I don't know how we got from yesterday to today. French Funk Friday.

The Watchmen - All Uncovered

One of the greatest Canadian rock bands.

Arctic Monkeys - Four Out Of Five

Never been huge into these guys but this album sounds... different. Good different. Definite David Bowie vibes from this track. Cool video too.

Monday, June 25, 2018

Big Nazo - Bionic Boohoo

What's not to love about a bunch of aliens rocking out on stage?

Sunday, June 24, 2018

Chvrches - The Mother We Share

Do these guys have any new stuff that's any good? Not really sure how I haven't posted this one before. The original is solid too but this is the best version.

Saturday, June 23, 2018

Lorenzo BITW & Nawtyboi Tattoo - Hello!

A little more mainstream than I usually post but what can I say, it's catchy.

Bonnie Prince Billy - I See A Darkness

There's a few versions of this track out there. The brooding original is good, then there was this up-tempo version which is actual cool too, and then of course there's the Johnny Cash cover. Take your pick.

Tom Fun Orchestra - Bottom Of The River

We got a little toooo happy yesterday so let's sink back to the dark, dark depths. I love the animation in this video. Tom Fun was great.

Triumph - Lay It On The Line

Live in '87. I can't even imagine a show this epic coming to Halifax now.

Wednesday, June 13, 2018

Austin Kimble - Dear Freddie

I don't post enough jazz around here.

Well really... I don't post enough anything...

Sunday, June 10, 2018

Saturday, June 9, 2018

Lily Allen - Lost My Mind

Brand new from Lily. Decent Saturday afternoon warm-up track.

Friday, June 8, 2018

Thursday, June 7, 2018

Jane's Addiction - Been Caught Stealing

Throwback Thursday rarely gets cooler than this. This was easily one of the most memorable videos when it came around. Back when music videos were on TV...

Wednesday, June 6, 2018

Foo Fighters - The Sky Is A Neighborhood

I definitely prefer older Foos. This is a bit too anthemic for my taste.

Monday, June 4, 2018

The Heavy Minds - Rivers

More grunge than metal, but that's hardly room to complain.

Saturday, June 2, 2018

Format:B - Chunky

Proper solid Saturday night beats. Complete with cowbell.

Friday, June 1, 2018

Gorillaz - Humility

These cats have always been a bit of a mood swing for me - sometimes they're the bomb and others it's a giant 'meh'. This track is somewhere in between.

Thursday, May 31, 2018

The Doors - When The Music's Over

From the Isle of Wight festival that was released earlier this year as a DVD. It must have been mindblowing to see this in person.

Wednesday, May 30, 2018

Gary Jules - Mad World

One of the great cover songs that has possibly surpassed the original. This is a live take from 2013 along with Mylène Farmer, accompanied by Yvan Cassar on piano.

Tuesday, May 29, 2018

JonTron - Firework

Never thought I'd be posting a Katy Perry song on here but at least it's a cover. Some of the animation in this one is phenomenal.

Monday, May 28, 2018

Monster Magnet - Space Lord

Germany, August 2010. The song was a dozen years old at this point and Dave Wyndorf was pushing 50. These guys could still put on a decent show. Remember the original video? These guys were the cock of the walk for a few months back in the day.

N.O.R.E. - Nothin'

Wish this wasn't censored... still one of the phattest party beats.

Thursday, May 24, 2018

Skydiggers - What Do You See?

So this is more than 20 years old. From the crummy quality of this video they probably took it straight from some old tape lying in a dusty box in a closet.

Wednesday, May 23, 2018

Yorks - Trial By Fire

Great track by these fine upstanding young men from Fredericton.

Tuesday, May 22, 2018

Janelle Monáe - Make Me Feel

I haven't listed to this young lady since her album was one of my favorites from... way back in 2010. This is unabashedly Prince. Interested to hear the rest of the album.

Travis Bowman - Dreams

Speaking of muppets, I wonder what fool decided the Hotel California video couldn't stay on YouTube? Thankfully you can still see it here. In the meantime I'll have to settle for this little ditty.

Saturday, May 19, 2018

Shamir - Call It Off

This is hella catchy and who doesn't like muppets.

Thursday, May 17, 2018

Tuesday, May 15, 2018

Adam Baldwin - Love On The Rocks

Yesterday was heavy. Today is light. Springsteen fan? Naaaah...

Monday, May 14, 2018

Butthole Surfers - Goofy's Concern

That album was underappreciated. Video is a live cut in Montreal circa 2009.

Sunday, May 13, 2018

Conkarah & Rosie Delmah - Hello

We need something super chill after that banger yesterday. This fits the bill. Is this one better than the original? Pretty solid reinvention.

Saturday, May 12, 2018

Tove Lo - Disco Tits

Not quite disco... but I think I can get away with it this time.

Warning: PG-13 content.

Mod Sun - Shoot 'Em Down

Not really my usual style but it's got some funky production goin' on and I have to admit it's catchy. That'll do, donkey, that'll do.

White Zombie - More Human Than Human

This is the Pet Paradox video for the King's Harem Mix of one of the greatest industrial tracks of all time. Warning: both the song and video may cause spasms or insanity.

Saturday, April 28, 2018

Nick Höppner - Boiler Room London

Been a while since I posted a full DJ set. It's Saturday. Get your groove on.

Monday, April 23, 2018

Avicii - Hey Brother

Gotta give respect where it's due. Cheers mate.

Lady Dandelion - Lonesome Boy

Really like this jazzy trip-hop sound. Great song. More please!

Sufjan Stevens & Gallant - Blue Bucket Of Gold

So... I'm gonna go ahead and say this is better than the original version.

Dude's vocal range is ridiculous.

Saturday, April 14, 2018

Ian Pooley - Followed

One of my favorite electronic producers. Genius in simplicity.

Friday, April 13, 2018

Ondatrópica - Hummingbird

It's Friday. Here's a little something to help you mix up that cocktail.

Thursday, April 12, 2018

G. Tom Mac - Cry Little Sister

The anthem from a near-legendary cult classic. This song still has weight. Here's another version that you might not have heard before. Can't top the original.

Tuesday, April 10, 2018

Black Honey - Dig

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

Monday, April 9, 2018

Judas Priest - Spectre

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

Sunday, April 8, 2018

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.

Saturday, April 7, 2018

Friday, April 6, 2018

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.

Thursday, April 5, 2018

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.

Wednesday, April 4, 2018

David Byrne - Everybody's Coming To My House

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

Monday, April 2, 2018

Skull Fist - Bad For Good

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

Sunday, April 1, 2018

Bicep - Glue

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