The Monday 15!

So last week, I was Debating at the National Qualifying Debate tournament Friday and Saturday,so I had no time to do the Friday Five. I was celebrating the end of debate season this weekend, so I had to delay the "Friday Five" to Monday. Don't worry, I found some good stuff over my break, I've been watching videos like crazy, so enjoy these 15 (!) videos.

Warpaint - Undertow. Hate me if you want to, but I just got into this band not too long ago. I didn't know what I was missing, and wow. I'm just at a loss for words here. To me, their music sounds like a modern day version of the Cocteau Twins (one of my favorite bands)


Extra! Warpaint Bees From Coachella '11


Another Extra! Warpaint - Elephants From Coachella '11


Free Kitten - Smack. I've been trying to find their early realeases on Vynil, but I'm not haveing any success. I could aways download them, but I'm not a huge fan of downloading music.


More Free Kitten! Teenie weenie Boppie


PJ Harvey - On Battleship Hill. This is the last of the "Let England Shake" videos. I still have to post more of them, but I'll save that for later weeks.


LiLiPUT - Turk and Split Live. I think that the opening part is in German, but that doesn't distract from the music.


The Pretenders - Mystery Achievement Live in France '79. This is some amazing footage. Its clear, and it soungs good. This might be my favorite live version of this song.


Extra! The Pretenders - Up The Neck Live in France '79.


Black Tambourine - Throw Aggi Off The Bridge.


Extra! Black Tambourine - Black car


Helium - Superball. I used to listen to a lot of Helium, I don't know why I stoped listening to them because they are a pretty good band.


Even more Helium! Honeycomb.

Even more WILD FLAG videos!

Future Crimes - From South By Southwest '11. This was a while ago, but I wanted to show you all this anyway. Its addicting!


IFC Interview. I find this interview kind of awkward, but I'd still watch it.

Sweet Saturday Six

I pushed the Friday Five to Saturday this week because I finished this post on Saturday instead of Friday. I had some time this week, so I kind of went "in depth" and I featured some new artists that are worth recommending.
PJ Harvey - Let England Shake. I'm really liking these short films for every song on PJ's album.


OOIOO - Uma. I had to include an experimental song this week. Naturally, anything that Yoshimi P is involved in is awesome, so OOIOO isn't an exception.


Black Tambourine - For Ex Lovers Only. Black Tambourine is another band that I was into for a while, but forgot all about. If you are into Shoegaze and Twee pop, you will love Black Tambourine.


Free Kitten - Strawberry Milk.


Scout Niblett - Big Bad Man. If you like old school PJ Harvey or Cat Power, then I recommend Scout Niblett. Her guitar playing is raw, and her music is fresh too.


Siouxsie and the Banshees - Israel. Apparently, this is was written as a Christmas song. Guess I learned something new today.


Classic Sleater-Kinney (kind of).
Nardwuar vs. Sleater-Kinney. I had to show you all this interview; it is just too good to miss. Trust me, the interviewer (Nardwaur) is not an idiot and is accurately pretty smart. He does a good job interviewing.

Funtastic Friday Five!

Happy Friday everyone! I hope that it was a good one for you! Anyway, I'm back (on time) to present the my 5+ videos for the week! I even got this done early too! I'm on vacation for a week, so keep checking back often so you can read my latest music related posts! I don't know if I'm going to write album reviews, my thoughts on bands and and the current music world, or just do some mini reviews on the latest albums that I've just bought. Anyway, I'm sure that you all will enjoy it.

St Vincent - Actor out of Work. This is a rehearsal video. I've been listening to a lot of St. Vincent recently. I think I'm going to buy one of their albums over vacation, so I can have something new to listen to.


GBH - Go Home. I'd thought that I would change things up a bit. (Don't kill me if I say that I don't own this album)


Pixies - Bone Machine (Live 2004). I've also been playing this song a lot. Who wouldn't? It is so enjoyable!


Cocteau Twins - Wax and Wane. I'm trying to find more live footage of the Cocteau Twins to share. This footage is pretty grainy and old, but it is brilliant. It really showcases the early Cocteau Twins. If you look really closely, you can see a Killing Joke Poster. Did they open for them?


Free Kitten - What is Fair live 1994. I'm going to sound crazy, but this might be the first all female super-group (Kim Gordon, Yoshimi P, Julie Cafritz, Mark Ibold. Fine, you have to subtract Mark Ibold on the early albums) not Wild Flag (Go ahead and  kill me). If I feel like it, I'll prove my point in a later blog post. Anyway, this is a really good track. Listen to the lyrics, they will enlighten you.

MORE WILD FLAG!

I'm having Wild Flag mania although they haven't officially released anything yet. But if you have the time crawl Youtube and watch some of their live videos. It is everything that a S-K Fan (or non fan) would enjoy. Heck, if my Mom enjoys Wild Flag, then you sure will.

Wild Flag - "Arabesque" live 11/18/10. They are awesome and funny at the same time! How rad!
