Happy Friday everyone! I've had a hectic last couple of weeks but I promised myself that I would get this Friday Five out on time. So here it is, The Fruitful return with extra videos! I even added some new artists this week, so enjoy!
Sugarcubes - Hit. Hey look, Its Bjork! I love this video.
Minutemen - Do You Want New Wave? Or Do You Want The Truth?
Black Randy and the Metrosquad - I slept in an arcade. How can you not like this band?
Sonic Youth - Rain on Tin. I'm slightly obsessed with this song. Its so mellow, and it just goes into this awesome noise break guitar goodness. It is just prefect. (I'm really liking Kim's SG bass right now)
Shonen Knife - Brown Mushrooms. This is such a fun music video. All of Shonen Knife's videos are fun, but I really enjoy this one.
WILD FLAG!!!
Alright, I had to throw in the Wild Flag Video. Come on! KEXP Filmed it at South By Southwest! Its (almost) band new! This is probably the best live footage I seen this year. I'm pretty stoked about Wild Flag right now (I have been for the past while really).
(might just be me, but does this sound like Sonic Youth mixed with something else to you?)
It is another Friday my friends! Rejoice with the some of the best music that I found this week and the since that I will have some seriously awesome blogging to unleash to you all later today (hopefully) and later this weekend! Keep checking back here because I will be writing fast this weekend and when I get back from (I'm hoping) the best gig ever!!! Ok, with out further ado, Friday Five.
Ziggy Stardust (aka David Bowie) and the Spiders - Moonage Daydream. I will admit that I don't have Ziggy Startdust and the Spiders from Mars in my CD collection, but that's Ok. I'm going to buy it sooner or later. By the way, this live version is boss. Just sayin'. Wait until 5:04 3:42 if you don't get it.
Shonen Knife - Devil House. The witch hats fit the season right?
PJ Harvey- Rebbecca (B-side to The Wind) . Here is another amazing PJ Harvey B-side. I'm still waiting for a proper B-sides/Live/Rarity album from PJ. Here are some more b-side videos.
Ariel Pink-Young Pilot Astray
Classic Sleater Kinney videos!
Sleater Kinney Trackers Interview. Remember that whole "Girl Power" Movement in the late 90's and the early 00's? I guess Trackers or whatever this show is called thought it was a good idea to put SK on their show, that is good and bad; the good is that Sleater Kinney is on TV, the bad is that this is one worst interviews that I have seen. Regardless, I think it's kind of funy to see the reactions to the bad questions. (No wonder why it sucks, its on oxygen...) Soon to come, "Friday Five, the crappy interview edition."
To offset the bad interview, here are the 2 awesome songs that they played.
You're No Rock 'n' Roll Fun. The facts at the bottom of the screen are kind of funny (or at least for this fan).
#1 Must have
Come back for more later! I know its kind of late for me posting, but wait for a little bit, and you will find my surprise!
This week flat out sucked. So this Friday Five is all about getting all of the bad anger stuff out of my system. So here is five songs that I picked that I listen to when I'm quite angry. I suggest playing lound and screaming along with the lyrics.
Vivian Girls - No
Nirvana- In Bloom - Any Nirvana works when your mad.
L7 - S***list - I got to write one of these...
GBH - Knife Edge
Black Flag - My War
Extra! You seen it coming, A Sleater Kinney song.. Entertain. Please play it louder than a Large Jumbo Jet aircraft at take off.
I really want to find a good mosh pit right now... But these videos are the best substitute that I have right now =P
B52s Rock lobster. Awesomeness. Do I have to say anything else about this song?
My Bloody Valentine - Bilinda Song. This is a leaked track from the was to be released box set. Still no box set, but me and lots of other people sure want one!
Shonen Knife - Tomato Head - I want one of those tomato heads from the video. 1+ for the synchronized head banging.
Sleater-Kinney - Ironclad - Cambridge MA. Hah, this was 10 years ago. (wow that's a long time ago)
The Muffs - Beat Your Heart Out
Extra! Drive Like Jehu - O Pencil Sharp. I love this song, try to make it thorugh the whole 9:43 secconds.
