Ministry - The Land of Rape and Honey (live Toronto 1988)



The excellent live video of "So What?" has disappeared from the tubes so I had to go with my second favorite.

The Clientele - We Could Walk Together (live)



So I'm sitting here with a glass of Glenlivet and Linda Colley's Britons, listening to this record...not too bad considering what a bad couple weeks it's been.

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Howl



Still strugglin' a bit in my personal life, so here's another downer.

T.Rex - 20th Century Boy



God, this riff is awesome.

Wanted a live version but it was either bad quality or TOTP-type "not really live."

E-Town Concrete - Mandibles



Hello, internet. It's been a minute.

I'm not sure how I feel about this band. I mean...it's heavy, but at the same time...it's kind of like if John Cena decided to start a hardcore band. They came up in a discussion with a friend the other day so I figured might as well throw it up.

I really wanted to put up "Baptism" but there's no decent video of it, sadly.

BORIS Doubleshot..."Statement" and "My Neighbor Satan"





OK so these songs rip beyond any real logical level of uh, rippage.

But when I worked at Hot Topic (yeah yeah) and we had "Smile" on the store stereo, "Statement" was on there...and it's not on any version of the record I've obtained since...in fact, the records I've gotten have been almost totally different from what I heard in-store. Come on now.

Dog Eat Dog - Who's The King? (Live)



I have been trying to figure out for about a year why I like this song so damn much.

Live @ Dynamo 1995

Sparks - This Town Ain't Big Enough



TOTP 1975

Giving the sad shit a break, I took some Sudafed PE earlier and it's giving me the most wicked medicine head ever...so let's get weird.

Lou Reed and John Cale - Berlin (Live)



Live in Paris 1972.

Alkaline Trio - Cringe (Live)



Alright, that's enough. Back to my wallowing in self-pity.

At least I'm doing it with decent music.

Smoking Popes - Born To Run (live)



This is the only Springsteen song I like and I couldn't find any good versions of "Let's Hear It For Love," which is what I really wanted to put up.

Live on JBTV.

Nine Inch Nails with David Bowie - Hurt (Live)



I just got dumped this weekend so now all six of my readers get to deal with soul-crushing videos for the next couple weeks.

But in all seriousness...this video...best ever or best ever?

The Specials - Skinhead Moonstop (Live)



GIMME SOME OF THAT OLD FASHIONED....MOOOONSTOMPIN

Unrest - Make Out Club



I'm having problems coming up with things to say about these videos lately.

Remember makeoutclub.com?

That shit was whack.

They Might Be Giants - Ana Ng



Nothing much to say beyond this is a fun song with an equally fun video.

Dizzee Rascal - Sirens



Concept-wise, this is one of my favorite videos of the last few years.

I miss the "video as art" concept.

Cowboy Junkies - Sweet Jane



It's been a minute, but most of the stuff I've wanted to put up lately is embed-disabled.

Wednesday, January 28, 2009

The Psychedelic Furs - Heaven



Like hell am I going to pick something as obvious as "Pretty In Pink."

H2O - What Happened?



One of the best records of last year. I loved putting this track on when I worked at Hot Topic and watching people totally miss the inherent irony of that song being played in that place.

Also, Matt Skiba is gorgeous.
