Matthew Sweet

So I've been on a mid 90's modern rock kick as of late. Reminds me of undergrad and firing up the discman (what?) while walking down Geddes to class.

Matthew Sweet - Where You Get Love

Matthew Sweet - We're the Same

Christmas in Hollis

I seem to remember linking to this video last year, so this might be an annual thing. Jess summed it up best, I think: "Awwwwwww yeah."

Sol.illaquists of Sound

Respekt to Pandora for introducing me to these guys.

Today's artist: Sol.illaquists of Sound. Similar to Sage Francis / Non-Prophets. Perhaps a bit more hard core in their lyrics, yet the whole vibe is somehow more chill. Vegan backpacker hip hop is diverse like that.

Metablogging

When I decided to start a blog, it started off as I imagine many blogs do: With ideas of sharing all kinds of cool insights and entertaining stories with friends. That was the idea, anyway. As it turns out, I have discovered that I'm neither insightful nor entertaining. And I can't write worth beans either. Hence, the monthly posting schedule.

As an aside, I can't wait until VH1 gets around to doing "I love the aughts" or whatever. They'll undoubtedly make fun of the blogging phenomenon in a way that makes us laugh and feel embarrassed.

Anyway, I choose not to be deterred by my disdain for writing. I still enjoy sports and music, and I'd like to share some of that with people. So don't be surprised if 95% of the content here ends up being from YouTube. I'll end up posting a lot of artists I discover, as well as some music videos from back in the day. Or at least that's the plan...

Have a great weekend, all....

How the rest go?

Placebo

While wasting time on the internet a number of months ago, I came across a review of Placebo's first CD written on this guy's blog. He recounts how he first discovered one of my favorite musical groups, so I might as well tell my story.

It was back in '96 or '97, which means I must have been living somewhere on Geddes at the time. It was a day when MTV still played some music videos, but the transition to its current form was underway. One of my favorite shows at the time was 120 Minutes, which I believe was hosted by Matt Pinfield at the time. The video for Nancy Boy came on, and I decided to pick up the CD next time I made it down to Wherehouse. Since then, I have worn that disc out. It seems to find its way into heavy rotation in my car during the summer - especially on the way to the golf course, for whatever reason.

Since then, I've acquired five more albums for Placebo. Tracks range from ballads, straight rocking out, or the 9 minute soliloquy-in-a-trance. I've posted a few of my favorite songs from various albums below. YouTube has literally hundreds of Placebo music videos as well, one of which I've included. Enjoy.



Placebo - Lady of the Flowers

Placebo - Pure Morning

Placebo - Special K

Placebo - Special Needs

Placebo - Infra-Red




Placebo - Twenty Years

Lucky Charms

For those of you who haven't yet seen it, there is apparently a Leprechaun in Alabama.




By itself, that's some funny shit. Even better is the remix:





One of my coworkers actually has that clip as his ringtone.

Damn, you f***ers are pushy!

Here are some links to keep you occupied...

Bo is a grumpy old man.

DJ Joey A. In the house.

Del is at the Pig on October 24th. Mark your calendars.



Giant Panda - yet another noteworthy act you've probably not heard of. Which is unfortunate. On my to-do list is a more thorough review, which hopefully will happen at some point. In the meantime, here's the best that youtube has to offer: a live clip of "Super Fly" which is one of the best tracks on the CD.
