DAVID BOWIE - "Five Years" (Live 1972)

Quite possible my favorite Bowie song:



but the whole RISE AND FALL OF ZIGGY STARDUST AND THE SPIDERS FROM MARS album pretty much kicks ass.

GREG HAWKES & TIM MANN (NEW CARS) - "Moving In Stereo"

Greatest version of this song EVER! On ukulele!



HERE'S the clean version.

And HERE's the NEW CARS' website.

LES SAVY FAV - "Patty Lee"

An all-time favorite:



WE USED TO BE GODS
NOW WE'RE SO PLAIN

MGMT - "Time to Pretend"

This is my current favorite song, and my view of the Apocalypse:

Here's the crappy YouTube version, with "Embedding disabled by request." Whatevuh, rockstars.

And HERE'S the very nice version that takes about 2 minutes to load on my computer, but well worth it. I really like this band.

Oh, and here they are preforming this song on Letterman:



I like them muchly.

RAMONES - "Time Has Come Today"

Absolutely the best Ramones video:



The church of Joey Ramone.

SELECTER - "Celebrate the Bullet"

Best SELECTER song ever



Ever.

Santogold - "L.E.S. Artistes"

WOW! Great tune, weirdass shit! Love it!



Yep, right up my alley! Love her voice. Does it sound '80s to you?

BLACK KIDS - "I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How to Dance With You"

Is this guy channeling Robert Smith of The CURE, or what?



Still, kinda fun.

M.I.A. - "Paper Planes"

There's just something about this gal:



She nails it?

Oh, and nice use of CLASH - Straight to Hell...

DEE LITE - "Groove is in the Heart"

If you don't like this one



you have absolutely no soul. Even Satan don't want you.

As my friend J-P sez, any vid with Bootsy is ACES!

1990s - "You're Supposed to Be My Friend"

I really really like this one:



But boy are they ugly. Doesn't matter. The song kicks serious ass.

MAGAZINE - "Shot By Both Sides"

Another classic from a somewhat-overlooked band:



I work my way to the heart of the crowd.

LOVE LIKE FIRE - "I Will"

For some reason I really liked this:



Maybe her vocals? Oh, and HERE'S a better version that takes entirely too long to load.

MAGAZINE - "The Light Pours Out of Me"

I want this song played at my funeral:



And does that bassist have my sister's sweater on?

HIVES - "Tick Tick"

OK, this is just one huge ass-kicking song and video:



And HERE is the better version than that YouTube crap.

I really dig the Hives.

MODEST MOUSE - "Invisible"

You're not invisible inside your car
No matter what stupid sort of mission you're on

And here's a great version of this video.

Just great.

GRANDADDY - "Jed's Other Poem"

This is one of the first videos I found in my internet prowls... it's simply amazing.



CLICK HERE TO VIEW BETTER VERSION

That's all programmed into an old Apple-II I think. That means nothing to you young fucks. I really like how the source code rolls at the end...

ARCADE FIRE - "Neon Bible"

This video is really cool. Well, not this YouTube version



but the one you find HERE... it's interactive in that you click around on it while it's playing and different things occur... you can make it different every time. As a friend said "THIS is what the internet was supposed to deliver!" Indeed.

HOLY HAIL - "Cool Town Rock"

Mesmerizing...



Cool rock, you know how I throw my hair back.
