Why? Because it’s a mighty fine song, plain and simple. I heard it for the first time in years at a pub this week, and I’ve had it in my head ever since. I know I’ve already recently posted a video or two by Canadian bands who were big in the nineties, but what can […]

Just promise me you won’t watch it until after you’ve taken the time to look up Arizona Senate Bill 1070. After that, go ahead and look up Arizona’s history on race relations. And then, if you want, come back here and we can all have a yell in the comments section about the sheer ridiculousness […]

And since this is such an incredibly busy week, I hope you don’t mind if I just post the video and let it speak for itself. It’s a timely one, and a good one, and I hope you enjoy it.

If you shut your eyes, this could just as easily be a brand new, retro-tinged 7″ by a bunch of kids from the UK. And if that’s what it was, then I wouldn’t be surprised if someone like Steve Lamacq were to champion it. But it’s not a brand new UK single; it’s a track […]

Happy Good Friday, everyone! The video I’m posting today doesn’t have much of a religious or cultural significance, I’ll grant you that. I’m choosing it because today’s a lazy day, and I figure that in that sense at least, it’s appropriate. Which isn’t to say that Primus are by any means a lazy band. They […]

“In case you haven’t made your selection yet,” my friend Rishi asked me in an email last night, “may I make a nomination?” In this case, he definitely can. I’m very much a fan of the Saint Etienne version of this song; it’s a departure from the Neil Young original, to say the least, but […]

Junkhouse guitarist and Catherine North owner Dan Achen suffered a fatal heart attack at a hockey game on Monday night. He was fifty-one years old. What do you say we all take a moment to enjoy the video for one of the band’s greatest hits in his honour? By the way, ChartAttack has a list […]

Industrial and EBM artists are often guilty of taking themselves a bit too seriously – sometimes to completely unwarranted degrees. Which is why it’s pretty nice, every once in a while, to see a group like Nitzer Ebb decide that the best way to shoot a video for a heavy, aggressive single is to go […]

I’ve mentioned Big Red Button in this space before, and when it came time to find something a little lighthearted to post this morning, I thought of their video for a track called “Sometimes” by a London producer named Mister Midi. It’s a great piece of animation, and pretty fine tune to boot. Do check […]

I’ve been going a little heavy with the videos lately, so today, let’s go with something lighter. If you’re like me, you’ve had a long week. Neri Per Caso is an Italian a cappella group. In 2008, they teamed up with fellow Italian Mario Biondi to record this version of “What a Fool Believes,” the […]
