I like this song quite a bit. It's a little forced in the second verse (you can just say you don't like the party and would rather be hanging out with people you enjoy, no need to put on the pretense of discussing Super Important Stuff), but the vibe is nice, her voice is solid, and it sorta kinda brings trip-hop back into the Top 40 for a couple weeks.

Isis + Tim Hecker – Live Improvised Collaboration
I found this a couple of months ago and was entranced by it. I like Tim Hecker quite a bit, and giving him guitar feedback to twist and contort is a lot of fun to listen to. I've come back to this video many times over the past few months.
I haven't seen the documentary that this is apparently a part of. I should probably remedy that at some point.
Anamanaguchi – Scott Pilgrim / Another Winter
Video game music is one of the true pleasures in life, but it's difficult to find in a live setting (outside of, say, one of the "Video Games Live" concerts - which are very entertaining, but not quite what I'm looking for here).
Luckily, Anamanaguchi has me covered.
"Another Winter" is the standout, and is one of my favored video game music tracks, but the title cut is fun, too.
The Thermals – A Pillar of Salt
This song was probably played in the old basement. Heck, this exact video might have even been played.
This particular song is one that I can go a long time without hearing, but when I want to hear it, I want to hear it seven times in a row. I listened to it yesterday - the rest of my week is doomed.
Wolf Alice – Moaning Lisa Smile
I don't think this got played during the "best of" lists in December. I've been enjoying My Love is Cool quite a bit the past month or so.
Jelly Roll Morton – Wolverine Blues
Did someone say jelly?
Apologies for the lack of video. I wasn't able to find any live footage of the man himself performing.
Radiohead — The Bends
This is such a cool version of a great song.
Cheap Trick — California Man/Surrender
This is one goofy fun video. The parents and kids audience, obvious lip syncing, dry ice fog. Rick Neilsen looks like Pee Wee Herman.
Guided By Voices – Over the Neptune/Mesh Fox Gear
It's a FMD video cross link!! From Propeller.
Sound quality isn't the greatest but a good version nonetheless. In the upper pantheon of GBV songs.
Pavement – Unfair
Pavement gets classified as a slacker band or lo-fi. But man they could also jam too. This one rocks!
