RIP Lou Reed 1941-2013

Chuck Klosterman wrote more eloquently than I ever could about the man. I'll just play a few clips, instead. You were a legend, Lou.

I linked to this in the comments yesterday, but since this joint appears to be a ghost town, no one will notice. (The look Lou gives Antony at the end of this performance is just perfect.)

PJ Morton – Don’t Ever Leave

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bt6vuJFBtV4

Another young dude making a bit of a splash out of New Orleans. He tickles the keys for maroon five when they're on tour. Don't hold that against him.

Burning Spear – Christopher Columbus

i was going to play this on columbus day, scheduled it up and everything, but then i remembered that cheaptoy week was starting. anyway, it's late and i'm too lazy to look for anything else right now, so i pulled this out of the trash and brushed it off. don't worry, it's still good. it was in a wrapper on top of a magazine and everything.

Enslaved – Thoughts Like Hammers

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVMWXZC-_L8

And now we've come to the end of my week. Thanks for letting me reflect, everyone. This is my most recent album purchase and I became addicted from the opening riff of this song, which opens the album Riitiir, they're most recent release. I really need to explore their back catalog. This is a pretty great mix of the stuff I like about heavy metal. There's the growl and the clean vocals, excellent guitar work, an obvious passion for what they're playing/singing about, and norse mythology related lyrics (always a good source for this kind of music.)

Running Wild – Under Jolly Roger

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KABbjTQDLdk

Now that we've gone through how I got here, I'm going to spend the weekend playing things I think are awesome. This video is great because its extremely obvious that, even after 25 years (to that point in 2002. They're still going, although they did split up for a bit in 2009) these guys are clearly still having a blast singing about pirates. This makes for great driving music, by the way.
