R.E.M. – It’s the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)

Video 4 Comments

all right, for this special occasion, i really wanted to play "darker with the day", the stunningly beautiful finale to nick cave and the bad seeds' equally beautiful 2001 release no more shall we part. alas, except for a couple of blurry coffeehouse troubadours, there were no live performances to be found (i do recommend clicking on the above link in its stead).

barring that, we'll go for the obvious, hackneyed choice (as bS already scooped the blondie cut).

Embrace – 3 Is The Magic Number

Video 9 Comments

Jeff Buckley, De La Soul, and Blind Melon, have all taken turns with this School House Rock title before.  Here is an English group, Embrace. I chose them because the video was live and of the highest quality.

I wonder if Jobu is going to play Marvelous 3 or 3 Days Grace tomorrow.

Meat Puppets – Whirlpool

Video 3 Comments

i want to give a big thank you to AMR. another great installment in a great line of DJ weeks. well done, good sir. everything wasn't my cup o' tea, but i believe that's the point of DJ weeks, and the WGOM videos in general.

anyway, i believe he expressed regret that he wasn't able to get to the meat puppets, and i was sad he didn't get to it either. well, based on my research, classic MP performances are hard to come by on the YT, but here's one:

Ha Ha Tonka — Made Example of

Video

Couldn't end my week without playing some Tonka! At SXSW, March 2011.
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFDF1NSq4do
For those of you who found the other stuff I've played unlistenable, this music should appeal to broader audiences. I've said it before, but I think this is the best band in the world right now. Plenty more after the jump.

Zola Jesus — Night

Video 7 Comments

Live at Blast House Studios, two weeks ago in Madison.
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fi394sJ3tWI
Originally from Wisconsin, she recently moved to LA to get married. I regret that work responsibilities kept me from her concert two weekends ago at the Seventh Street Entry. I imagine she'll have bigger venues to play soon.
