Pitchfork Media has put together a list of what they think is the best 50 music videos from the 1990s. I'm not sure about some of videos on their list but most of them certainly take me back to happy times. Below are a few of my favorites. Enjoy! If you'd like to see the entire list, click on the link below all the videos. Daft Punk - Around the World Foo Fighters - Everlong Weezer - Buddy Holly
Tallest Man on Earth
Posted 08/26/10
Here is a nice live show of Tallest Man on Earth performing I Won't Be Found. This guy is so gifted, it hurts. If you don't already own his Shallow Grave album, you are DUMB. Get to iTunes music store or your local record shop now.
Ramona Falls - I Say Fever
Posted 07/28/10
"I Say Fever" - the first video from the Ramona Falls debut album Intuit. Directed by the ridiculously talented Stefan Nadelman, winner of a 2003 Sundance prize for his 22 minute film 'Terminal Bar', a prolific animator in the commericial field and the mastermind behind the Menomena Evil Bee video. Ramona Falls is Brent Knopf's first solo venture, but he has an extensive musical resume as part of trio Menomena (an indie rock band from Portland, OR, that's snagged plaudits from such tastemakers as Pitchfork Media and the New York Times.)
Apple iTunes in the Cloud?
Posted 07/02/10
Could iTunes be getting cloud capability that everyone has been asking about for years now? Man, wouldn't that be sweet. I could, in theory, stream all of my music from anywhere. I could even put my Lala-esque playlists back up on this site in the features section. Dope! Make it so Apple! Additionally, at least in rumor-ville, there is talk of wireless syncing. 'Bout Time!
Taken By Storm
Posted 06/22/10
A new documentary is in the works about the most influential album artist in history. Trust me, probably 80% of the albums you own were designed by Storm Thorgerson (if you have good taste in music of course). This guy is truly a genius. I have linked the Kickstarter project so that you can donate to make sure this film gets completed. Love it! "Storm Thorgerson designed 80% of your record collection and has been called the sixth member of Pink Floyd. This film about his life is guided by the lovely notion that beauty and poetic discovery can send us back in time. Soundtracks, signed posters, and original artwork await you."
My Time: Minus the Bear
Posted 05/18/10
I realize that I have already posted a music video for the single off of the new OMNI album. This new one, however, seems to be more of the official type. As you can probably tell, I can't really get enough of their music. Great stuff. For those of you who would like to get the new album, you can find a link to it here. If you want to get even more of their music, I highly recommend their Planet of Ice album which you can link to and listen to here.

Mike Patton's Mondo Cane
Posted 05/06/10
I'm really not sure what to make of this. Mike Patton, most notably of Faith No More fame has a new project. He is taking Italian classics and singing them behind a full orchestra. If that isn't your "WTF" moment of the week, I don't know what will be. Here is a description that I found on the linked page: Mike Patton of Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, Tomahawk, Peeping Tom and Fantomas fame is back with his latest musical endeavor, Mondo Cane. Not one to rest on his laurels Patton has dived right into the Italian songbook of pop songs from the 60’s and 70’s. Backed by the grandiose sounds of a full 40-piece orchestra and singing completely in Italian, Patton makes the music of Ennio Morricone, Gino Paoli, Johnny Mathis and more entirely his own. The title of the album is in reference to the notorious 1962 Italian shocumentary Mondo Cane and the translation is “the world is a dog”, appropriately fitting for a release bearing the Patton name.
Minus the Bear - My Time
Posted 03/09/10
Minus the Bear has a new album coming out May 4th and I, for one, can't wait to get my hands on it. Check out this little music video and get to lovin' it. Also notable is that they are touring around soon. Wish they were coming to Denver. Jerks.
Neutra Face: A Musical Typeface

Wow, this was almost TOO much but I had to post it because I really have to support my designer friends out there. One of those "hard to watch all the way through" videos. Yikes. * Thanks to Stacia for finding this for me.
Beatles Multitrack Masters
Posted 11/19/09
"While digging through Usenet, I stumbled on these three unidentified tracks that pick apart three of the Beatles' original multitrack masters, isolating and highlighting pieces from 'She's Leaving Home,' 'A Day in the Life,' and 'Come Together.' It's an astounding, and very listenable, glimpse into their recording process." She's Leaving Home A Day In the Life Come Together Amazingly cool, definitely worth a listen for any Beatle or music fan out there! * Thanks to codechemist for pointing this gem-of-a-link out.
Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet

Michael Jackson Dies
Posted 06/25/09
WHAT? What a weird story! Sure, he's creepy and eccentric but I never thought of him as "at risk". I am shocked and saddenned by the news of his passing. MJ, we will totally miss you. Your music has touched so many people and you were a true music genius of our time.I'm sure my copy of Off the Wall will be getting quite a few extra plays in the upcoming weeks and months.
We Won't Break

An amazing animation with drawings by James Jarvis and animation by Richard Kenworthy. I love this art style. Doesn't hurt that the music by Caribou fits it just perfectly.
A Robot Experiment
Posted 04/13/09
What a great project! Introducing the tweenbot, a cardboard-bodied, cheerful little bugger, is equipped with a flag stating its intended destination. Since it can only move forward, it depends on the kindness of strangers to guide it and remove obstacles. The accompanying music is just perfect too.

Oh, it wouldn't hurt if the price was low too. I'll take one for free please!
New Products!
Posted 10/14/05
Well, this isn't exactly new news but I had to make a post about it anyways. At a recent media event, Apple's CEO Steve Jobs announced major upgrades to the popular iMac and large iPods. Last but not least, iTunes is mucho better now. The iMac is beefier (performance-wise), skinnier, has a remote for couch browsing.The iPod now supports video, AWESOME! Not only are we talking about music videos, Apple announced a partnership with ABC so that you can now download certain TV show episodes. More toys, oh joy!

Music You Gotta Know
Posted 08/01/05
Unsure of what to listen to today? Well, I put iTunes on full random and came up with a super gem. The Final Cut is one of Pink Floyd's greatest albums (right up there w/ Dark Side for me). So if you need a great start to this Monday... get to listening... if you don't already own this musical wonder, scrape together 10 bucks and get to purchasing.
Glam Rock

New Music Tuesday

Well, it was quite a day for new music my friends. I spent the better half of an hour browsing my local Best Buy and picking up some top notch audio therapy. I started with the new Coldplay album as did everyone else in the store and then went in search of the new Dream Theater album. YES! Finally I broke down and got the new White Stripes. What a wonderful day in music. Even better, next week has some great releases too!

Really oldschool metal
Posted 03/14/05
If I were going to do a 2D sidescrolling arcade style space shooter, these guys would totally do the soundtrack, except no singing. They've even got the name for it. I predict Steve will buy one of their albums off of iTunes music store when he returns from down under.

For those of you keeping track, I am making today a full day of Ozzy tunes. Started w/ the Ultimate Sin album and will then randomize through the remaining 9 albums I have. Happy listening for me!
Audiopad
Posted 03/01/05
Audiopad is a composition and performance instrument for electronic music which tracks the positions of objects on a tabletop surface and converts their motion into music. One can pull sounds from a giant set of samples, juxtapose archived recordings against warm synthetic melodies, cut between drum loops to create new beats, and apply digital processing all at the same time on the same table. Awesome! Where's mine?
In a Metal Mood?

Courtney Love

So I was listening to the radio today on my way into the office and they decided to put on a new one by CL. Holy Crap! Who produces filth like this? Who listens to her abysmal crap? It was painful and I only continued to listen because I thought it was a cruel joke. Whoever is responsible (including CL herself) for getting this sh&* out there to the public should be banned from the music industy forever and ever.

How can I get MSN Music downloads to play on my iPod?Although Apple computers and Apple iPods do not support the PC standard WindowsMedia format for music, it is still possible to transfer MSN Music downloads to an iPod, but it will require some extra effort. To transfer MSN-downloaded music to an iPod, you need to first create a CD with the music, and then you need to import that CD into iTunes. This process will convert the music into a format that can play on the iPod. We're sorry that this isn't easier - unfortunately Apple refuses to allow other companies to integrate with the iPod's proprietary music format. If you are an iPod owner already and unhappy about this policy, you are welcome to send feedback to Apple requesting that they change their interoperability policy.
Music Tuesday

Got to thinking of some of the bands that have really influenced me in the last 10 years or so and one that really pops to the top of the list is Helmet. The rocking good band was (they broke up in early 1998) was lead by Paige Hamilton (a musical genius) who is now in a band called Gandhi.- Just Like Me (mp3)- Money Shot (mp3)- Everybody Loves You (mp3)The other heavy hitter in Helmet was John Stanier, who is now in a band called Tomahawk.- Rape This Day (mp3)- God Hates a Coward (mp3)Check out the rest of the listings for Tomahawk, rediculous amounts of talent. Remember Mike Patton from Faith No More? Of course you do. In any case, you may want to continue to follow these guys, their amazing talent will continue to appease the masses.

New Living Colour Album

So Subotai made the grave mistake of leaving me in charge of populating this site with information while he's off getting blitzed in the land of kilts and quickenings. While poking around the iTunes Music store last night I discovered some tracks by Living Colour that I didn't have (from Pride as well as unreleased ones on Vivid). This got me excited. When I get excited I go and research on the internet. And lo and behold I found out on www.livingcolournet.com that they are working on a new album! Look for it in September. Linked below is a windows media player (blech!) stream of an entire concert they did in 2001! Rockin!

Mike Patton's Mondo Cane
Posted 05/06/10
I'm really not sure what to make of this. Mike Patton, most notably of Faith No More fame has a new project. He is taking Italian classics and singing them behind a full orchestra. If that isn't your "WTF" moment of the week, I don't know what will be. Here is a description that I found on the linked page: Mike Patton of Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, Tomahawk, Peeping Tom and Fantomas fame is back with his latest musical endeavor, Mondo Cane. Not one to rest on his laurels Patton has dived right into the Italian songbook of pop songs from the 60’s and 70’s. Backed by the grandiose sounds of a full 40-piece orchestra and singing completely in Italian, Patton makes the music of Ennio Morricone, Gino Paoli, Johnny Mathis and more entirely his own. The title of the album is in reference to the notorious 1962 Italian shocumentary Mondo Cane and the translation is “the world is a dog”, appropriately fitting for a release bearing the Patton name.
Minus the Bear - My Time
Posted 03/09/10
Minus the Bear has a new album coming out May 4th and I, for one, can't wait to get my hands on it. Check out this little music video and get to lovin' it. Also notable is that they are touring around soon. Wish they were coming to Denver. Jerks.
Neutra Face: A Musical Typeface
Posted 02/12/10
Wow, this was almost TOO much but I had to post it because I really have to support my designer friends out there. One of those "hard to watch all the way through" videos. Yikes. * Thanks to Stacia for finding this for me.
Beatles Multitrack Masters
Posted 11/19/09
"While digging through Usenet, I stumbled on these three unidentified tracks that pick apart three of the Beatles' original multitrack masters, isolating and highlighting pieces from 'She's Leaving Home,' 'A Day in the Life,' and 'Come Together.' It's an astounding, and very listenable, glimpse into their recording process." She's Leaving Home A Day In the Life Come Together Amazingly cool, definitely worth a listen for any Beatle or music fan out there! * Thanks to codechemist for pointing this gem-of-a-link out.
Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet

A really, really cool music video type thing. Definitely worth a watch. I seriously would hate to be in charge of logistically getting this thing to happen. Nuts! Also mad props to the video editor(s).
Michael Jackson Dies
Posted 06/25/09
WHAT? What a weird story! Sure, he's creepy and eccentric but I never thought of him as "at risk". I am shocked and saddenned by the news of his passing. MJ, we will totally miss you. Your music has touched so many people and you were a true music genius of our time.I'm sure my copy of Off the Wall will be getting quite a few extra plays in the upcoming weeks and months.
We Won't Break

A very cool music video that Sonyl sent me. Catchy tune and a great animation style. Definitely worth a (few) viewings. It's also fun to check out some of their other videos as well.
Literal Music Video
Posted 05/29/09
I've seen a few of these but this might be the best. Pretty funny stuff. Done to the tune of "Total Eclipse of the Heart".

Posted 05/06/09
An amazing animation with drawings by James Jarvis and animation by Richard Kenworthy. I love this art style. Doesn't hurt that the music by Caribou fits it just perfectly.
A Robot Experiment
Posted 04/13/09
What a great project! Introducing the tweenbot, a cardboard-bodied, cheerful little bugger, is equipped with a flag stating its intended destination. Since it can only move forward, it depends on the kindness of strangers to guide it and remove obstacles. The accompanying music is just perfect too.
Music Moods

I'm the first guy to say that he loves the holiday season. That being said, I think it is completely rediculous that I have to walk into stores ALREADY and have Christmas music playing. It isn't even Thanksgiving yet people! COME ON!
iTunes Phone: V2
Posted 11/10/05
Motorola has announced that they will be releasing a new version of it's RAZR V3 that will feature mobile iTunes software for integration with Apple's iTunes Music Store. Awesome! After the ROKR release disappointed... well... almost everybody maybe this one will pick up the slack and turn out to actually get in the pockets of users. Oh, it wouldn't hurt if the price was low too. I'll take one for free please!
New Products!
Posted 10/14/05
Well, this isn't exactly new news but I had to make a post about it anyways. At a recent media event, Apple's CEO Steve Jobs announced major upgrades to the popular iMac and large iPods. Last but not least, iTunes is mucho better now. The iMac is beefier (performance-wise), skinnier, has a remote for couch browsing.The iPod now supports video, AWESOME! Not only are we talking about music videos, Apple announced a partnership with ABC so that you can now download certain TV show episodes. More toys, oh joy!

Music You Gotta Know
Posted 08/01/05
Unsure of what to listen to today? Well, I put iTunes on full random and came up with a super gem. The Final Cut is one of Pink Floyd's greatest albums (right up there w/ Dark Side for me). So if you need a great start to this Monday... get to listening... if you don't already own this musical wonder, scrape together 10 bucks and get to purchasing.
Glam Rock
Posted 07/26/05
A lot of people ask me why I listen to the music I listen to. Many people think I'm nuts for rockin' out to the Crüe or Billy Idol or whatever. Well, here is a little article that does a pretty good job of explaining it.

New Music Tuesday
Posted 06/08/05
Well, it was quite a day for new music my friends. I spent the better half of an hour browsing my local Best Buy and picking up some top notch audio therapy. I started with the new Coldplay album as did everyone else in the store and then went in search of the new Dream Theater album. YES! Finally I broke down and got the new White Stripes. What a wonderful day in music. Even better, next week has some great releases too!

Really oldschool metal
Posted 03/14/05
If I were going to do a 2D sidescrolling arcade style space shooter, these guys would totally do the soundtrack, except no singing. They've even got the name for it. I predict Steve will buy one of their albums off of iTunes music store when he returns from down under.
Music of the Day
Posted 03/02/05
For those of you keeping track, I am making today a full day of Ozzy tunes. Started w/ the Ultimate Sin album and will then randomize through the remaining 9 albums I have. Happy listening for me!
Audiopad
Posted 03/01/05
Audiopad is a composition and performance instrument for electronic music which tracks the positions of objects on a tabletop surface and converts their motion into music. One can pull sounds from a giant set of samples, juxtapose archived recordings against warm synthetic melodies, cut between drum loops to create new beats, and apply digital processing all at the same time on the same table. Awesome! Where's mine?
In a Metal Mood?
Posted 02/23/05
Pat Boone, you have crafted one of the scariest pieces of "metal" I have ever come across. When I have kids, I'll feel pretty comfortable with them listening to Iron Maiden but the Pat Boone definitely has to be locked away. FRIGHTENING!

Courtney Love
Posted N/A
So I was listening to the radio today on my way into the office and they decided to put on a new one by CL. Holy Crap! Who produces filth like this? Who listens to her abysmal crap? It was painful and I only continued to listen because I thought it was a cruel joke. Whoever is responsible (including CL herself) for getting this sh&* out there to the public should be banned from the music industy forever and ever.

How can I get MSN Music downloads to play on my iPod?Although Apple computers and Apple iPods do not support the PC standard WindowsMedia format for music, it is still possible to transfer MSN Music downloads to an iPod, but it will require some extra effort. To transfer MSN-downloaded music to an iPod, you need to first create a CD with the music, and then you need to import that CD into iTunes. This process will convert the music into a format that can play on the iPod. We're sorry that this isn't easier - unfortunately Apple refuses to allow other companies to integrate with the iPod's proprietary music format. If you are an iPod owner already and unhappy about this policy, you are welcome to send feedback to Apple requesting that they change their interoperability policy.
Music Tuesday

A ton of great new music today that you need to go out and pick up. I have already picked up new ones from Chevelle, Green Day and Shadows Fall. Still need to get the new Thrills and Interpol. Good lordy, what a happy music consumer I am.
Popular Music Sucks

Nate Wood = talent

Nate Wood, a great guy who I went to high school with, has been making quite a name for himself in the music world. He toured around the world as the drummer for the pop band The Calling, and more recently released his own album. He played ALL the instruments on the cd (drums, guitar, bass, piano) AND sang on it, AND engineered it, AND wrote all the songs himself. And what's more, it's REALLY freakin good! Check it out at the link below for the juice.

Helmet!
Posted N/A
Got to thinking of some of the bands that have really influenced me in the last 10 years or so and one that really pops to the top of the list is Helmet. The rocking good band was (they broke up in early 1998) was lead by Paige Hamilton (a musical genius) who is now in a band called Gandhi.- Just Like Me (mp3)- Money Shot (mp3)- Everybody Loves You (mp3)The other heavy hitter in Helmet was John Stanier, who is now in a band called Tomahawk.- Rape This Day (mp3)- God Hates a Coward (mp3)Check out the rest of the listings for Tomahawk, rediculous amounts of talent. Remember Mike Patton from Faith No More? Of course you do. In any case, you may want to continue to follow these guys, their amazing talent will continue to appease the masses.

Found this sweet program today. You type in bands that you like and then it recommends bands that you might want to try and has convenient links for looking for more info via google, amazon, Rolling Stone and iTunes Music store.

New Living Colour Album
Posted N/A
So Subotai made the grave mistake of leaving me in charge of populating this site with information while he's off getting blitzed in the land of kilts and quickenings. While poking around the iTunes Music store last night I discovered some tracks by Living Colour that I didn't have (from Pride as well as unreleased ones on Vivid). This got me excited. When I get excited I go and research on the internet. And lo and behold I found out on www.livingcolournet.com that they are working on a new album! Look for it in September. Linked below is a windows media player (blech!) stream of an entire concert they did in 2001! Rockin!
Apple Music Store
