http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpGp-22t0lU

"Atlas," by Battles. The single's not due out for a month, the album for 5 or 6 weeks, and I already can't wait to get my hands on both.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

1. Can't find the video, but Stevie Wonder's "All Day Sucker."

[Giant Robot]

2. John Hiatt

"Perfectly Good Guitar"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5begHSoQ1s

[asthmaticeog]

3. Good stuff, thanks.

I had a left-handed friend who used to get righteously pissed off at Kurt Cobain for smashing all those lefty Fender Mustangs when he was looking for one to play on and couldn't find one to save his life.

[Giant Robot]

9. As well he should have been my friend

Like the song says "it breaks my heart/to see those stars/smashing a perfectly good guitar"

[Deja Q]

4. Mesmerized

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47BgVSMv3mE

[asthmaticeog]

7. That's really fun.

Why did disco have to peter out so quickly?

[begin_within]

5. Candles in the Rain

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zz9sjMGUM9k

[asthmaticeog]

8. Wow, just wow.

Had I been significantly older than 1 year at that time, it's a safe bet I would have totally wanted to boink Melanie.

[qnr]

117. It hurts watching that, to be honest. I was so hopeful then. Thanks though. n/t

[gbate]

119. I love this song. Melanie rocks and it brings tears to my eyes.

[ikojo]

6. OK, as some may know I love scooters....

A friend in the scooter rider's club found this sone on youtube...

It's a song about scooter love.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajjo6euJjBE

[asthmaticeog]

10. Splendido!

[sniffa]

11. waiting room - by fugazi

i am a patient boy

I WAIT, I WAIT, I WAIT

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGJFWirQ3ks

[asthmaticeog]

14. DAMN!

That's *early* too - Guy with no guitar? Nice find! :thumbsup:

[ghostsofgiants]

56. That's actually in the special features of the Instrument DVD.

[asthmaticeog]

68. I'll have to get that, then.

I saw it at a screening, no special features. There was popcorn, though. And indie-kids.

[ghostsofgiants]

70. It's an enjoybale dvd.

The performance of "Shut The Door" on there still kills me every time.

[stuntcat]

97. right. on.

:headbang:

[charlie and algernon]

12. Manah Manah

[asthmaticeog]

15. Interesting history to that song.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mah_N%C3%A0_Mah_N%C3%A0

It originally appeared in an Italian porno flick.

[bikebloke]

13. Adrienne Pauly - J'veux un mec

A recent discovery.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9XlxWcJy3Q

[asthmaticeog]

19. Smoky-voiced euro-pop. I vigorously approve.

[bikebloke]

89. Thanks

I've been finding freshness and creativity with EuroPop/Rock. The domestic corporate tunes are lifeless rehashings of previous songs.

[Redstone]

16. This one:

Posted by a DUer whose name I temporarily forgot.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZayD3bKJdPM

Redstone

[asthmaticeog]

21. Great band.

Never heard that tune of theirs before. Thanks.

[Redstone]

33. Ya welcome. Terrific tune, innit? VERY well-written.

Redstone

[asthmaticeog]

49. Definitely.

I sorta stopped paying them much mind several years ago, and it looks like I've been missing some good stuff. I guess I'd better get caught up.

[ghostsofgiants]

74. Their most recent, "The Empire Strikes First" is a pretty solid album

Came out in like '04.

That's just fuckin' FUNNY.

[dropkickpa]

125. I'm lovin the young Kevin Kline!

[electricmonk]

18. Alice Donut-Madonna's Bombing Sarajevo

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EohssoAde10

Just noticed that in my YouTube favorites I've dropped from over 110 videos to 77 videos bookmarked. Good thing I've been saving them to my hard drive as soon as I find something really good.

[asthmaticeog]

24. WOW!

I had no idea there was a vid for that. One of my all time fave bands, I'm so glad they got back together. :thumbsup:

On edit: how do you DL YouTube vids?

[electricmonk]

27. There's a couple of ways

But I just use http://keepvid.com/

Paste the YouTube address of the video into it and click Download and save as a .flv file.

[asthmaticeog]

46. This is my very favorite - "Still Got the Blues"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4O_YMLDvvnw

A bit toned down from "Texas Strut"

[Magrittes Pipe]

30. For you:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFKVuUlxO0k

[asthmaticeog]

32. Why do you have so much hatred for me?

:(

[Magrittes Pipe]

34. That's nothing.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rt5s7QpH5gs

[asthmaticeog]

47. A band I was in opened for them once. Boy, I fucking hate that band.

[Magrittes Pipe]

51. The worst yet:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfXBJ80xz78

[asthmaticeog]

64. Kickass drummer.

I wonder how much weed he smokes.

[Magrittes Pipe]

83. Probably a lot.

To be fair, it's totally the worst thing I've posted tonight. ONE Bassholes song on YouTube, and it's "Haunted Hill?" FFS, gimme some "Nakema" or "Florida Bus" or "Judge Harsh Blues" or GONNA WRITE ME A FUCKIN' LETTER.

[electricmonk]

35. That was plain evil

I'm usually subjected to the Delilah show at work and she plays that way too often, like a couple times a week. Can't stand her or or show but for some reason that's all everyone at work wants to listen too.

[RebelOne]

113. Love that song.

[w8liftinglady]

31. Iraq-by TIMZ

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRiy4yfh-IM

[asthmaticeog]

53. Wait, he's rapping, but he's white.

I'm confused! :scared:

[w8liftinglady]

59. yeah,but that a fucking powerful video.

[Magrittes Pipe]

36. Seriously:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5S2NAZ6otps

[asthmaticeog]

50. It's awkward, putting a real-life friend on ignore on DU...

but I'm not above it.

[greendog]

38. "One Door Opens" by Richard Thompson

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27vJofqRzSM

[asthmaticeog]

52. Arrgh, I missed his show here last week.

I'm totally kicking myself for it, too, my friend who went got blown away and won't shut up about it. Next time, for sure.

[greendog]

62. One of the best shows I've ever seen.

Now, I live in an out of the way place and he never plays here. Maybe he'll get to Missoula one of these days (120 miles).

Here's another good Thompson vid:

55. OK, that's pretty damn funny.

I won't put you on ignore after all.

42. Candyman - Christina Aguilera

2006’s Back to Basics earned Christina a lot of credibility, both from me and other critics. Her attempt at recreating the early sounds of the 20th Century, while also sounding completely fresh, was a major success. The album’s first single, “Ain’t No Other Man,” rushed into the top 10 and stayed there for weeks. The follow-up single, “Hurt,” was a hit as well. Just recently, Christina Aguilera has released one of the best, most addicting singles ever to hit the planet, “Candyman.”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkBWQzuu6XA

The video was filmed on January 28, 2007. The video is a 1940s war theme; Aguilera rented out an airport. It was directed by Matthew Rolston and co-directed by Christina Aguilera. On February 22, 2007 MTV gave a World Premiere of "Candyman" live on TRL and later on MTV's Making The Video. In the video, Aguilera appears dancing and singing in three different hair colors: redhead, blonde and brunette, which appears to be a tribute to the Andrews Sisters. Judy Garland (her swing dance sequence in Strike Up the Band is paralleled), and 1940's pin-up queens Betty Grable and Rita Hayworth are also given their fair share of respect. The video reached #1 on the TRL countdown on its third and sixth day.

[asthmaticeog]

Wow. I'm not a fan, but that's pretty impressive.

[pokerfan]

76. I've never been a fan either

until I heard about this throwback album. An homage to the Andrews Sisters.

Performed by Elvis Costello and the Brodsky String Quartet.
