Take out a moment to revisit mid-2000's Paul Wall

GET MONEY. STAY TRUE.

this shit fucking rocks and makes me want to slap on my soiled carharts, ancient weathered dystopia shirt, spark a fatty and stumble into a basement show spilling PBR everywhere!

Electric Wizard - Live

I wouldn't say Electric Wizard are one of my favorite acts in metal, but it's one of those things that if you are truly metal and have been known to enjoy large proportions of marijuana, you simply cannot deny their appeal. This is their best live clip i've seen on the tubes.

oh liz buckingham, how you melt my heart with your hundreds of watts of amplification and staggering blonde beauty.

Hank Williams and Anita Carter

Hank Williams Sr. is notoriously underdocumented when it comes to filmed performances. We are SO lucky that we have this intolerably charming gem of a moment shared between him and young Anita Carter on the Kate Smith Evening Hour,  April 23, 1952. Her beauty timelessly holds up today, and her eyes and dimpled smile tell so much more than just the song itself. what a jam.

Hank williams Sr. is a huge inspiration for me.

1998 Black Heart Procession show clips

Full disclosure: The Black Heart Procession is probably the single most influencial, favorite, most beautiful band I have known in my life. I have to be careful to not bore all my friends by talking about and promoting them too much.



well, new videos surfaced from a generous youtube user of a full set of theirs from early 1998! Since I have followed their entire career, I can say BHP have taken many shapes and forms. When I saw them last year, it was simply Pall and Tobias, playing stripped down, even more somber versions of some of their sombrest songs. when i saw them in 2003, they had a medium sized band accompanying half the songs. But I'm going to say, these videos are my favorite!



the band has always been just Pall and Tobias centrally, and the more big band elements often just detract from what they do best, which is deliver painfully honest sad songs for the sake of making something beautiful, and not wallowing. so early in their career in these videos, i feel like we get a much clearer glimpse into their influences and early ideas about direction-- the candle lit set, the matching spaghetti western outfits complete with sunglasses and cowboy hats, the faithful reproduction of their studio sound... Pall directly going for and hitting the high notes as recorded rather than uttering them an octave lower a decade of sadness and discontent on...



these are beautiful fucking moments and i remained puzzled at how these videos can remain with under a hundred views at the time of writing this. best BHP videos on youtube.

bomba estereo

so like, i'm not really too much into clubbish latin music like bomba estereo's myspace page songs, however this video is wonderful, and it's likely if the group's main sound was this stripped down acoustic vibe i'd eat it all up. you have to love latin rhythms, cute colombian girls, and semi impromptu street music performances.
