Music Videos

I really don't have a whole lot to say tonight, but I felt like blogging a bit. So instead, I'm going to post a selection of music videos (or songs, I find them interchangeable) which I currently enjoy, in no particular order. Get excited!

1. Sigur Rós- Glósóli
A very beautiful, haunting melody with a fairly inventive video. I would say the visuals fit the music quite well. Love this group. For real.



2. Beirut- Elephant Gun
Sort of a strange video, but I'm a real fan of this gypsy-rock fusion. I especially appreciate the mandolin and trumpet.



3. Nirvana- The Man Who Sold the World
To be fair, I haven't really listened to Nirvana until about two days ago, and I really don't know much about their music yet. But this unplugged stuff is amazing.



4. Led Zeppelin- The Battle of Evermore
This video isn't official, but it's an interesting juxtaposition of the song and the battle of the Pelannor Fields from Lord of the Rings, which the song is based on. Favorite Zepp song ever.



5. Led Zeppelin- Black Dog
Here's a real video, just for good measure. Hear and see the amazing visceral power of true rock artistry at its zenith.



6. Damien Rice- The Blower's Daughter
One of my favorite Damien Rice songs. He has the most haunting voice, just cannot get enough.



7. Arcade Fire- Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels)
I'm a big fan of Arcade Fire, particularly their first album, "Funeral." This is probably my favorite song from that album.



8. Rage Against The Machine- Killing in the Name Of
Are you really pissed off? Do you want to overthrow the established political order? Do you like sick funky beats? Then listen to this.



9. Jimi Hendrix- All Along the Watchtower
Sort of a cliché song, but this album is changing my life. This is probably the most popular song off of it.



10. Patti Smith- Smells Like Teen Spirit
No real video with this, but a frekkin' sweet cover instead. I'm a closet bluegrass fan, and I think this is really really cool.



So yeah, here are 10 songs for your listening and viewing pleasure. Like I was told this weekend, music is my vice. Not a bad vice to have, until you look at your Visa bill from the Electric Fetus or Amazon. Off to Milwaukee tomorrow to see the Bodyworlds exhibition. Should be pretty fun.
