Mariachi El Bronx - Cell Mates

this is currently my favorite song. Great video too. Something about the mariachi plus the slow, even pace. i can't stop listening to this album. i am also really tired and busy lately so i might take a short break from updating daily. i will still update but maybe not daily. we'll see.

They Might Be Giants - Birdhouse In Your Soul

Possibly one of the best TMBG live performances. When you got a super catchy amazing song such as Birdhouse... then add the TOnight Show band that just tears up these giant licks.. man... BOOM!

Rocket from the Crypt - Born in '69

There is nothing else to say about this other than: AMAZING

Mr. President - Coco Jambo

While searching for the previous video (up, up and away) I came upon this and figured its too amazing not to post. Right? Right? Anyone?

The 5th Dimension - Up, Up, and Away

Man. This song. They used to always play it at Trader Joe's and the first five times I thought it was amazing. The next five times drove me crazy. After the tenth time, I embraced it and I was off in my beautiful balloon.

I also wrote this song into my Giant Robot script.

Jonathan Richman - Everyday Clothes

For some reason, it's really difficult to find good quality JR clips on youtube. This is the exception and near perfect. This man, in many ways, defines music for me: fun, loose, and clever. Nothing too serious, nothing too stern. Just fun music that makes you shake your rear.

12:08 East of Bucharest clip

I'm not sure why I had this movie, 12:08 East of Bucharest, in my possession but I did. I knew next to nothing about it (and kept confusing it with another Romanian movie about abortions) but when I watched it I was blown away with how funny and engaging it was. I highly recommend it, even if it can be very slow and/or go over non-historian/romanian heads at times.

This scene is a great part of the movie when the local school band jams out some sweet latin-tinged music only to be scolded and forced to play more traditional Romanian jams. And check out that kids moves!!!

Toy-Box - Sailor Song

How have I not posted this sooner? I have an epic Aqua story I will need to tell one day, but obviously this band is NOT Aqua (DUH!!). This is Toy-Box. When I randomly stumbled upon them, one dreary day spent cruising youtube, I was blown away. This is prolly their most... real song. They have other jams about ET and Best Friends and stuff.. but this is what would go on my desert island mix tape for sure.

IAM - Je Danse le Mia

There is just something about this video.. i can't put my finger on it.

Jovanotti - L'ombelico del mondo

When I was in Italy, Jovanotti's song "Salami" was everywhere. I will need to post that video here sooner or later, but for now, enjoy this clip of a more recent track that I had never heard until today. It's good. Jovanotti is kinda like the poster child for modern rock in Italy. He started as a rapper and moved to pop and hippie almost territories, but regardless, he's Jovanotti... the same dude who was in this video:

Blackout Crew - Put A Donk On It

How did I not post this sooner?!?!?? This is the definition of amazing. No joke! Look it up!

Warren Zevon - Excitable Boy

I'm not sure how anyone could dislike Warren Zevon. My only thought would be "Oh, they haven't heard enough by him" or "obviously, your ears are glued shut..". I was always excited when Paul Shaffer would take vacation time off from Letterman so Zevon would fill in.

Great, great songwriting and as you can see, pretty intense performances. Lost way too early but man, did he rock.
