I doubt there’s anyone left alive (music fans with access to the Internet at least) who haven’t seen this OK Go video yet, it’s already a classic, a mere 18 months after first being released on to the world.
The thing is, there’s a reason for this: it’s sheer brilliance, all wrapped up in to a […]
The White Stripes are without a doubt one of the best bands ever to have walked the planet: Jack White is a brilliant musician, and song writing genius; Meg White is… not bad on drums.
This is the video for brand new song Conquest, which only just premièred on MTV a few days ago.
The song […]
I adore everything about this video, Vanessa Carlton herself, the lyrics, her voice, and the magic travelling piano. The concept is a simple, yet brilliant one, and it’s beautifully orchestrated by the video’s director Marc Klasfeld.
The song itself is one of those ones I never tire of hearing, and even now, five years after its […]
The Eels have been pushing out alternative music for over 10 years now. They’re songs are both innovative, and original, and some would also say a tad weird.
This song is one of the strangest, but the song is nothing compared to the video.
In it, we get to see a carrot become genetically modified, and altered […]
This is Snoop Dogg’s brand new video, and it’s a brilliant piece of late Seventies, early Eighties inspired cheese.
The song isn’t much cop in my opinion, although that’s after just a few listens. Maybe it’s a grower, which I’ll learn to love in time, but at the moment, I would go as far to say […]
This video is an absolute classic, being a true Indie anthem. Released by The Breeders, led by former Pixies band member Kim Deal in 1993, both the song and video still stand up against newer releases.
I love the song, partly because of the quiet sections getting completely blown away by the loud rocking sections, and […]
What is it about Tupac Shakur, or 2Pac to his friends, and hangers on? He’s been dead for years now, yet still somehow manages to release new records at an incredible rate. I’m not one for conspiracy theories but does no-one else think that kind of weird?
I’ve been wanting to get this off my chest […]
A few days ago, I took a look at the Spice Girls new single Headlines, and absolutely ripped both the song and video to pieces, and justifiably so because it is crap.
In the interests of fairness, I thought we should go back in time, and take a look at the first Spice Girls single, and […]
What’s the first thing you think of when you think of a classic disco record, sung by men with higher voices than most women? The answer is obvious… a disused film set, with dilapidated buildings, and a non working train station.
Okay, you probably don’t think that way, but when it came to making a video […]
The Queens Of The Stone Age seem to have emerged with a softer, quieter sound, and I’m not sure if I like it. I don’t mind the occasional love song, but when it comes from a band who I think of as hard rocking, hard drinking lads, it just doesn’t float my boat.
That’s not to […]
