Helloween - “Halloween”

The true majesty of this song is in the album version,  which is over 13 minutes long. It contains a multitude of guitar solos, a variety of movements and a call and response section between the lead singer and a demon (probably not an actual one). Still, the video version has its perks.

Belly - “Feed the Tree,” live on television

I heard this song for the first time in maybe a decade on the radio (of all places). It’s why I like listening to the radio, because no matter how many gigs an iPod can hold, it can’t possibly contain every song you’ve ever liked. Or maybe you just have a bigger iPod than I do. I’ve just got the Shuffle. And that little fucker is so tiny, I can’t find it anywhere.

I tried looking for the official video on YouTube, but it seems Belly’s label has scoured it from the Internet. Instead, all I could find was this and a few videos of people playing the song on Rock Band 2 (on Expert, but still). It seems the modern world has passed you by, Belly, but I still think you rock.

It’s best not to question it.

… Lady Gaga is a beautiful onion y’all, she’s got layers.  One stop shopping for contextual pop art and wacky sunglasses.

I’m not sure I’d call myself a fan, but this video is pretty brilliant. I didn’t realize they still bothered putting that much effort into them.

A long time ago, I interviewed Jeffrey Liles for a documentary he’d made called The Last Record Store. The film centered around Bill’s Records in Dallas, Texas, and consisted of interviews with the store’s owner (Bill, duh) and its eccentric customers and employees.

I’m not sure what came of the movie, but I received a promo copy to do the interview, and I enjoyed it. Lately, Liles has been posting videos of Dallas-area musicians on Youtube. This clip gets a Counting Backwards thumbs-up.

Cat Power, “Lived in Bars”

I watch this video a lot, maybe more than is healthy.
