The video is horrible, but I quite dig the music:

A friend passed this along yesterday, and every time I watch it, I like it more. It’s Amanda Palmer‘s Runs in the Family, and what you’re seeing is a terribly well done fanvid for it.
I think it pairs well with a video clip that Amanda Palmer herself posted on her site a few days ago. It’s of Bill Hicks (personally dear to me for his “looks like we’ve got ourselves a reader!” line) talking about what he wants to hear, in front of an audience that doesn’t really seem to get it:

Absolutely.
Three tracks from the band I’ll be seeing shortly – Gogol Bordello. The first is a live performance of Wanderlust King:
Undestructable is a fantastic anthem
And we finish with Mishto!, perhaps my favorite. Impossible to listen without moving:

Maybe this is a repeat. Don’t care. It’s just that good.
DJ Earworm’s Gimme Freaks, from Rolling Stones’ Gimme Shelter and Moguai & Tocadisco’s – Freaks (Moguai Mix). Click it.
Herbie Hancock’s Cantaloupe Island is familiar to you, even if you don’t recognize the name.  Written in 1964, it’s turned into something of a jazz standard. I imagine that on any given night, there are a few dozen people taking a crack at on stage somewhere.  It got a big boost in 1993, when Us3 reworked it into a pop hit. While I keep going back to the original (which really requires a martini in hand and a light summer breeze for full appreciation), I’ve recently found myself enjoying it in the form of a(nother) Tanghetto cover. Give them all a listen, below:
The year in pop. Brill.
Want a copy? DJ Earworm will give you one.
There used to be a carnival that would come to town every year. It was the usual ripoff and con game, but it was fun fun fun. This despite the fact that all of the rides played pretty much the same three songs. Any one them takes me right back, spinning fast.
