Ane Brun - Do You Remember (Official Video HD)


This Ane Brun song is pretty unique and full of talent but when heard along with this great video for a visual it is really entertaining/a bit psychedelic.

Tune-Yards - Real Live Flesh (official video)


I have posted some Tune-Yards tracks before but this is one of my favorite videos of hers and a damn good song so I had to throw it up here. PS See her live if you have the chance, you won't regret it.

The Vulcans - Star Trek


One of my favorite Dub/Instrumental Reggae tunes. Dig that futuristic synth.

The Slits - I Heard It Through The Grapevine (bassline)


Fantastic version of Heard It Through The Grapevine by a fantastic punk band called The Slits. That bassline! That breakdown!

Oidupaa Vladimir Oiun - There Are Many Tears Here Gained


Really crazy good throat singer/accordion player from Mongolia. Tuvan throat singing is a really amazing style of music that is relatively unknown. The masters of this form of music are able to sing up to four notes at a time, in effect allowing them to harmonize with themselves. If you would like to hear more/know more about Tuvan throat singing look up my good friend Db Pedersen, he is one of the best in the midwest. Also, there is a great documentary called Genghis blues which is an enjoyable watch and centers around Tuvan throat singing. Whole film here: Genghis Blues

Sun Ra - Nuclear War


Another one of my favorite Sun Ra tracks. Definitely the soundtrack I hear in my head when dumb ass politicians and macho military men threaten the use of nuclear warheads.

Sun Ra - Angels and Demons at Play


Sun Ra is one of my all time favorite jazz artists and this is one of my favorite tracks from him. Someone in the comments section says it well: "If you keep listening to Sun Ra, over time, many of his tracks seem to grow and change in mysterious ways."
