Bob Dylan - "I Was Young When I Left Home"

 I don't like it in the wind

I go back home again
But I can't go home this a-way
This a-way, lord lord lord
An' I can't go home this a-way.

I was young when I left home
An' I been all a-ramblin' round
An' I never wrote a letter to my home
To my home, lord lord lord
An' I never wrote a letter to my home.

Annie Lennox - "Waiting In Vain"

In life I know there's lots of grief
But your love is my relief
Tears in my eyes burn, tears in my eyes burn
While I'm waiting, while I'm waiting for my turn.

Beach House - "Lazuli"

Beach House - "Myth"

Tingsek & Pauline - "This Woman's Work"

All I can hear. So beautiful.

Redemption Song

There, she sang it like the album version. Everyone happy?

Portlandia - "Battlestar Galactica"

This is spot on. I've never seen Battlestar Galactica specifically, but I have definitely gotten on a role with several shows and watched entire seasons back to back to back over a series of days. Great television shows on DVD can be quite addicting.

Lana Del Rey - "Video Games"

This is pretty much all I can listen to right now.

Portlandia - "Sanitation Twins"

M83 - "Midnight City"

Hurry Up, We're Dreaming officially released today, and if you haven't purchased it yet, you're a damn fool. It's so good. Here's a video for the second track on the album. Get this album!

Bert Jansch - "Needle Of Death"

Weezer - "The Angel And The One"

"I feel a deeper peace and that deeper peace is penetrating."

Weezer has put out a lot of music since their first two brilliant albums, and almost all of it has been pretty forgettable. But there are tracks here and there that stand out, and this, for me, is one of them. Pretty much the "Only In Dreams" of The Red Album, I'm a big fan of it and listening to it often these days.

College Featuring Electric Youth - "A Real Hero"

I love songs that are best listened to driving at night on open highways at high speeds, and this is one of them, appropriately from the Drive soundtrack.

Radiohead - "Fake Plastic Trees"

Pretty awesome clip of Radiohead performing on Conan O'Brien way back in 1995. Interesting to note Conan's comment at the start that Radiohead was the first band to perform on Conan O'Brien ever. Nice way to start things off. Not to mention that means they were performing prior to The Bends, when, to be honest, they were a one-hit wonder and no one had any foresight to see they would be as important as they became.

Anyway, this is a great performance with lots of heart, clearly a band that is still hungry and has yet to become cynical from years of success and interviews and touring and playing "Creep" 50 times a month. I also love Thom Yorke's inability to hit the note for "be" in "and if I could be, who you wanted" both times at the end. He's human, after all.

Miles Fisher - "New Romance"

Miles Fisher is sort of a Jack of all entertainment trades. He's appeared on Mad Men and Gossip Girl (both times as a drug dealer), and is famous for his impressions, most notably interviewing Tom Cruise at the MTV Movie awards as Tom Cruise. His previous music video was for his cover of "This Must Be The Place", where he parodies American Psycho to perfection. If you haven't seen that, definitely click here to watch it. Here is his parody of Saved By The Bell for his new movie Final Destination 5, featuring the cast of the movie.

James Spader - The Office

One of the best performances on television in a long time. I've always loved James Spader, and this character is perfect for him.

Weezer - "Paranoid Android"

Weezer fucking NAILS this.

Tartine Bread Short Film

I could have sworn I already posted this, because I saw it like 8 months ago, but when I went to look for it, it wasn't there. It's great, you should watch it.
