This video completely cracks me up. I had to show it to my wife, and her initial reactions were pretty similar to mine. The best of it was that my 3 year old was watching with us and he began dancing... until a certain point. At which time he stopped dancing and just stared at the video not sure what was going on anymore.

The Megas finally have a new official release:

I found out when I pulled up their Bandcamp page for some background music while I did paperwork.

Alright, I'm casting Thread Necromancy, and hoping you guys fail your saves against Awesome Music, or whatever.

A friend turned me on to Sigur Ros, and I have to say, they're amazing. They utterly defy genre, and I can only tell you to listen

Thread Necromancy 2 !

So, for some reason I ended up on some Beastie Boys and The Pixies mashups recently, both sampling 'Where is my Mind' of Fight Club fame... I really feel those work out exceptionally well for some reason, so here goes :

A friend of mine sent me this video, and it's really good, if a little disturbing.

I've been listening to Prince pretty much exclusively lately.

I was flipping radio stations and really listened to Billy Joel's Piano Man for the first time.

I know I've heard it before. Just always in the background of my attention.

I've been on a Tame Impala kick recently- the best way to describe them would be if every 70's psychedelic artist somehow formed a gestalt entity, and said gestalt entity listened to a bunch of modern electronic music and melded the two. While on acid. Or something. I don't know what it is, but it's really fucking good. Also, the band from Perth, so my (mostly) shitty country actually turned out something decent for once.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljzehPvr9zk and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQH2Kq1QXaI are probably my two favourite songs off the album, but pretty much everything else is a doozy.

Also, if you're into neo-folk, Fleet Foxes are absolutely amazing.

I've been enjoying Zomboy (dubstep) a lot, lately. Particularly these two:

Vancouver Beatdown

Eluveitie has announced they're working on a new concept album. I wonder if they're finally going to do Evocation II?

They will be coming within 300 miles of where I live, touring with Wintersun and Varg. Should be a great show if I can swing the ride.

I listen to classic Megaman tunes, and any thing from before the 60's. I LOVE swing, jazz, big band, crooner, etc.

As for a specific band... the Ink Spots were pretty rockin'. And Ella Fitzgerald is awesome, too. I plan on naming any future potential spawn "Ella", so that the name will rhyme (Ella Stella).

Fuck it. I love this band so much I have to share them. It's like every 70's psychedelic rock artist melded into a single person, and that person went to the future and listened to a shitton of electronica, and decided to make a psychedelic rock album. Kinda. Also, they're australian, which I totally did not expect.

I came across Sonos' I Want You Back while hunting for new Christmas music this week. It took me a minute to realize that it's a cover of this very old hit.

I have a lot of NES MIDIs that I love to listen to. Megaman ones are among my favorites.

Been listening to a lot of Japanese noise-rock/avant-garde, specifically Les Rallizes Denudes; the Japanese equivalent of the Velvet Underground.

Can't see how one could go wrong with some Crazy Bus.

zreomusic.com's Twilight Symphony is a little disappointing after paying fifty bucks and waiting around a year, but it's still nice ambient music. I added many of the tracks to my essay-writing playlist.

Lamb of God, Smooth Jazz Edition

The one about porn? I'd think some soft jazz would be the thing to listen to while working on that.

I've really been digging Bob Dylan's latest album "Tempest." His stuff in the last 15-20 years hasn't been his best but this is pretty fun stuff.

The video for "Duquesne whistle" is awesome.
