My favourite Red Hot Chili Peppers song

Soul To Squeeze

Probably fav video too.

Good trivia question: On which album does this song appear?

Allmusic Guide:

On this by-the-books pop soundtrack hodgepodge, the sole highlights are a mediocre R.E.M. outtake and "Soul to Squeeze," The Red Hot Chili Peppers' rewrite of "Under the Bridge."

Reggie Watts - Watch/Listen and learn

Unbelievable. A true 21st century artist. I first heard about this guy on Radiolab a while back. Thanks to my friend Jim for posting this on Facebook. Find yourself 15 minutes and enjoy. The guy's a force of nature.

David Lee Roth explains the "brown M&M" thing

I've heard this before, but it's very cool hearing it straight from the man himself:

St. Vincent 4AD session

Amazing live performance... the video has a really cool look to it as well.

Apparently this is a real trailer for a real movie

It has a website and everything... I think it might be a comedy. Only explanation.

LCD Soundsystem: London Session

I just listened to the 'live studio bootleg' from LCD Soundsystem, London Sessions... the whole thing is killer, but take a listen to this track.

They actually carry a copy of this at the Toronto Public Library. Now this is a gravy train I can get behind. And don't feel guilty about putting it on hold for pickup at your local branch. Here's the thing: you've already paid for it.

And it is definitely worth it.

St. Vincent - "Cheerleader"

Amazing video, amazing song, amazing album - highly recommended.

Also, check out the title track from her latest album, "Strange Mercy"... listen to about 1:37 and tell me that doesn't kind of sound like the dungeon music from Zelda: Link to the Past.

It's pretty clever:
