This cool music video was filmed in 'The Stacks' in the Memorial Library at UW-Madison. The tiny cages you see are where students lock themselves in to study (so if they fall asleep nobody can steal their stuff). This artist isn't bad. The next Eminem?
Added:His album 'Monster' is actually really really good. Free download at his website.

Ticketmaster and Live Nation Win Approval To Merge - a.k.a: Good-bye music industry. Seriously, I expect this to bring ticket prices so high that they'll be essentially be cutting off their only other revenue stream: concerts. Although this wouldn't really be a bad thing. Would we really miss Ke$ha? I'd much rather listen to a jazz trio at a local martini lounge anyway.

One of my many goals in life is to produce a song and direct a music video for Jay-Z. I would like it to turn out something like this.

Anyone from Madison who understands the Coastie/Sconnie divide will find this song hilarious. (thx Luke!)
"Always walkin Langdon with a strut lookin haawwt
Talkin on her celly like, "girl ohh gawwwd!"
Coach bag, Gucci shades that they daddy bought
Muggin' wearin v-neck tees with they iPaawwd
Always up in Van Vleck, "I have a question"
Baby sit back, let me explain this lesson"

Pharcyde - Otha Fish - I got this sick old-school hip-hop song stuck in my head. Thought I'd share:

Sufjan Stevens at The Majestic in Madison, WI
Last night I had the privilege of seeing Sufjan Stevens at a sold out concert of 600 people at The Majestic in Madison, WI. I knew it was going to be a great show the moment he stepped on stage in a blue "WISCONSIN" t-shirt, camouflage hat, and said: "Sup 'yall, I'm Suff-jan Stevens", making fun of a common mispronunciation of his name, and went right into playing my favorite song, Seven Swans.

Sufjan Stevens - You Are the Blood - Totally missed Sufjan's cover of the Castanets song when he released it in January. For those that also missed it, listen below while you still can. This 10 minute song is pretty epic. The style change 4 minutes in gives me chills.

Penguin Cafe Orchestra - Perpetuum Mobile - Thanks to Shazam for the iPhone (arguably the best application ever created... why the give it away for free I'll never understand) I finally found this song that I've been searching for years to find... only from a 15 second snippit at the end of a podcast! You might find it familiar because it was used in some HP and GE commercials. Amazing song.

Yoav - Club Thing - Okay, I really have to get this off my chest:
DEAR RECORD LABELS: Why do you not allow embedding of the official music videos you post on YouTube? How are you going to get the word out about your artist if we can't show off your fu*#ing music video? (The below video is unofficial, so if it suddently stops working, above is the link to the official one)
DEAR ARTISTS: Feel free to hire me for promotion work.

Yuksek "Tonight" - Sorry for the lack of updates... I've been installing Windows 7! It's pretty damn slick. And this is a lot coming from somebody who generally dislikes Microsoft products. More on the upgrade coming soon! In the meantime, enjoy this song:

Again and Again (Music Video) - A creative music video made only with the software that comes bundled on a Mac. Also proof that some people have too much time on their hands. This video was apparently nominated for a Webby.

New on my blogroll: Music
Added two new blogs to my blogroll. Two local music blogs by people that have similar tastes as me (anything that's not top 40): 88.9 Radio Milwaukee Soundboard and UW-Madison's Wisconsin Union Directorate Music Committee.
If you're looking for other ways to discover music, try podcasts: IndieFeed and All Songs Considered are two really good ones.
Not entirely sure why I'm adding more blogs, because as it is I can't keep up with the 72 ones I already read, but I get to discover cool new music like this:
Wiley - Wearing My Rolex (What Would We do)
I hope to post a more in-depth entry on some new music I discovered, but you'll have to do with random YouTube embeds for now.

Technically and Scientifically, The Worst Song Ever - This is a bit old, but I don't think many people have heard it. A group of guys took an international survey of the things people hated the most in a song (which ended up being stuff like children, opera, tubas, and cowboys) and jammed it into one, single, song. I'm not gonna lie, I really like it. Haha. You can download it at that website. Listen to the whole thing, it really picks up in the middle... (Spoiler: An opera singer raps to a tuba beat over bagpipes) How many times have you ever heard that?

The Zimmers - My Generation - The oldest rock group ever doing a cover of The Who's 'My Generation'. They're pretty good.
