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.

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.

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

Favorite New Politician: Barney Frank -
I know this is really old... I have a whole bunch of fun stuff to post and will be catching up the next few days.
But I like Barney Frank and this clip, because it's refreshing to see a Democrat, when confronted by fringe supporters, stand up for their convictions instead of waver and back down.

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.

Jay-Z - D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune) - Jay-Z is definitely my favorite mainstream hip hop artist (Sorry Kanye, you're a close second). Turn your subwoofer up for this one. RIP Autotune.

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.

30 Rock is a Rip-Off of the Muppet Show - You know what, I never thought about it. But after reading this several-page blog outlining the similiarities, it's exactly the Muppet Show. Probably why I love the show so much. (p.s. Bring back the Muppet Show, whoever owns the muppets now!)
And then I just stumbled across this skit of 30 Rock which is allegedly from Sesame Street. (can anyone verify?). If it is, It's a wonderful way to bring kids and parents together to watch the show and both enjoy it.

GM Reinvention Commercial - This is an extremely impressive commercial that GM cranked out in a day to explain the bankruptcy and their future. At least their public relations department over there knows what they're doing.

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.
