Silver Jews "How Can I Love You If You Won't Lie...
They pack so much into a mini-video of only 2 minutes duration. Probably in the Top 20 Music Videos of All Time. Easy. Ladies and Gents: the new Fugs-like Phenomenon…The Silver Jews~~!!!
Sigue Sigue Sputnik "Sex Bomb Boogie"
Post Punk Glam Throwback Rock…more hype and costumery than the sound could support. (3:53)
The Soft Machine "We Understand" (?)
real 1967 hippie psychedelia (4:56)
Vladimir Ussachevsky "Two Images for a Computer...
Freakiness from 1969 by a pioneer in electronic music. Ussachevsky’s “Film Music” CD is probably my favorite musique concrete masterpiece. Film by Lloyd Michael Williams. (9:19)
Morton Subotnick "Until Spring Revisited"
One of my primary inspirations, along with Xenakis, Berio, Gordon Mumma, Ussachevsky, Varese, Stockhausen, Pierre Henry, and Pierre Schaeffer. (2:57)
Oxford Collapse "Please Visit Your National Parks"
In this song, the lads sound hauntingly like Adam & the Ants “Kings of the Wild Frontier” period. The lads played at Emo’s Lounge during SXSW. Their site has free mp3s. Their latest CD “Remember the Night Parties” is excellant fratboy post-punk art rock. (4:14)

High energy anarchy band, quite endearing. (4:32)

This is one of my favorite protest bands, similar to Atari Teenage Riot. http://www.ambassador21.com (5:16)
Charlatans UK "Blackened Blue Eyes"
Their best album is “Between 10th & 11th”, with the bananas on it. This track is from their “Simpatico” CD. (4:34)

Mary Timony, a true she-genius of post-punk rock. (3:45)
Magnetic Fields "Love Goes Home to Paris"
(2:34)
Magnetic Fields "With Whom to Dance"
(2:33)
Armageddon Dildos "Homicidal Maniac"
Early 80s industrial band of little consequence but of some slight historical curiosity. (3:58)
Young Marble Giants "Colossal Youth"
1980. I was in Washington, CD that year, and this band was playing nearby. Girlfriend was sick, pregnant, so we did not go. I stayed in hotel with her. Minimalist funk art band, big influence on Str8 Sounds/CompuMusik. (1:52)
Bomis Prendin "Silence"
Just try to imagine what the entire album was like. I once owned it. On vinyl. (1:56)
Bomis Prendin "The Doppler Shift"
I used to have the bizarre 80s new wave avant Bomis Prendin album this song is found on. Never dreamed I’d find a video by these strange and obscure cats. (1:54)
Eddie the Rat "Consciousness Isn't Necessary"
(3:09)
Eddie the Rat "Just Another Spin-cycle in the...
One of my favorite contemporary hippie art bands. San Fransisco lads and lassies. (4:58)
Tape-Beatles "The Grand Delusion, Pt. 1"
Genius mashup collage band. (1:30)
Einsturzende Neubauten "Autobahn"
Definitely not a cover of the Kraftwerk tune. Pioneering German industrial noise band. (4:33)
Wolf Eyes "at Analog Shock"
Noise music show that proves we’re on the right track with hating music. A pioneering band that’s popular with the cool kids. (14:52)
Galaxie 500 "Fourth of July"
The band that later became Luna. (4:55)
Modest Mouse "Ocean Breathes Salty"
This is one of the greatest rock bands ever, with such unique voice. “Maybe we’ll both get lucky and live to grow old”. (3:54)
Popul Vuh "Kyrie 1973"
Genuine artsy hippie music for meditation and higher consciousness. (4:12)
Babyshambles "The Blinding"
“It’s the last thing that you’ll ever see. What will you do when they run out of time for you?” The Libertines died and Babyshambles arises from the ashes, a nice continuation of the garage rock slop genius sound. (3:01)
Babyshambles "I Love You But You're Green"
Pete Doherty, of The Libertines, his new band. “untroubled only in my daydreams”. (4:05)
Babyshambles "Fuck Forever"
Yes, this is the “new Libertines” or at least a guy from The Libertines falling apart in a new band. Ultra cool. As anti-commercial as anything. “Can’t tell the difference between death and glory”. (4:46)
The Mummies "Uncontrollable Urge"
A cover of a Devo song. What’s good about it? Just watching them squirm in those hot bandages, that’s what. (2:53)
Atari Teenage Riot "Too Dead for Me"
Pump up the anti-fascist anarchy energy! (4:05)
Atari Teenage Riot "Redefine the Enemy"
A great protest band for the immediate future. (3:57)
