Happy Happy Fun Time!

“Videos you should see…….and not get depressed about….” Week 6– Aug 17, 2010

Last week was depressin!  Without an ING!  This week should be a bit better….I am committed to providing uplifting music this week.  Lets see how the Morrissey Lover does this time around, and don’t hold your breath.

1)      Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros- “Home (Live)”-  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRA5S59KjwY Comment by JH= I don’t usually like this hippie flowers and love stuff.   In this case, the tune is VERY catchy, the performance is fun, and the message is clear.  Sing on Hippies!

2)      Violent Femmes- “Blister in the sun”- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aljlKYesT4Comment by JH= Classic song, fun video, and cat themed to boot!

3)      Dead Prez- “Be Healthy”- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9mpu0n7BFY&feature=related Comment by JH= My wife and I can recite this anthem verbatim.  The first militant call to young black males that I have heard to be healthy and respect animals.  Dead Prez is my FAVORITE hip hop group by far, and this tune is upbeat too so enjoy J

4)      The Khan Brothers- “Lord lord Lord”- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiNluJ58Pr0- Comment by JH= If the Beatles wrote something today it would sound vaguely like this song.  I am pretty sad this song didn’t hit it as big as I thought it would.  Probably a function of no promotion or real video, but still, it IS catchy!

5)      Paolo Nutini- “New Shoes”- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GAgm8sZ5mo Comment by JH= I fought against liking Paolo at first.  His soulful voice and catchy songs convinced me quickly.
