“Videos you should see”

“Videos you should see” Week 4– Aug 09, 2010

All right folks.  To enjoy this week’s music you need to sit down and WATCH every inch of it.  This is not a “put the video on the background while I do dishes type of week, you feel me?  So set the playback to 720, wait for the download and enjoy… (If applicable).  Be sure are ready for watching this, it is pretty heavy stuff.

1)      Modest Mouse- “Little Hotel”-  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqQTODR3kR8&feature=PlayList&p=4D80FF57D09D6E55&playnext=1&index=3 Comment by JH= This is not the best song by modest mouse, but it is their best video.  And for a band known to make awesome videos, that is saying a lot.  I am touched by this even though I am not a parent.  When I do have kids I am sure it will touch me even more.

2)      Johnny Cash- “Hurt (Nine inch Nails cover)”- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmVAWKfJ4Go Comment by JH= J. Cash past his prime doing the best cover of his career in the ashes of his greatness.  This is a masterpiece beyond words so I will stop here, but thank you Mr. Cash!

3)      Brett Dennen- “There aint no reason”- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amwVyRH2B8A Comment by JH= I love this video, but it doesn’t get good until half way through so stick with it.  The imagery is pretty true if you ask me.

4)      The Mountain Goats- “This Year”- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYCzDhaRV60

      Comment by JH= Imagine your love life was captured by the Taliban….that is all I will    say about this one.

5)      The Avett Brothers- “Murder in the city”- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aE7rkSELM3I Comment by JH= This video by the Avett brothers is the best comment on family values that I have heard in a long time.  Eat that Sarah Palin!
