My current Top 3 Pearl Jam slow/pensive jams

Immortality - Sacremento 1998

Parting Ways - Lubbock Texas 2000

The Roots - Whistler BC July 19, 2008.

So this weekend the 215 played in Whistler BC on top of Blackcomb mountain. One week prior I had gone to Vegas to catch them performing at the Hard Rock. Due to some unfortunate extreme donky'ness I wound up missing the first 45 minutes of the show. It is something I will never forgive myself for. Anyway, 7 days later I had the opportunity to redeem myself and made sure to be ready for the start of this show. I always enjoy the creative ways that they start and this one was perhaps one of the best I've seen so far.

So without further adieu. The Deuce Stick and Dynamite!!
Thanks for the video (Nico&Eme)

Common - Gladiator

Here is a good underground Common clip. I'm not sure the details on this show (City, Venue, etc) but I do know I dig the song and it's called Gladiator. It looks like he's just standing in the middle of a bar with a microphone. They don't even have a stage in there....

The power of music without words

More good tunes to give an ear to

This will be a tasty treat

I like the way he says "He'll NEVER know you're gone." You can tell that he changed the inflection in his voice to mimick that of an angry child. It's perfect. It sounds like he says "newwer" instead of never

Smack my pitch up

And this Minesweeper spoof cracks me up

2 Talib Kweli songs - unreleased

Two really good Kweli tracks - unreleased. They were made for the album Eardrum but did not make the album...or something like that

Interviewww

Me-I

They are such weirdos...and that's why they make good tunes. They are TV on the Radio and they are coming to Vancouver sooooon. :D


wolf like me


Just got back from Vegas where I had the privilege of seeing the legendary Roots crew for the 12th time in my history. Although I donked it and missed 45 minutes of the show (I don't wanna talk about it) it was everything I had hoped for and more. Great sound, great venue, good crowd. Luckily, since they will be in Whistler this Saturday, i will have a chance to redeem myself and see those coveted first 45 minutes. They generally have fantastic openings so I will be careful to catch it this time around.

TANKO@WORK / BLACK THOUGHT FROM THE ROOTS

This shit is tight. Same beat as Thought@Work, same chorus, different lyrics
