Sorry For All The Posts Lately

Some awesome YouTube stuff though.

General Elektriks - Facing That Void (video)
General Elektriks - Facing That Void (live)
General Elektriks - Frost On Your Sunglasses (video)

I've been obsessed with the General Elektriks for about 6 months now. It's basically a one-man thing, but as you can see in the video he does have a band that he tours with apparently. Same label as DJ Shadow. I call it "French Hip-Hop" but, as you can see A) he sings in English (there are some French-language tracks on his cd) and B) it's not very hip-hop-ish (though, again, on the cd he does have an MC - I use that term loosely since he's not a true "master of ceremonies" for this cd, or even the tracks, just a rhymes, mostly - that he uses on some of his tracks) - but what else does one call such things?

Ted Leo & The Pharmacists - Rude Boys (live)

Ted Leo are flat-out awesome. We (Erin and I) saw them at Bimbo's 360 in San Francisco - one of the better spent $15 I've had.

Sonic Youth - 100% (video)

It's Sonic Youth. And skateboarding. What else do you need?

And just for Brian:
Queen - I Want To Break Free (video)
-You may need to blind yourself after watching this video as punishment for your eyes for not allowing you to turn away.
