Beavis and Butt-Head, Full Episodes

 Hey that gets me to thinking, remember when MTV played music videos???  Anyways thats a topic for another time, I guess.  I mean really thats just beating a dead horse. 

NEW THE BLACK KEYS SONG

Today, The Black Keys released a new single off their upcoming album El Camino (due in stores Dec. 6th).  Lonely Boy moves with that expected rock we have become accustomed to.  Not to mention the video is rather funny.  Watch and enjoy the greatness that is The Black Keys.

ZAPPA - DECLINE OF THE MUSIC INDUSTRY

I wont bore everyone with the obvious details of how Frank Zappa is a genius or how he was always ahead of his time.  Just watch the video.  Then watch even more of Frank on YouTube.  I actually think I like the clips of Frank more than his actual music.  I know, I know I am not supposed to say stuff like that.  Just watch please.

COVERING ACHTUNG BABY

Nine Inch Nails, Depeche Mode, The Killers, Jack White and more have put together a tribute to the ridiculously good album Achtung Baby.  The album is easily one of my personal favorites.  The type of album that every track is good, not because it would be a pop hit, but just because of the craftsmanship involved and the way the songs move effortlessly from one song to the next.  Check out NIN's version of Zoo Station here at Consequence of Sound, along with the aforementioned artists.  Enjoy.

SONG OF THE DAY

Fearless by Pink Floyd

I figured I would just stick with the Pink Floyd theme (see previous posting).  I am forever grateful to the radio personality (yes, I think that sounds better than disc jockey or dj - but thats another topic for another posting) who played this song on my lunch hour at work.  I was the typical poser Floyd fan, still am to the most part really.  But when I heard this song, I knew it was Pink Floyd.  That distinct guitar, that distinct vocal of David Gilmour.  It was as though somehow I had rediscovered Pink Floyd.  This song just takes me to away to a spot.  A spot where I am always by myself with my thoughts, thinking inward if you will.  I love that a song can do that. 

WELL DONE JIMMY

Last week on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon the show dedicated all the shows from the week to Pink Floyd.  Very cool concept, and the performances were excellent as well.  Different bands covered songs throughout the week.  The performances were:

Breathe by The Shins

In The Flesh with Roger Waters & Foo Fighters

Luscifer Sam by MGMT

Wish You Were Here by Dierks Bentley

Mother by Pearl Jam

Again, really good performances of a legendary band.  One of my favorite sites has links to each performance from the shows.  Check it out here.  Antiquiet - Pink Floyd Week
