It has been awhile since I have posted on blogger. During my absence I haven't really missed blogging but I do find myself wanting to put together a Tuesday Morning Music Mix every once and awhile. I guess I decided to put this one together because I discovered "Alabama Shakes" last night on SNL. I can usually count on the musical mavens at SNL to point me at two new musicians that I will love a season. Alabama Shakes is the first one this season. Please Enjoy...

Tuesday Morning Music Mix

Sunday Supple Sounds

Grimes - Oblivion (live at Grimey's)

I have been obsessed with Grimes as of late. Her music reminds me of something I have experienced in dreams. I believe that I stumbled on Grimes on Katies FB but it may have been Kristas. I can't remember which since those two are always posting interesting music in eachothers feeds.

Coco Rosie - Japan (live)

No Tueday Morning Music Mix reunion post would be complete without some Coco Rosie. In the interest of keeping is classic yet fresh I have chosen a live version of Japan. Japan has always reminded me of a lunatic parade and the live performance really captures that.

Alabama Shakes - Hold On (Konk Session)

In the days of autotune and lipsyncing it's kind of hard to believe that Alabama Shakes is for real. I listened to four different versions of this song this morning and all of them sounded the same, and they all sounded exactly like their performance on SNL last night. They are one well rehersed band.

Haim - Forever

I discovered Haim on Grimes' tumblr before she took it down. Not the type of music I usually listen to but it has managed to Brain Chigger me.

Well that's it. Hope it was enjoyed. Until next time...

Tuesday Morning Music Mix 2010-09-14

I am returned and I bring you yet another Tuesday Morning Music Mix. The last couple of weeks I have been unpacking my new apartment and haven't had the time on a Tuesday Morning for my weekly dose of music video mania. This weeks mix is made up of a bunch of youtube originals that I have been chuckling at these past weeks.

TLO - TLO Roll Call
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5y3NQi_RAY&feature=player_embedded#!
This video was thrown before my eyes by Lauren. I'm sure there is a full story behind this group shot but all I need to know is in the song. They are some hard-assed otaku mutha fuckas.

Tim Minchin - Pope Song
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHRDfut2Vx0&feature=player_embedded
I am so glad to live in the time I do.  A handful of centuries ago Tim Minchin could have been boiled in oil for this funny, insightful and crass song. The most beautiful thing about living in the western hemisphere in the 20th Century and beyond is the freedom of the common people to tear down and piss on our perceived betters. The beauty of it shines brightest when these public figures deserve their lamb basting.

Masters of Lightning - Ghostbusters Theme
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ep1r0unWkYc&feature=related
I have long hoped to attend a Tesla Coil Recital. Every time I meet with my cardiologist I mean to ask him if that would be alright and every time I  forget. Since I have a pacemaker and Tesla Coils put out electro magnetic fields I feel that I should check before attempting to attend such an event. This is mad science meets musical genius. 

Preston Reed -  Tractor Pull
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oVzB0zRBU0&feature=player_embedded
This piece of music makes me think of the opening of a movie that exists only in my head. A drifter that rides the rails being thrown from a train at the outskirts of a depression area town. He picks himself up and walks into town. Sitting at the lone town dinners counter to order coffee he is met with unapproving eyes and a heavy set waitress shaking her head. Further up the road he chased off of a park bench by a bunch of locals into a nice white picket fence community. Feeling along one of the fence posts he finds some hobo signs marking his way to a warm meal for some chores done. He knocks on the door to have it swing wide open and lying dead on the floor is the lady of the house. The sudden stop at the end of the song with coincide with the downward pan to the lady.

Uncredited - Being a Dickhead's Cool
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVmmYMwFj1I&feature=player_embedded
I think everyone knows someone that this song could be dedicated to. I find that it has been stuck in my head at really inopportune moments. I also find the statement in this song is fairly accurate. Being a dickhead is cool and that is why I am not.


Mike Relm - Korean Explains English Swear Words: Remix
http://www.youtube.com/user/relmvision#p/u/1/2-TqPk26A3Y
Mike Relm specializes in remixing things people ask him to. I chose this one because I was afraid that 'The Pope Song' didn't cover my mandate cursing allowances. 

That makes another successful TMMM for this week. I am all moved in now and hope to add a couple more weekly features to this blog. If you read my blog please comment. I hope you all have as awesome a week as these guys did and if you are ever feeling down about yourself or need a quick pick-me-up just think, you could be this guy.
