Listen to some tracks on Micah's myspace (why the hell it's rivervalleycancerscare and not micahschnabel I have no fucking clue). http://www.myspace.com/rivervalleycancerscare
Anyway, here's a cool video of a track from the album, "American Static". Let me know what you think.

Check out this very cool video of The Gourds playing super-stripped down in a cramped elevator in Holland or something. Besides the uniqueness factor that they're playing in this elevator as it continues to make stops at floors (and Jimmy Smith drinks what I'm sure is quite an enjoyable elevator beer), the performance is actually really good. This is a testament to what good musicians these guys are that they can pull this off so well.
Seeing shit like this causes me to think: What other cool shit like this may exist on websites overseas?

The simplest of simple videos as far as concept goes, but with fucking MTV having shot itself in the foot over the past 15 years by replacing videos with those STUPID fucking shows, it's just good to see a goddamn music video.
This is the mellowest and only song on Cracker's new album ("Sunrise in the Land of Milk and Honey") that has that classic Cracker-style twang they do so well. It jumped out at me when I first bought the album as a standout track. The rest of the record is much more rocking, built around some cool classic -ock influenced riffs. It's damn good. Check out "Turn On, Tune In, Drop Out with Me", "Time Machine", and "Hey Brett (You Know What Time it is)", in addition to the previously mentioned "I Could Be Wrong, I Could Be Right". Be sure to turn. it. up.

I only have 3 of their albums, but you gotta check out the first 7 tracks of their 2006 album Heavy Ornamentals. A pretty kick-ass 7 straight songs to start a record for sure. Listen here:
The dudes are serious road warriors, so a picture with the van is appropriate
Here's a pretty great video of the fantastic "Westboro Baptist Church" (which I mentioned in the previous post) by the shit-kicking band I Can Lick Any Sonofabitch in the House.
note: I gotta be honest here - I have no idea who Fred Phelps is or anything about the Westboro Baptist Church. But after hearing this song, I can do nothing but want to fuck 'em.
