Unkle (feat. Thom Yorke): Music Video

Yeah, this video’s been out for a while and several of you may have seen it, but I continue to be amazed.

I like music from 2008!

In the spirit of the season, I am going to do a “best of” list for this year. This is a big deal to me, as I have been preparing for this since January 2008. I highly recommend the following albums for consumption…

12 Days of Christmas Music: Sufjan Stevens

The story goes that every year between 2001 and 2006 (sans 2004) Sufjan Stevens would record an EP of Christmas songs to give out to his family and friends. In 2006 he decided to gather all the EPs together and release them in one giant collection called Songs For Christmas. The set is […]

Super Mash Bros.

Some of you might not be that into what you may call “classical” music, but Tchaikovsky’s “Nutcracker” is a real masterpiece. Just think of all […]

12 Days of Christmas Music: Belle & Sebastian’s Live “Peel Christmas Party”

Back in 2002, our favorite Scottish band Belle & Sebastian recorded a Christmas set for some kind of party thrown by John Peel. What exists of it is a bootleg recording that puts other bootlegs to shame. The quality is awesome and the band is too. They play a bunch of holiday classics […]
