YOMOYA - I Know, Why Not?

Now with 50 percent more synchronized traffic lights!

This song is quite depressing.

And not just for the title reference to the guy who killed himself.
Cool animation trumps all, however, and this video left me surprisingly happy, which -- in case you care -- was far afield from my initial reaction to this song several years back.

*GASP* 10 p.m. and no updates!

Hey, you got a freakin' video with mustaches AND the magic pipe.
And you want MORE? I got nothin' ...

Yay mustache. Go mustache!

There's a serious lack of 90s in your musical diet ...

Rectified HEREIN.

You DO know it's Christmas, right?!

Music: Bill Frisell

This is old but ...

It's cool editing and the song is pretty. No more reasons are needed.

Music: A dose of Sunday weirdness ...

Courtesy of my favorite guitar player.
Come for the choppy killswitch intro, stay for the pretty Eddie Hazel-like solo.

Music: Just for the record ...

I liked these guys before it was cool.

Music: Didn't see this one coming ...

But I'm pretty darned psyched about it.

Music: Cause = Time

Not entirely sure why this video has always intrigued me.
Probably something to do with the fact that I can only perform live music well while wearing a mask.

Music: How can you NOT be excited these guys are on tour?

I need to practice guitar.

It's been over 4 days. This is not healthy.
My hands actually feel weak, man. Eeeeek!

Muppets: Simon Soundman

I'm jealous of Simon Soundman's tourettes.

Viral Flashback: Math Rap, Y'all

Nerdgasm: Spock, Bilbo and one mind-blowing LP

From the Two Sides of Leonard Nimoy LP. Insanity. Utter insanity.

Music: Takagi Masakatsu, "Girls"

This song just makes me happy.
Wistful but with a touch of melancholy, 'Girls' is far and away my favorite song off of Japanese composer Takagi Masakatsu's brilliant 2007 album, "Private/Public." Check out a clip below.

Music: Because we all need a guitar crazy solo ...

I give you Buckethead.

Music: Ambulance Ltd. - Stay Where You Are

Because it's what I've had on repeat for a few days now.
Off their 2004 debut LP. Unfortunately, the band (kinda) broke up about two years ago. Bassist Matt Dublin formed The Red Romance with drummer Darren Beckett and Ambulance LTD's Web site officially went down a few months back.
Apparently lead singer Marcus Congleton continues to produce new material for the band with John Cale (Velvet Underground), but as of yet, nothing's been released. In the meantime, I'll keep listening to this.
