Miles Davis

I can’t say I’ve ever thought about what Miles Davis’ classic album “Kind of Blue” would sound like if it was ion 8-bit, but apparently someone else did. Warning: they want actual cash for the whole thing. The samples are well worth the visit though.

YYZ!

You haven’t heard Rush’s YYZ until you’ve heard (and seen) it played by an 11-year old on the keyboard.

Soundtracks

This site has tons of anime soundtracks, but what has me browsing for new ringtone material is the huge collection of video game themes mixed in.

Pitchfork.tv

While I detest Pitchfork’s music reviews, they’ve done quite well with their new site: Pitchfork.tv.

Jango – Social Internet Radio

Jango calls itself “social internet radio”. While I like online radio, I pretty much detest the idea of socializing. If you take that aspect out, it’s still an ok site. They played “Mouth Breather” by The Jesus Lizard for me, so it can’t be all bad. If you’re bored with Pandora check it out.

Saul Williams – The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of NiggyTardust!

If you’re looking for a few album today, head over and snag Saul Williams – The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of NiggyTardust. If you don’t know Saul, watch the video for List Of Demands and Black Stacey to see if you like his style. The latest is either free or you can donate $5 to help Saul out a bit. Great stuff.

1980’s Music Videos

Watch 1,000 music videos from the 1980’s (100 per year). The quality is pretty bad (Youtube), but I haven’t seen some of these since they were hits.

The 30th Anniversary of Punk

Time Magazine claims it’s the 30th Anniversary of Punk. I’m not sure that’s true at all, but the photos used are worth checking out for Ramones and Sex Pistols fans.

Last.tv Player

The Last.tv player is a neat idea. Pop in a Last.fm username and see videos that are picked based on their song history. My player has so far shown Superchunk, Shellac, The Who and the White Stripes appearance on The Simpsons.

Spool

if you enjoy Pandora and the (recently) CBS-acquired Last.Fm, check out Spool! (not to be confused with Spoon!)

Just came across Slacker too.
