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.

Where’s the Beef?

How have I gone more than 25 years without knowing that Clara Peller recorded a single for her Where’s The Beef? catchphrase?

www.post-punk.com

Wowza, a big thank you to Michele for posting a link to this collection of “classic post-punk music videos”. A Contortions video? Excellent.

The Ultimate Bootleg Experience

If you’re in the market for downloadable, quality audio bootlegs, you could do much worse than The Ultimate Bootleg Experience.

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.

If you’re a fan of music mash-ups, you must visit Go Home Productions for the currently available 5 year retrospective. 20 songs, all quality boots.

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.

absonderpop

Most people who have visited here for a while should know I likes me a good cover song. Well, absonderpop is a weblog that’s chock full of them. Hell, they just posted 19 different versions of Tom Petty’s “American Girl”. Ok, taking out the original and a live track you have 17, but that’s 17 more than I had. Go covers!

Best of Bootie

The Best of Bootie compilations are their picks for the best mashups from 2005 and 2006. Download away if mashups are your thing.

The Zimmers

Watch the video for The Zimmers’ version of “My Generation”. The kicker here is that they’re all elderly, the singer is 90 for God’s sake. Nice.

Copy, Right?

While going through my bookmarks in a vain attempt at spring cleaning I noticed that Copy, Right? is not only still around, it’s still great. If cover songs are your thing, check out the tunes. If they’re not, check it out anyways. Come on, everyone loves a bizarre cover of “Hollaback Girl”.

Finetune

Finetune looks sort of similar to Pandora and has a Wii option which is nice. Speaking of Pandora, this little Windows application appears to let you save the music you hear there.

To give you nightmares for this weekend: “Do the Hustle” Brady Bunch style.

Hardware Media & Radio

Hardware Media & Radio’s one of my favorite music weblogs, and the addition of a spiffy online magazine (PDF file) only makes me like it more.

Strange Reaction Podcast

If you’re into punk/noise/hardcore then check out the ooh-la-la fancy iTunes page for my podcast here. Huzzah for technology. Material on podcast not safe for work listening unless you happen to work for a particularly mellow company.
