Sufjan Stevens on Sofia Coppola
Sufjan Stevens put up a pretty interesting post on his blog over at Asthmatic Kitty on the origins of his name, among other things.
He also dug up "Sofia's Song," which he wrote in college. It's very spare, just vocals and a banjo, but definitely has that Sufjan sound. Listen to it at the link above.... » more

Commercial Watch: Gain
For one generation, Berlin's "Take My Breath Away" conjures this scene:
But, unfortunately, for anyone born after 2000, it will now mean detergent. (This would be more effective if I could find a video of the actual commercial, but you have to work with what you have.... » more

Jimmy from "Degrassi" raps
By eh
(via)
I had heard that Aubrey Graham (who plays Jimmy Brooks on "Degrassi: The Next Generation") was interested in pursuing a rap career, and I dismissed it the way that all actor/musician crossovers are usually dismissed -- which usually is deserved.

Someone mashed up Radiohead and Jay-Z. The mashers up just love Jay-Z, don't they? (I'm referencing the Grey Album. Sorry I can't make it smoother than that.)

Depeche Mode - "Wrong" (official music video)
OK, the song's not that good. It's awful, actually. But the video ... the video!

Bohemian Rhapsody
In this video, this guy plays "Bohemian Rhapsody" on old computer equipment. Here's what he used, according to the YouTube description:
Please note no effects or sampling was used. What you see is what you hear (does that even make sense?)
Atari 800XL was used for the lead piano/organ sound
Texas Instruments TI-99/4a as lead guitar
8 Inch Floppy Disk as Bass

Metric "Help, I'm alive"
Here's the new video for Metric's "Help, I'm Alive," off "Fantasies."
And here's a fan-made video, somewhat embarrassingly set to images from the movie "Twilight."
A friend lent me one of these books, and now I can't stop reading them, even though I hate myself and Stephenie Meyer the whole time I am tearing through the pages.
But back to Metric, I only have love... » more
