The Song Fight Bulletin Board

One of my all time favorite motivational bands for their sheer rockitude is Helmet. Here's Unsung and In The Meantime and Wilma's Rainbow and Exactly What You Wanted.

I forgot Boards of Canada's "Dayvan Cowboy." It is good.

My first thought was for A-ha - Take On Me - this was the coolest video ever, in 1985... the combination of animation and live was very cool. I'm sticking with that.

That's my all-time favorite too.

Weezer's Buddy Hollyis a close second.

In fear of turning this thread into a 'cool videos' thread:

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xe6p-5tUh3M" target="resource window">Eagles of Death Metal - I Want You So Hard</a>

and blast from past. While not the actual original video for the song... it's still really awesome.

It takes a while to load and if you are technically inclined...you can view the source and figure out how to download it instead.

I think my fave video (I don't watch much videos) is "Why Can't I Be You" by The Cure. What is going on there? I could write a thesis on it, if I could write and I had any need to write a thesis. It's cool because it's so insane. Every time I see it, I think, "Man, I need to start a Cure tribute band but we only have this one song." Because I don't want to be Robert Smith with a can of hairspray and red lipstick, I want to be Robert Smith as a half-assed furry.

Denyer and his boys running nekkid with their Rones hang'n out, in this one.

Whatrya? by TISM, one of my favourite clips. Also, Defecate on my face by TISM (no actual defecating in the clip) and Windowlicker by Aphex Twin have always rated highly.

CRay, allow me to point you to Albatross's parody of 'Weird' Al's stylistic parody of Mr. Dylan. Cracks me up in its brilliance.

Al's been really good about throwing extras on his later cds like karaoke tracks and videos and the like.

I don't know much about Eagles of Death Metal, but the drummer looks like the singer in Queens of the Stone age and I thought I recognized a few other faces too, like the bald dude looks like the guitar player from the Earthlings. Plus that was for sure Jack Black as the bar tender.
*right click, save as* Thanks for that Hoblit, you made my day, I love that tune and I'm going search more from them when I get back.

yeah, that was Jack Black. And Dave Grohl was in there too.

I love music videos, but I haven't seen very many lately. One of my faves was the Bros. Quay doing Michael Penn's "Long Way Down." Actually, come to think of it, Michael Penn's "Try" directed by Paul Thomas Anderson is also great...one long continuous shot. It's a bonus on the Boogie Nights DVD, where I recommend you see it ... instead of the shitty quality stuff I'm finding on the internets.

Is true, yes, Josh Homme, yes.

Yeah, I believe the drummer is the singer from Queens Of The Stone Age. Jack Black and Dave Grohl are both in that video. The lead singer of that band is actually a drummer of another band. (I want to say the steady drummer of QotSA but I know they have revolving drummers) I think that Dave G with the wig looks like Adam Goldberg...and I giggle a little to myself.

nope.

right, I wasn't confident about that...I do know that the lead singer is a drummer for another band. Thats all the info I have right now.

EDIT: I take this back, I've been going on what our guitarist said...and it appears that he is wrong.

All guitarists lie through their teeth.

I thought Dave Grohl looked familiar too, so I Googled Adam Goldberg to see if you were right, and yep, that's the guy I was thinking of too.
Also, I looked up the wiki for The Eagles Of Death Metal, and sure enough, the guitar player is Dave Catching from the Earthlings.
Members:
Jesse "The Devil" Hughes
Dave Catching
Gene Trautmann
Brian "Big Hands" O'Connor
Josh "Baby Duck" Homme

Something else caught my eye. As I was reading Josh Homme's wiki, I noticed he is also the founder of the Dessert Sessions. I was just talking to someone about Ween, and low and behold, Dean Ween is in the Dessert Sessions line up, as well as a few other cool peoplez. Nifty.

Dude, all of those desert sessions albums are SO GREAT.

I reckon I am probably Josh Homme fan #1 around these parts, must be, sump.

There is one track, "Punk Rock Caveman Living In A Prehistoric Age" with Blag Dahlia (of the Dwarves) singing that just melts my butter every time.
