White Wires – Let’s Go The Beach (MUSIC VID)
Powerpop masters [and KLYAM favorites to boot] shot a video in SUBZERO temperatures for “Let’s Go To The Beach,” an excellent tune from my one of my top LPs of 20-10 WW2 (2010, Dirtnap).
By the way, if you haven’t heard, they are playing April 29 at the Starlab in Somerville.
Also, if you haven’t noticed, when it rains around KLYAM, it usually pours in terms of coverage of bands. I’m on a White Wires (and related bands) streak. Watch out!<
Rap News: Revolution
This is the latest of my favorite ongoing youtube series, it’s very political, but also very funny. Even if you don’t agree with the message, I hope you take it in the same humor as you might take a Daily Show episode. Plus, the detail they put into it is amazing!
Music Vid of the Day: Mark Sultan- Status
Mark Sultan – Status from Daniel Taylor on Vimeo.
Here is the infamous “Status” video from fan Daniel Taylor. The imagery perfectly complements Sultan’s song. Awesome job!
Who Did it Better? “Sympathy for the Devil”
Now this is a good one, not only because I am a big fan of both bands, but because Guns N’ Roses and the Rolling Stones are universally considered to be two of the greatest bands in rock and roll history (for me top ten). The song is “Sympathy for the Devil” by the Rolling Stones.
First up, The Rolling Stones:
Arctic Monkeys “Brick by Brick”
With the Arctic Monkeys embarking on another North American tour and a new album coming out, I figured now would be a good time to check out their latest song “Brick by Brick”
I am really digging it and am hopeful for the new album.
Music Vid of the Day: “Everything With You”
The Pains of Being Pure at Heart’s 2009 classic “Everything With You.” I love the old, home movie look. Cute girls too!
Who Did it Better? “Hey Hey, My My”
Back again after a bit of a hiatus and one of many new things that I discovered is the genius of Neil Young. Growing up my father always called him a poor man’s Bob Dylan, but I really learned to appreciate him. On that note, I figured I would start off with a “Who Did It Better?” segment between Neil Young and another great musical act Oasis for the song “Hey Hey, My My” (which is the song Cobain quoted in his death “It is better to burn out, then to fade away”).
*Note: Neil Young also has a song is called “My My, Hey Hey” lyrically it’s almost exactly the same, musically “My My, Hey Hey” has more of folk sound to it (both are off the album Rust Never Sleeps, “My My,Hey Hey” starts the album, “Hey Hey, My My” ends it) so just to showcase and add to the debate I will start off with “My My, Hey Hey”.
First up Neil Young
“My My, Hey Hey”
“Hey Hey, My My”
Next Oasis
“Hey Hey, My My”
I think the Oasis version has more of a fuller sound then either of Neil Young’s versions, but I think the song requires a more subtle touch (“My My, Hey Hey” is the more subtle) that Neil Young delivers, so I give the edge to Young over Oasis, and I also prefer “My My, Hey Hey” over “Hey Hey, My My”. but I really love all three versions.
Strokes Vid “Under Cover of Darkness”
