If you play it backward you can hear Paul singing “eat your vegetables.”

Saturday Video Roundup: Natalie Maines, out on her own
Natalie Maines has a new solo CD set to drop Tuesday. It’s entitled Mother, and it’s simply wonderful. If you’d like a preview you can stream it at NPR. I think we can now safely call Maines a former C&W artist. Mother, which is largely a collaboration with Ben Harper and his band, lies solidly to […]
Saturday Video Roundup: Mash The Beatles
It’s amazing how many really cool mashups seem to incorporate The Beatles. Or maybe that isn’t amazing at all. I mean, they were the freakin’ Beatles. Anyway, I know we’ve done this theme before, but best I can tell, it ain’t broke, so I ain’t fixing it. Here’s The Fabs and Queen doing one of my […]
Saturday Video Roundup: New music of interest in early 2k13
It’s way too early in the year to be talking best of, especially since we’re anticipating 2013 releases from some of our favorite artists (like Jeffrey Dean Foster, for instance, and The Lost Patrol, to name another). But there is some new tuneage out already that we’re digging on. So for your ArtsWeek SVR, have […]
Saturday Video Roundup: Shit Southern women say
My little sister sent me this the other day and I’ve been having flashbacks ever since. There’s only one false note: no Southern woman in history ever said “is my hair too big?”
Saturday Video Roundup: Who ya gonna call?
Happy Saturday, kiddies, and welcome back to another exciting episode of SVR! Today, let’s see if you can guess the theme. Up first – I’ve heard of “gangbusters,” but “Gangnambusters” is a new one. Next: In retrospect, it’s hard to understand why they didn’t do it this way in the first place. Finally, the only […]
Hey, Jets Overhead – pick me! And Ronan!
Jets Overhead has an interesting little social media promotion running. Upload a photo of you telling the world what you really want… If selected, your photo will then appear in the music video for “What You Really Want” which will premiere here in October 2012. GET STARTED On a sheet of paper, write down what […]
Saturday Video Roundup: September Gurls
As September draws to an end, let’s pay tribute to the greatest rock song ever with the month in the title. Up first, Big Star with the original. (Thanks Alex – we miss you.)
A brief tribute to Greg Ham of Men at Work. RIP.
Music is a precious thing, and it’s always sad when even a little bit of it dies. Thus, this morning begins on a down note with the news that Greg Ham, multi-instrumentalist for Men at Work, is dead at the age of 58. Casual music fans will remember him as the author of the catchy […]
Saturday Video Roundup: the world's smartest animals
I know that humans are the pinnacle of intellectual life on Planet Earth (well, unless you believe Douglas Adams, anyway). But there are some awfully smart animals out there, too. Today’s SVR, which pays tribute to our furry and feathery fellow travelers, begins with the Shaun White of the animal kingdom.
Saturday Video Roundup: deconstruction angels (mash my bitch up)
The Internet era (and the age of PostModernism in general) has given the world a lot of garbage. But damned if the proliferation of electronic technology hasn’t produced some freakin’ awesome moments, too. Like this, which was sent my way by our buddy Frank Balsinger. One of the absolute best mashups I’ve ever seen.
Sports and songs: a combination that unites and inspires
by Bryan Clark On Jan. 27, 1991, Whitney Houston sang “The Star-Spangled Banner” before Super Bowl XXV. As news of her death spread, many people remember the performance as one of her career highlights and one of the best renditions of America’s national anthem. Songs and sports often combine.
Saturday Video Roundup: the quiet acoustic genius of Bert Jansch
Let’s listen to a song first.
Saturday Video Roundup: it was 20 years ago today…
On September 24, 1991, a little-known band from Seattle released a CD called Nevermind. Nothing was ever the same again.
Sunday Video Roundup: a 9/11 special
Today, if we choose to listen, we’ll hear a great deal about America, about the last decade, about the lessons we’ve learned. Football will be played. Flags will be waved. Tears will be shed. And tomorrow we’ll be exactly what we were yesterday, only moreso. Maybe today is a bad time for critiques. Or maybe […]
Saturday Video Roundup: dead man partying
I’m heading out for a friend’s all-day bachelor party event here in a few minutes. Back when I was DJing I did a lot of wedding receptions, and I always made sure to play three songs. Somehow, I never got punched once. So in honor of my buddy’s upcoming nuptials, here’s a matrimonial threefer. First, […]
