Another version of M.I.A.'s "Shells" ...

2008-10-31T03:58:41Z

This version of "Shells" has M.I.A.'s vocals slowed down, but the beat is still fast. Here is a new song by Bjork called "Nattura". The video is a compilation of a lot of Bjork's videos, and I think it came out pretty cool ...

Night of the Comet (1984) vs. Louchie Lou and Michie One's "Rich Girl"

2008-10-02T13:14:46Z

This is kind of goofy, but I wanted to uploaded Louchie Lou and Michie One's song, "Rich Girl" (I think it is from 1994), to YouTube. I have posted this song on VOX before, but I wanted to add a video to it, and I thought the scene from the 1984 ...

The season premiere of Saturday Night Live is on tonight. Michael Phelps is hosting. Tina Fey may make an appearance as Sarah Palin, and Barack Obama may make a cameo. It should be good. In other news, my YouTube account got deleted once again du...

Portishead's "We Carry On" vs. scene from "To Russia With Love" (James Bond movie)

2008-09-08T23:43:27Z

I really like Portishead's song, "We Carry On", from their album, Third. I have been listening to the album a lot more lately, especially when I have to drive to San Antonio for my job. Anyway, the sound of the song makes me think of a train (that...

T.A.G. - The Assassination Game

2008-08-17T16:16:53Z

Every once in a while a memory of a movie will resurface, and I will do my best to research it through YouTube, IMDB, Netflix, torrents, etc. Well, this happened recently with the 80s movie, "T.A.G. - The Assassination Game". This is the only vide...

M.I.A. must be doing well because now she is being spoofed ...

2008-08-16T00:07:23Z

This video is not that funny, but it's interesting that this guy wanted to spend so much time doing a spoof of her "Paper Planes" video ... Also, I am making a YouTube playlist for Piracy Funds Terrorism, vol. 1. I have only have 6 of the 21 son...

I don't feel like dancing ... without you

2008-07-29T04:06:34Z

This Scissor Sisters song and remix is so old, but I have listened to it again recently. I love it when it says "I don't feel like dancing without you" over and over again. I think the song is actually kind of sad. I always imagine the song is bei...

Santogold (with Pharrell Williams and Julian Casablancas) in Converse commercial

2008-07-25T03:11:11Z

This is one of the best commercials/music videos I have seen in a while. I love the special effects that look like something you would do in an arts and crafts class. You can download the song at www.converse.com (after some clicking).
