@Dchill:

This is a goodie, (We Are) Performance
"Short Sharp Shock"

D, just sent this to my girl and she loves it. The Knife "Heartbreaks" has been playing everywhere for a while now. Good stuff as well! Gonna be getting more into this thread…

[Dchill]

Cool Lando, yeah I've been listening to the knife for years now, they just released a new album, it's decent I like it.  Hell here's another dope tune.
Simian Mobile Disco, "I Believe"

[Giles]

Don't particularly want to take this to an older era, but I just love this.  The last minute or so is positively  pornographic - damn wish I could do a collab with Annie:

[Dchill]

Here's some David Bowie, "Fashion"

[Giles]

I love the dude, but I aint queuing up for those strides….G

[Dchill]

This shit right here is the bee's knees…..hilarious.

[Giles]

Now listening to "The Dividing Line".  Thanks D

Speaking of Tarantino flicks…

I used to mop the floor of the sandwhich joint I worked for dancing to this song, it being the only listenable tune on a repeating playlist otherwise composed of nothing but drivel and tripe.

[Beatle]

this is soo effing perfect for mopping the floors*

Lol, my coworkers didn't get the Mr. Blond reference and just thought I was kinda off, but damn was sweet to have it queue just in time for clean up.  Clowns and jokers yo. Stuck in my head now, lol.

Lol, such an exceptional movie. "If you shoot me in a dream, you'd better wake up and apologize"

Right now, I'm jammin' to some Blessed Black Wings - High on Fire, who'll be visiting our cuidad. In two weeks!

[braille_teeth]

This is the most pure rock performance I have ever seen in person. (sound sucks on youtube, but…)

This is also… quite compelling. As rock music.

I don't believe in "all-time" favorites! Too mutable! Especially with history in mind. These are contemporary though…

[Dchill]

Daggers, "Money".  These guys are from Manchester, sucks they split up.  Great song to run to.
Cheers, enjoy.

Gregory Isaacs doing Night Nurse in Jamaica in 1982

Burning Spear live in Paris in 1988, so majestic (notice the female horn section), a mystical experience

Enjoy!
