Triple Trouble

So, I felt like updating this thing, but wasn't all that sure with what, exactly. So, here's three songs/videos I've been high on lately for y'all to kill a few minutes with.

Silversun Pickups: Lazy Eye

It took a few listens to start sinking in, but there's just something about this song that feels... well, huge. It's like the near six minutes it takes to unfold and explode seems too small a package to contain it. And the hacked to pieces radio edit completely removes the breathing room needed for this song to properly do its business. That's why I've included the full-length version of the video, so you can experience this at first unassuming, then supercharged hellbeast of a song the way it was originally intended. Enjoy.



Now that that's done, why not pay them a visit?

Tool: The Pot

For some ungodly reason, Tool have yet to deliver an official video from 2006's 10,000 Days. But, thanks to some enterprising lads and lasses at YouTube, we can still watch some pretty neat videos. Like this one.



The Killers: Romeo & Juliet (BBC)

When I was first given money for the express purpose of buying prerecorded music, I chose Dire Straits' Brothers in Arms. At the time, the only reason I needed was the mind blowingly brilliant video for Money For Nothing. How did they do such amazing things? Looking back, the video seems kind of shitty compared to the truly amazing accomplishments possible with CG and the like. But, after over twenty years, you know what? The record holds up as an all time classic.

So, will The Killers ever release an all time classic? If you believe Brandon Flowers, they already have. Me? I think there's still a long way to go for these guys. But, I'll give 'em props for a not shitty at all rendition of one of Knopfler & Co.'s greatest... even if it isn't from Brothers in Arms.




Hope these helped you through a slow patch...
