Here’s a quick post about a music video that I’ve been enjoying for a few years now. The song is The Owl and the band is I Love You but I’ve Chosen Darkness. It’s a pretty intense video. Just a short one, but it has a lot of emotion in it. I recommend hitting that full screen button and turning up the volume. It’s a bit dark for a Monday, but hey, why not?

Clicking on the album cover over there will take you to Amazon where you can preview the whole album which features this song.

That’s right, it’s a super Terrific Tuesday! I thought I had posted this before, but I guess not. Many people are already aware of the Montgomery Flea Market dude with his smooth raps and dances to promote his living rooms, bedrooms, and dinettes. He’s got a flea market that is apparently just like a mini mall, hey hey!

Here is his wonderful video, and keep reading below, for a remix video that is possibly the greatest mash-up combination I have ever seen!

Brilliant huh? Well slow down, now is where it gets real good. This fellow over on Vimeo, PimpDaddySupreme, saw the above video and also came across a mix of a Pet Shop Boys song, Minimal. His genius went to work, and below are the glorious results. It really is like this was meant to be.

And finally, if you need some background music right now as you get on with your daily tasks, here is a remix of the Flea Market song with added Christopher Walken and cowbell. That’s right, possibly the Terrificest Tuesday ever!

It’s a rainy day here in Florida, the home of GoodbyeBlueSky.com. It’s a great day to space out and relax. So here is one of my favorite videos to help me do exactly that.

The song, as you will find out if you click through, is Please Don’t Go by Barcelona. I’m checking out their album on Lala.com right now, and it’s not quite my style of music. I do love the song on the video, but their up-tempo stuff is lacking something for my ears. Perhaps you’ll dig it, that’s fine.

As with most HD videos, you’ll get the smoothest video by letting it load completely before playing it. So, click play, hit that there full screen button, and enjoy the pretty swimming things!

The Knife released a new album online today! I haven’t even listened to it yet! I’ve been spending too much time getting caught up on the Australian Open.

So here is the link to the new album, available to listen free streaming online and you can purchase the album there as well. Sorry for the horrible grammar today, I’m in a bit of a tight spot, gotta hurry!

The Knife – Tomorrow, In a Year

And here is a video of a great rhythmic song off of their previous album, Silent Shout. The song is We Share Our Mother’s Health:

I’ve had this song stuck in my head for over a week now. It’s brilliant! Something about the simple synthesized music that just makes it perfect. Of course, the lyrics and top notch acting make it a perfect video for Terrific Tuesday!

Poe is one of my favorite female artists. She has only released two albums, the first coming out in 1995 and the second in 2000. She has a very unique voice that can easily send chills down my spine. You may recognize her most radio played song, Angry Johnny.

She got into a bad situation with her record label, halting the production of a third studio album, which is a real shame. Now that she’s out of the contract, she’s getting her presence back out there via website with a blog and Myspace posts and emails. I hope this is all going to build up to a lot more music from her.

Some more of her vocals can be heard in some songs by a band called Conjure One. I think she has a total of five songs with them. Those songs are incredible. Conjure one also did work with Sinead O’Connor.

The link to her website is right here! Check her out, I think you’ll dig her.

The Eels have been busy lately! Their new album, End Times, was just released on Tuesday. This is their second album in only seven months, crazy! Hombre Lobo was their last album released in June of 2009. That album was rockin, this new one is quite a bit toned back from the sound of it. I haven’t got my hands on it yet, so I’m only able to speculate.

Here are a few videos that E has put up on YouTube. Enjoy!

Erlend Øye is a unique looking guy from Sweden with bouncy, red, curly hair and usually prominent glasses. He actually looks like he could be a twin brother of a friend of mine, which I find pretty strange, since he’s such a peculiar looking fellow. But that’s neither here nor there.

Erlend is the talent behind the band known as The Whitest Boy Alive. He also has put out solo work and has another band called Kings of Convenience. More on those at a later date. His style of music is generally similar throughout – good mellow beats with kind of a light-hearted groove.

I’ve recently put these albums on for background music during games of Rummikub and some other group card/board games. It seems to ease the tension of games that are otherwise likely to start a feud or two. As you are hopefully hearing right now, Dreams, the 2006 release of theirs, has some great toe-tapping beats in it. Burning is the song that, I believe, has received the most exposure on the album. The songs have a great flow to them and I’d bet it would be hard to find somebody who can be in a sour mood while listening to this music.

The 2009 release of The Whitest Boy Alive is entitled Rules, sticking with the simple one-word album title. It’s more of the same type of sound. Intentions is probably my top track at the moment from this one. It’s got that synthesized vibraphone sound to it that just makes you want to do some tiny dance moves while sitting in a chair.

High On the Heels has an almost disco like feel to it. I guess you could say that about quite a few of the songs. The staccato keyboard style provides great melody and percussion. It’s simple, but just great to listen to I think.

Hopefully you’ll find his music as soothing and mood-lifting as I do. As usual, those links under the players there will take you to Amazon and iTunes to check it out. Thanks again Sweden!

Well, I’m off to a slow start for posting in 2010, go figure. Luckily, I just ran across this incredible video of the San Diego Chargers’ future Hall of Fame running back LaDanian Tomlinson in an awful 80’s style music video. It has all the classics of a sports music video: stiff dancing, awkwardly placed lyrics to go to the beat, terrible blue (or green) screening, and plenty of football puns!

I think he says it best with this quote from the song: “Not a very good call.” Enjoy.

This will get all the ladies dancing. Thanks Shane!
