February 6th, 2013 Video Of The Week
Late, but this week’s music video is “Keep Fishin’” by Weezer
Probably before the shitstorm that was Make Believe, “Keep Fishin’”, off of the album Maladroit, was probably the last decent album before that drop off.
While a strong blues rhythm and excellent harmonies straight from the 50’s make this fun to listen to, the real reason I’m posting this is because these lucky bastards got to work with The Muppets, even before the big revival from 2011’s movie. These are exactly the kind of shenanigans from the original Muppet Show, and it just be the last time the band was having any fun before the “Let’s take ourselves seriously, but ironically” attitude of the last decade, hence why it’s also the last time I saw Rivers Cuomo smile in public too.

MUSIC VIDEO OF THE WEEK: "Ode To The Bouncer" by Studio Killers
This is "Ode To The Bouncer" by The Studio Killers. The chorus of the song is right up there with the catchiest of any of the Top 40 here in the States, and the verses, in their drunken, ranting stumble, paint a desperate picture of a girl who wants to get in to the club.
Said girl (despite the fact that the song is actually sung by a male), can be best described as "beautifully grotesque", like something Tim Burton would come up with if he took some anti-depressants. Bright and colorful, she stands contrast the oppressive black of the titular bouncer. The rest of the band has personas/characters as well, but they don't matter and have stupid names anyway.
LIVE VIDEO OF THE WEEK: "Gangnam Style" by PSY on Bass
Dude, it might be the half of a bottle of vodka I've been pounding, but SHE'S HOT!!!

VIDEO I SHOULD BE POSTING ON THIS DAY: "Washington" by The Professor Brothers
Celebrating our greatest founding father, George Washington, who kicked all the redcoats apart, and then banged England's Queen which is why we have Irish people now.
In 1777, George Washington saw a small British child drowning and didn't give a fuck. That's because that child died and later reincarnated as Adolf Hitler, who Washington would later shoot in the face in 1945.
VIDEO I WANTED TO POST REGARDLESS: "Princes Of The Universe" by Queen
We talked about this in the "Pass The Class" behind the scenes. God damn is Freddie Mercury an amazing frontman.
Confession: I've never seen Highlander. It's like Eps 5 and 6 of Star Wars, where I've seen bits and pieces, but never the whole thing continuously.
What other movies am I an idiot for missing? Post in the comments below!

First Music Video!
Yesterday was Day 2 of shooting the music video for "Pass The Class".
It felt so good to reunite with the Cannibal Troll crew again! It sucks they're an hour away, but that makes the trip all the more worth it. What I always need are people who I can bounce ideas off of.
A lot of the scenes we did were planned no more than an hour in advance, and I'm pretty sure planning would have ruined it. It's my first music video, so I'm a little nervous, and the second one I have planned out a bit more.
Like I've mentioned before, this blog is akin to a workout log for me, so I can check my progress and see where I'm at and get feedback. I love the feeling of "when it all comes together" and music provides a fun space where I can do all that, and my first music video is a big milestone, because I found people who care about this thing and it feels great. The feeling's mutual, because I wouldn't have worked on Dino Hunter MD if I didn't think it would be fun.
I'll be seeing Reel Big Fish, Goldfinger and Suburban Legends this Wednesday, so no Video Of The Week.

LIVE VIDEO OF THE WEEK: "Boom (Smash Stuff)" by Akira The Don at XFM
Sampling the song "Connection" by Elastica, here comes "Boom!" EXPLODING OUT OF YOUR SPEAKERS.
GET IT?
No, but seriously, you ever have a jam session and everyone is just so into it and on point that's it's the greatest fucking thing ever? Akira the Don, Why Lout and friends perform "Boom" live on XFM radio, and they're feelin' it, man.
The song, or at least the remix is on ATD's mixtape "Third Hand Wire Riffs". It has a lot of good songs set to 90's alt-rock beats, and I think it's the first ATD thing I ever downloaded.
MUSIC VIDEO OF THE WEEK: "Levels" by Avicii
In the same day I was shown "Legs" by ZZ Top, I was shown this video for my master class on "What The Hell Is This: Music Videos 101".
I am now convinced that dance videos are possibly the new forefront of the art of music video. No words to give context, only pure raw id, since the "hey we're at a club" scenario is played out, so the only thing left to publish is insanity set to infectious dance beats in beat to the mix.

LIVE VIDEO OF THE WEEK: "Everyone Says Hi" by David Bowie on Live With Regis and Kelly
On the heels of my last post, I put up the first song I've ever associated with Bowie in its proper form. It's a nice, sweet little song about longing, and missing. However, I think I like the Metro Mix from Amplitude better. The Metro Mix sounds "emptier" and it places the image in my mind that the singer is really on his own, calling out to this big, empty void. Or maybe I got the Amplitude stuck in my head. Xenu, I can't wait for Rock Band Blitz!
It's amazing how much his voice sounds like Dylan. It was never powerful or aggressive, and going into his back catalog, I can see this sort of wanting tone to everything he sings.
MUSIC VIDEO OF THE WEEK: "The Bad Touch" by The Bloodhound Gang
MONKEYS! SEX! SCREW YOU MOM AND DAD!
Yeah, dipping back into the "song I saw on MTV as a kid and loved, but prayed to God Mom and Dad wouldn't catch me watching it on TRL" well on this one.
One reason rap isn't very popular is because I'd like to believe most people are listening to it "wrong". You can't listen to it like a standard pop song where there's a distinct melody or "tune". When a rapper gets into a good flow, the voice becomes another instrument in itself, like a one note guitar solo.
But this song has monkeys and sex in it and to 11 year old me, it's like I discovered GOLD.

This week: "Fuck sense! And live music too!"
MUSIC VIDEO OF THE WEEK #1: "Legs" by ZZ Top
As explained by friend David: "You see, back when they were making videos in the 80's, they didn't really worry about things like 'making sense'. So people would just like teleport and move shit around and do all these crazy things and it was awesome!"
MUSIC VIDEO OF THE WEEK #2" "IMDABES" by gmcfosho
This video is so deep, and every shot is so dense, it would take me an hour just to explain it to you plebs, but it's about a man paying tribute to his religious beliefs and how it can guarantee you success.
In the beginning we see a sun wearing shades signing, signifying that the artist pays tribute to a higher power, such as God, as the sun begins the song.
With "God" on his side, he is assured that he's "Da Bes" He removed the T, because the artist himself is not the best, but God is. He took of the T to show humility.
The two men sword-fighting represent simple "Good vs. evil" mythology. The kid in the Superman (a traditional "godlike" and "moral" figure) is on the same side as the sun and has the upper hand for most of the fight. He is facing off against an opponent in a black hat, which has often been used to signify evil.

LIVE VIDEO OF THE WEEK: "Tom Sawyer" by Lil Rush
For their 2008 tour, this was the intro video used for Tom Sawyer.
MUSIC VIDEO OF THE WEEK: "Bye Bye Bye" bye N'Sync
Because FUCK YOU TRL.
Back when I was a kid, this was in regular rotation, back when MTV played music. TRL, in order to fit all 10 videos in the allotted time, some had to be cut short. This and "The Call" by The Backstreet Boys had these big, fancy videos with the same story: girl wants revenge. Again, they were cut short, so I never got to see the end. Like with the song itself, I stand disappointed after 12 years.

LIVE VIDEO OF THE WEEK: "Pinball Wizard (and a fair bit of Tommy)" by The Who performed by Tenacouis D at GuitarCenter's Drum-Off 2011
Tenacious D paying tribute to a band they obviously love. Jack Black and Kyle Gass are better singers and guitarists than they get credit for.
MUSIC VIDEO OF THE WEEK: "I Was A Teenage Anarchist" by Against Me!
Like with last week's "Apartment", I love a good mystery in my video, and it drives the point home: "What did that kid do?" Apparently something so horrible, that cops (who are always in the right of course) chase him down and beat him, while the crowd, save for one person, look on.
The video is supposedly all in one take, and I'll buy that. There's no points where you can make a quick cut like OK Go's "This Too Shall Pass". For a song about teenage naivete and maturing into a larger scope of the world, the long take works, as I think it encompasses the aftermath of the protagonist in his one glorious moment after discovering a thing called "anarchy".
Seriously, though? Those cops and that crowd suck.
BONUS VIDEO: "This Gigantic Robot Kills" performed by Natural Failure
This. This is what I love about doing what I do. What really sealed the deal was the guitarist in the Aquabats rashguard. This wasn't a random song, this shit was INTENTIONAL.
Natural Failure, thank you.

HEY! HEY!! I've got a reason to plug myself again!!
LIVE VIDEO OF THE WEEK: "Axe Punk/Axe Cop: The Song" by Rhythm Bastard at I-Con 31
I ROCK OUT TOO HARD!!! This is the other live video I have from I-Con and Xenu damn it this was fun to play with just my friends there.
But some asshole calls me "Eric", which is certainly not my real name.
MUSIC VIDEO OF THE WEEK: "Apartment" by Young The Giant
Hey, remember these guys? Young The Giant?
I saw this music video the other day on MTVU, and my first thought was, "Oh! I'm watching a channel called MTV and there's music on it!"
Then I thought, "Oh! This is the band that covered 'Ignition (Remix)'!"
It's not really my thing, but it was nice video. At first the whole "Wacky Hipsters Having Crazy Spontaneous Fun! (TM)" was going to get me to close the browser, but occasionally it cut to the lead singer lying in the middle of nowhere, and that little mystery was enough to keep me watching.
I'm still on the fence about giving them money, since it might be some good chill music.

Right, LIVE VIDEO OF THE WEEK: Young The Giant covering "Ignition (Remix)" by R. Kelly
Young The Giant covers “Ignition (Remix)”
This song was popular back when I was in high school, and the "freakin' weekend" rhyme gets me the every time. For such an indie band, these guys pulled off a rap song pretty well. The singer's got a nice, smooth voice and the lead guitar is perfect for that R&B feeling.
AV Undercover is defintely an experiment I want to try out myself, and it's introduced me to so many good bands. I'm definitely checking out more from Young The Giant.
MUSIC VIDEO OF THE WEEK: "All My Friends" by LCD Soundsystem
Look. Look at James Murphy's eyes. Look how sad he is.
Hear how desperate he sounds, like he's had the best night of his life and now it totally sucks because he's coming down off that high and he's thinking "How the hell am I going to get back home?" and then he wakes up the next morning and it's Sunday and the only thought on his mind recovering from the hangover at 1 PM (when he woke up) is, "Fuck, I have work tomorrow" and ponders what the hell he's been doing with his life and how his friends have moved on and, let's face it, he doesn't have anyone left at this point as he wonders "Where are my friends tonight?"
I can feel the Bowie.

LIVE VIDEO OF THE WEEK: "Thunderstruck" by AC/DC
It's a legendary riff, and probably the best way to open a set EVER. Also a fun drinking game.
Here's how to play, kids!
1. Grab some friends
2. Grab some beer
3. Put on "Thunderstruck"
4. Take a drink every time Brian Johnson says "Thunder"
5. YAY!!
MUSIC VIDEO OF THE WEEK: "Dancing In The Street" by David Bowie and Mick Jagger
Declared the "gayest music video" by Family Guy, this actually two rock legends not caring and having a good time. I assume this was the "Party Rock Anthem" of the 80's. It seemed like during that era, David Bowie softened up a bit and played more "poppy/dancey" music, as opposed to the days of Ziggy Stardust.
In other words, Family Guy has no idea what it's talking about.

A performance from around the time of Charge!!'s release, which probably my favorite Aquabats album.
MUSIC VIDEO OF THE WEEK: "Calling All Destroyers" by Tsar
Saw the movie "Super" this past weekend. Half In The Bag recommended it, Current Releases panned it, but a friend had a copy, so I figured, why not?
It's not going to be to the liking of many, since it's brutal, funny, and depressing all at the same time. Rainn Wilson is great in this, and it was nice to see Ellen Page play a tremendous psychopath. If you can handle something a little off the beaten path, check it out.

It is a day that will live in infamy: The day I officially unleash "Invisiball" onto an unsuspecting populace.
LIVE VIDEO OF THE WEEK: "Invisiball" by The Rhythm Bastard in The Bunker
This too a few tries to get right, but it worked really well as an acoustic song. "Invisiball" came literally five minutes after my friends asked me to start doing music. The clapping/drum intro comes from the song I was supposed to Swede, "Centerfield" by John Fogerty.
VIDEO CONTAINING MUSIC OF THE WEEK: Dino Hunter MD Episode 4, "Invisiball"
My favorite part is how "Pass The Class" is used just as Derek Maslo says "I feel a montage coming on!"

He and Proxima Control are kicking ass right now, and I’m glad it’s working out so well.

LIVE VIDEO OF THE WEEK: "White Trash" and "Greenback Fly" by Southern Culture On The Skids
I came upon this song (eewww) via the teaser trailer for the movie that may or may not be coming based on The Goon, the state of which is in a "dissappointed limbo" along side Deadpool.
"White Trash" is short, but with a lot of punch. I like the songs where I feel the riffs being slung at me like sloppy joes by a careless cafeteria lady. Hailing from North Carolina, the redneck schtick is legit, and even speaking as a Northerner, I welcome you and your rockabilly-blues-punk wholeheartedly into my Winamp.
MUSIC VIDEO OF THE WEEK: "Satisfied" by Tom Waits
Tom Waits, I will buy your new album with all my money dollars. The video itself isn't much to look at, but it's a really good song, and Waits has always come from a long line of doing not-videos, which will probably be the subject of next Video Of The Week.

Normally I despise Top 40, but this really stood out to me as very intimate song, with a strong, primal beat. Florence and the Machine's "Dog Days Are Over" is similar, but unlike "Rolling", "Dog Days" never really did it for me. I'm not sure why.
I have no fucking clue what's going on in the video, so I won't try to decipher it. There's no real story bring told, but it goes along with the line in the song "But you played it to the beat". The plates cracking on the pane, the rows of water glasses, the drummer, and everything kicking in at just the right time supersede the action itself. What matters is that this all going to the beat.
But seriously, what the fuck is up with the cocaine ninja?
White people.
