Pink Floyd - "The Great Gig in the Sky"

Pink Floyd got me through my senior year of college, and no, I am not in my forties. I really started to get into music while I was finishing up my degree at the University of Minnesota. Almost daily I would make a journey to the used CD and record store. There, I happened across a $3 Dark Side of the Moon CD. I would blast it in my 1999 Lipstick Red Pontiac Grand Am as I drove to and from my research lab. Even though it was 33 years after it was released, I really enjoyed discovering the music, especially the "Great Gig in the Sky".

Someone asked me once why I don't really post negative reviews, it has to do with part of my name. The DIY part. We are all our own DJs deciding what music to listen to and what to reject. I've come to enjoy a wide variety from Ini Kamoze to Daft Punk to Godspeed You Black Emperor! to AC/DC to Lady Gaga. The important thing is to know what you like. So I present what I like.

Enjoy Pink Floyd!

Cults - Abducted

A great showing by the Manhattan based Cults with their 2011 self titled Cults. Score another success for Lily Allen's new label.

This is making me feel old...

JUSTICE - Civilization

Due to travels, I nearly missed this video. I've mentioned Justivce before with the song "D.A.N.C.E." off of the 2007 album Cross. However, I realized I neglected the equally impressive "Stress" presented below. However, the video matches the sound of Justice's recent 2011 outing in Civilization (also, they already sold out to Adidas...). It pits a herd of buffalo against the falling symbolic statues of mankind. Symbolism? Anyways, enjoy. I know I will when I am running.

Sia - Academia

Enjoy this typographic ode to Sia's "Academia." Very St. Vincent-esque.

Cold Mailman - "Time is of the Essence"

Okay, time is all off at the moment. Enjoy Cold Mailman's "Time is of the Essence" whilst I get my barrings. Seriously. Like serious.

Battles - Ice Cream

Ouch. Massive travel. Much like an Ice Cream headache inducted nightmare. Enjoy Battles "Ice Cream". I'm going to go to sleep. For a couple of days.
