Music Monday – One Take Edition

I am an absolute sucker for one-take media. Movies and music. I'm sure this won't be the last time I do a series of one-take videos. I prefer it when the one-take is real, but sometimes well-hidden cuts are acceptable. Dodie - Cool Girl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dI2eAwHM9uE I just love this song and this video. I really enjoy this style of sort of, "raw dancing" where it's a little messy and unstructured. I also like the sort of, symbolism of Dodie being slightly "off" from the other dancers, it fits with the themes of the lyrics and theme of the song. It…

Nirvana – Unplugged in New York

Nirvana's "Unplugged in New York" album, recorded for MTV's Unplugged show, holds a special place as a fan favorite. Released after Kurt Cobain's passing, the album stands out for its intimate and unconventional "Unplugged" set, featuring electric effects and covers of lesser-known songs. Notable tracks include their rendition of David Bowie's "The Man Who Sold the World," "Lake of Fire" by Meat Puppets (with their participation), and the haunting folk song "Where Did You Sleep Last Night." This album allows Nirvana to showcase a different facet of their music, blending their signature grunge style with a more polished yet raw sound, making it a cherished classic for fans and music enthusiasts alike.

Music Monday – Retro Edition

Let's roll things back this week for some "blast from the past" videos of yesteryear. Or more, yester-decade. The Crystal Method - Born Too Slow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6BEkPzstJQ A song that I started listening to thanks to Need for Speed Underground, a racing game from EA. I liked that game a lot until I didn't because it got super cheap on it's AI at a certain point. At least I think it was NFW UG, i was also playing a lot of Midnight Club around that time, so they kind of blend together. While the track itself, "Born to Slow" actually fits…

Sigrid – Sucker Punch

It's possible, that at some point, I am legally required to talk about this album (not really). I don't listen to a ton of Sigrid currently, though I have not moved on or anything, there is just so much other I want to listen to. I also probably burned myself out on Sigrid listening to her TOO MUCH. Her album, Sucker Punch still has a special place. I've always been into music, but I've never really been, ACTIVELY into music. I'm not any level of "hardcore" or anything, but there was kind of a perfect storm moment around me discovering…

Music Monday – Science-ish Edition

Let's see how long I can manage to keep up a vague theme for these posts. This week I wanted to throw out some videos with some fancy "science-y" themes. I use that in the vaguest since, because at least one is kind of a stretch but it's certainly nice to look at. Also, it's a bit "Music Monday-ish" as well, since it's Tuesday, because yesterday I posted about the Alanis Morrisette Concert. (Unless for some reason I didn't go and forgot to remove that line, wait, now I need to remove this line if it does happen....) Lusine -…
