Pete's Music Thing of The Week - 10/26/11

This week will be a longer than normal edition.  Mostly because I was on a roll of finding awesome videos on Youtube...

I've had a few songs in my head recently...just so happens they are both girly songs.  Wanna fight about it?

And here is an alternate version of what could be one of the greatest songs ever written...

Now, I'll start trying to "man" up this post...one bad ass video at a time... Click below to read the rest of this weeks post

Epic.

Pete's Music Thing of the Week - 10-12-11

Missed last week, so I'll try and post some extra special finds this week.

Here are a few more amazing live performance videos I have come accross...

1,2,3. Mos Def and Talib Kwali... Audio not 100%, but still its pretty bad ass...

And now here is a few jams from Brian Fallon:

Here is an oldie but a goodie...I believe that this is from before even "The '59 Soud" came out...

Here we have guitar legend Jeff Beck performing his version of "A Day In The Life."  Just plain wonderful...

Now, Enjoy the magical voice of sir William Elliot Whitmore.



I just stumbled accross this great Tim Barry music video from last year:

And in conclusion:

Pete's Music Thing of The Week 9-30-11

Apparently Frank Turner spends alot of time recording random cover songs while in the studio or playing live.  I think it's safe to say that the world is a better place as a result...

But how can I talk about Frank Turner without posting at least one of his original songs...this is one of the best videos I have ever seen, for one of the best songs by one of the best artists out there.  Yeah, I kind of dig Mr. Turner...

Pete's Music Thing of the Week 9-20-11 (Part 2)

Yeah, so I couldn't stop looking up Bad Religion stuff:

Freaking Awesome.

Pete's Music Thing of the Week 9-20-11

A random Bad Religion search on You Tube yielded this strange chick and her collection of acoustic covers.  All in all its pretty awesome.  I posted my favorite 2 below:

Which led me to a few acoustic tracks from Mr. Graffin himself:

And now this one with Professor Graffin dropping some knowledge:



And finally, some overall "bad ass-ness" from The Almighty Bad Religion:

And thus concludes the first new edition of Pete's Music Thing of the Week.   Apparently this feature is going to simply be me finding cool you tube videos of bands I like.  Ain't nothin wrong with that

Pete's Music Thing of the Week - 7/6/11

Yeah, so it's not really music related but its freakin hysterical.  Dude in the 3rd video is killing on guitar, and really dedicated an unreasonable amount of time to his song.  We salute you sir.

Watch videos in order:

Pete's Music Thing of the Week 6-29-11

The newly remastered Crass catalog, dubbed the "Crassical Collection" has caused me to revisit some of my favorite records of all time.  The remastering on these releases is unbelievable.  It sounds like The Feeding of the 5000 was recorded last week, as opposed to several decades ago.  I thought myself to be somewhat of a Crass expert, having been a fan for so many years and gobbling up anything I could about the band (and even getting the Crass logo as my 1st tattoo on my 18th birthday)  but I came accross this documentary called "There is No Authority But Yourself" which is the definitive source of information about the band, because it is told by Steve and Penny themselves.  Quite possibly the best music documentary I have evr seen.

Music Thing of the Week!

I have so many things that I want to write about but lack the focus and structure to properly review the records that I want to.  So now that we are halfway through the year and I haven't posted anything I will start posting at least one thing a week.  It could be a review, it could be an awesome release date, concert footage, or anything music related.  Get Ready!

*Update* 7-1-11 - So my blogspot sight went down again.  Nevermind about the weekly updates.

*MUCH MORE ROCKING UPDATE* 9-20-11 - It appears that all bugs have been repaired and the site is back up and running.  I'm not going to go through and fix my previous posts, but I will try and repost as many of my "Music Things of the Week" that are saved in the drafts folder of my blog account.

ENJOY
