Bad Brains

I heard that Bad Brains was putting out a new album and so I thought I'd do a post about them. Bad Brains was probably the best hardcore band of all time. I condsider them to be as influential as The Clash, Ramones...all the bands that people usually cite. I've played drums in hardcore bands and it's super hard to hit the drums as hard as this guy for an entire show. This is a pretty good clip of them playing "Banned in DC". Check out their myspace for a clip of their new song which is being produced by Adam from the Beatie Boys.

Talking Heads Naive Melody

This is the best Talking Heads song there is. Check out Bernie Worrell from Parliament Funkadelic on synths in the video. Anyways...check this song and this album out.

robert wyatt shipbuilding

Robert Wyatt is amazing...This song was apparently written by Elvis Costello. If you haven't heard of Wyatt he was in the band Soft Machine and Machine Mole (Soft Machine in French). He was paralized when after a night of drinking he jumped out of a third story window. He wrote the soundtrack for the incredible film Winged Migration and did some vocals for the Bjork album Medulla. Other than this song I would highly recommend "At Last I am Free"
