Nneka - Live on KEXP, 23 Oct 10 (mp3)

Thanks to the internets, there are endless choices of streaming live performances to enjoy, but thanks to the very same internets, the ears can tire from so much noise that sounds so alike. A few months ago, Nneka played an in-studio at KEXP. It stands above the noise.

Glee Cast (Chris Colfer and Darren Criss) - Baby, It's Cold Outside

Don we now....This is sure to keep those cockles warm. It's time to reconsider your "gayest Christmas songs" rankings (also time to update the holiday playlist!).

Girl Talk - This Is The Remix

And so it is.

Gap Band - Humpin'

'Tis Wednesday.

The White Stripes - Devil's Haircut (Beck)(live video)

I wonder what a limited edition two-tone 45 of this would fetch on eBay.



This also exists. There's no video, but who'd have thought...YouTube can actually be good for the imagination.

The UK's Heretics are unsigned, but my spidey-sense tells me they won't be for long.

Klaxons - 9-20-2010 at Bowery Electric, Live Acoustic

I haven't considered how pretty Klaxons' 'Echoes' would sound sonically stripped. Here it is, live, with a few other tunes and interview.

'Surfing the Void,' by the way, holds up all the way through.

Male Bonding explodes, as Male Bonding tends to do.

Morgan Kibby of M83 is White Sea, and she reassures you in this musical dreamscape that it's all just a teen dream. Too bad we're not teens anymore.
