video: the walkmen – holiday road [lindsey buckingham cover] (2010)

30 11 2010

it’s back! and this time, with a holiday theme! proving once again that they are adept at revitalizing dusty old classics, the walkmen once more, swung by the av club studios’ “undercover series” to perform the holiday-themed “holiday road,” an immortal classic by fleetwood mac’s lindsey buckinham, but probably best remembered for those crazy griswolds in the national lampoon’s vacation movies. you can check out the performance at the link below.

video: t.i. – rubber band man [vh1 storytellers] (2010)

30 11 2010

vh1 storytellers really does bring out the best in everyone’s performance. i can’t say there’s a single episode of this series where i wasn’t compelled by snippets and previews to watch the whole thing. recent favorites from jay’s american gangster themed episode to kanye’s pink-shirt-bowtie-808s episode have respectively become some of my favorite live performances. when i found out tip would be performing with a live band in tow, my interests were definitely piqued. here we have one of his most hood singles to date getting the classy touches being put all over it.

full episode airs december 10th, a mere 3 days after his record drops.

video: bruno mars – grenade [acoustic; billboard tastemakers] (2010)

30 11 2010

this is old as shit, but i completely missed it. i heard a streaming mp3 (still looking for a download of it) earlier and found it was from this billboard session, which we completely missed back in the early weeks of this month. bruno sounds great on this, though.

edit: finding the download only took me a few minutes. i’m thrifty like that.

video: kid cudi – revofev [live on conan] (2010)

30 11 2010

even though this song is terrible, i gotta say that it sounds so much better performed with a live band. and judging by the critical response to MOTM II, i can’t help but feel i’m missing something. my fellow bloggers, family members and friends for the most part hate it, but it’s garnering an average to positive response everywhere else. oh well, fuck it. i still don’t like it.

video: andre johnson murks cortland finnegan (2010)

28 11 2010

this is literally one of the greatest things i’ve ever seen in the history of the texans’ franchise. finnegan, being the biggest jersey-shore-lookin bitch in the nfl, pulls some pussy move and manages to get the most calm, anti-shit talking WR in the nfl to hit him three times in the head. and still manages to wink at him.

well-played, ocho-zero. it’s rough that you’ll probably be suspended for a game, though.

b.o.b. – fuck the money [remix; f. wiz khalifa] (2010)

28 11 2010

i like the original with asher way better. first off, the fact that the two switched off every four bars is what made this song so great. instead, they lumped all of bobby’s bars together and then tacked on a wiz verse at the end. it’s whatevs, though — beat’s still fantastic.
