for an altarTV, the menzingers took the kickoff track from on the impossible past and hit the stage to perform the daylights out of it. what an anthem. brb, going to listen to the album now.

aloe blacc is one smooth SOB. and with his 2010 album still getting love in the music video department, it makes me wonder if he’s currently working on new stuff, which i’d LOVE right about now.

when does the blogoteque ever put out a subpar product? and when does aloe blacc ever put out a subpar product? thought so.

as far as good ol’ soul music is concerned, i’ve yet to hear an album that’s come out since good things to top it, so why stop with the music videos right? and why not get blogoteque folks to direct it, if not for an added extra layer of “awesome.” i guess dustin cavazos will be happy to find that aloe blacc loves riding bikes too.

speaking of fresh bastards, my personal favorite song from aloe blacc’s stellar good things gets the visual treatment. i would very much so love to learn how to be as awesome as mr. blacc. between the attire and the dance chops, i’m not sure where to begin.

and npr drops another gem. aloe stops by the studio to talk about his coming up, and performs two tracks for you as well.

watching aloe perform is always a treat. below the jump, you can catch an interview he did with the fine folks at okayplayer.

last year’s reach for the sun was a definite guilty pleasure for me. i know what you’re thinking, though. why’s a good pop-rock record a guilty pleasure for you grizz? because i am way too cool to be admitting to liking bands that are labelmates with all time low, that’s why, reader. amazon’s got 1 good thing for you though: a free download of the dangerous summer cut.

posted the first one the other day, and now a video combo of “you make me smile” and “use me” get the blogotheque treatment. i love this shit.

panda was gonna post this later, but i’m an impatient man and this needs to be shared ASAP. takeaway shows from the blogotheque folks is literally one of the best web-series ever created in the history of man. aloe blacc’s renditions of “hey brother” and “i need a dollar” are only furthering support of that statement. and by this video saying ‘part I,’ i’m assuming there’s a part II (maybe even a III!) coming.

aloe blacc and the grand scheme stop by the french television show le grand journal and lay down one of the smoother cuts from good things. the performance and interview that follows start at the 9:00 minute mark. stream the video at the link below.
stream aloe blacc live on le grand journal.

while this video and song’s interpretation of the velvet underground cut are nothing short of awesome, i gotta say there are much better choices for singles on good things. no matter though, as i’m a complainer!
