I've got nothing better to do right now.

I've never been a fan of YouTube.  As far as I'm concerned, over 99% of the videos on the site are garbage.  (Do I really want to see a grainy video of your puppy sneezing?  No!  I'm sure he's a cute puppy, but he doesn't interest me at all.)  Fortunately, there are some great music videos hidden in amongst the junk.  I found a few of them recently and thought I'd post them here.  Why?  I've got nothing better to do right now.

"Blue" is my third favorite song ever, and I had no idea the Jayhawks made a video for it.  It's not one of the best videos I've seen, but it's still fun to see the band looking so young and innocent.

     

I bought Jilted John's True Love Stories a couple years ago after hearing the single "Jilted John".  It's one of those rare songs I can listen to over and over and over again.  Here's Jilted John singing the song on Top of the Pops.  I wonder whatever happened to that announcer.        

You wouldn't think a bunch of American Apparel models without any musical talent would be able to make a song I like, but CSS did exactly that.  I ripped this song off Pitchfork last year and it's been disintegrating part of my brain ever since.  It makes me want to bust out moves I don't actually have.

Oh, Annie, I still regret the night I went to a Pearl Jam concert instead of going to your show.  Had I seen your video before that night, I would've certainly skipped Pearl Jam. 

Luke told me about "The Past is a Grotesque Animal" over the summer, and it quickly became one of my favorite songs of the year.  The LP version is much better than this acoustic one, but I like this one anyway.  You can't dance to it, but it's easier to understand the lyrics.
