Daniel Fincke Lykke Li Unplugged
April 21st, 2011 Daniel Fincke An entire, terrific MTV Unplugged concert of Lykke Li can be seen here. I am getting the impression she’s on the cusp of mainstream stardom (only 2 years too late). Your Thoughts?
Daily Hilarity: “Intervention” By Tegan & Sara & Margaret
January 3rd, 2011 Daniel Fincke I had never found Margaret Cho remotely funny before but I love Tegan & Sara just way too much not to find this video incredibly awesome: Margaret Cho – Intervention – featuring Tegan and Sara from Margaret Cho on Vimeo. Your Thoughts?

1 Comment »The Band Tool And The Fibonacci Sequence
June 7th, 2010 Daniel Fincke Apparently math explains the Tool song, “Lateralus”: And apparently even the powers of math cannot make me like a Tool song. I couldn’t even finish it. Thanks to Victoria for the link. Your Thoughts?

June 5th, 2010 Daniel Fincke It’s a shame the girl doesn’t appear to be having any fun (or maybe she’s just really good at staying in character?). The boys seem to be having a blast. Your Thoughts?
English As A Foreign Language
June 1st, 2010 Daniel Fincke They say this song composed of gibberish words was written as a demonstration of what English sounds like to those who do not understand it. I’ve tried to get a sense for what English sounds like by listening to my TV from the other side of my apartment where I couldn’t quite make out the [...]

May 27th, 2010 Daniel Fincke The pretty hilarious lyrics make up for the pretty painful singing and rapping: Thanks to Robert for the find! Your Thoughts?

May 23rd, 2010 Daniel Fincke The girls are back with a very special spoilerific NSFW song for this special night: Their hilarious album is Music Songs. Your Thoughts?
Daily Hilarity: “Any Type Of Hug Is A Gateway Hug”
May 19th, 2010 Daniel Fincke As we already learned previously, young Evangelical Christians are just mad crazy about the side hug: (Thanks to Chris!) More stuff evangelicals like. (Hint, premarital kissing is not one of them.) Your Thoughts?

April 8th, 2010 Daniel Fincke Johann Hari argues that London should do just that. The interesting discussion in which he makes this case takes place in the entire first video and the beginning of the second video: Your Thoughts?

April 6th, 2010 Daniel Fincke Your Thoughts?
Posted in Indie Music, Indie Rock, Music, Music Videos, Videos Tags: "Let's Head Out", Figurines No Comments »277. Justin Timberlake
March 31st, 2010 Daniel Fincke I loved this song, mostly for the syncopated mmm mmm’s at the end of it even before I was stunned to found out that even the folks at Pitchfork dig Justin Timberlake (making him not only acceptable to like by people of taste but mandatory). Your Thoughts?
278. Meat Loaf
March 30th, 2010 Daniel Fincke Songs don’t come any more melodramatically ridiculous than Meat Loaf’s. But in my humble opinion, you’d have to be utterly humorless not to love at least a few of his songs. And I do, wholeheartedly and unabashedly: Your Thoughts?
279. Live
March 29th, 2010 Daniel Fincke Live makes the list this high for writing two of my all time 100 favorite songs, which both happen to be my favorite “anti-religion” songs, if you’ll allow me to be so reductionary for a moment in characterizing songs’ meanings: Your Thoughts?

March 28th, 2010 Daniel Fincke I was instantly drawn to their sublime and gorgeous meditation on Darwin, “Charlie Darwin” with its beautiful video and have enjoyed the album a great deal: Here’s what they sound like in one of the rare cases in which they rock out: And more sublime meditative stuff: Your Thoughts?
281. Soundgarden
March 27th, 2010 Daniel Fincke “Black Hole Sun” will always be an all time favorite song and video. ”My Wave” is no slouch either: Your Thoughts?
282. Rollins Band/Black Flag
March 26th, 2010 Daniel Fincke Black Flag’s Damaged is some of the messiest screwiest punk around and one of Nirvana’s greatest ancestors and influences. Rollins Band’s album Weight is filled with what amounts to cheesy inspirational rants for weight lifters. I love ‘em both. But there’s one song that ranks the work of Henry Rollins as high on the list [...]

March 25th, 2010 Daniel Fincke It’s a shame they only have three songs that interest me at all. But those three songs get my blood flowing like few others by anyone ever have or ever will. These are the kinds of special songs I save for special occasions: Your Thoughts?

March 24th, 2010 Daniel Fincke She’s really inconsistent but at her best she’s one of the best: Your Thoughts?

March 23rd, 2010 Daniel Fincke I love half of their debut album, filled as it is with utterly joyous upbeat sugary retro-’80s-style pop with perfect duets. The other half always bored me but I never tire of their best five songs. Your Thoughts?
286. Bill Withers
March 22nd, 2010 Daniel Fincke “Lean On Me”? ”Use Me”? ”Ain’t No Sunshine”? ”Harlem”? One of R&B’s most passionate and convincing lyricists and vocalists.

March 19th, 2010 Daniel Fincke For a long time, to my discredit, I naively thought that Nirvana were either a singular phenomenon or a band whose closest cousin was Pearl Jam. Only when I started really listening to music did I realize what different musical universes Nirvana and Pearl Jam really existed in. And coming to this realization took some [...]

March 18th, 2010 Daniel Fincke Dreamy lethargic ’90s grunge pop with a great female lead singer in Mary Lorson. What’s not to love? Your Thoughts?
