The Four Seasons: “December, 1963 (Oh, What A Night)” (Video)

It is my understanding that The four Season’s switch to disco-ey tunes was generally frowned upon. That is a shame.

Videos from Histoire De Melody Nelson

Right after buying Histoire De Melody Nelson I saw that soul sides posted these videos from the album. Nice coincidence:


Top 10 NBA Facial Dunks of 2007

I just went to YouTube to be greeted by this:


Oooo I love their choice for #1. Lebron at #2 is incredible too. This was technically 2007, but probably missed the editing deadline, and I think should be included:

Albums I Bought in The Past Two Days

At Silver Platters or Amazon Mp3:

1. Elton John: Tumbleweed Connection - Bought on a whim as a result of this post. The cashier (who was kind of like Doc mixed with Elvis Costello) was pleased though, so I expect it won’t let down.
2. Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons: The Definitive Pop Collection - This [...]

Beach House: “Gila” and “D.A.R.L.I.N.G”

Everyone is posting this for good reason. Absolutely beautiful - the vocals harmonies in the background roll over you like a acoustic tidal wave.

Cool Bikes in the Snow

Here is some video of some peeps playing around on fixies in the snow. I just broke my wrist on my bike, but I still wanna get back out there and do stuff like this. Someday (via TR).
