Speedy Like Gonzales

It's amazing what you used to be able to accomplish with a unitard and green screen.

de la soul throwback

I'm really into this jam. This takes me back. I was just watching Beyonce's "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)" for, like, the millionth time when I thought to check out this video. By the way, that Beyonce video is FIERCE. I'm serious. I watch it several times a day so I can memorize the moves. Fortunately, most people in my life understand this and support it. If I looked that good in a one-sleeve leotard with high heels and a pompadour, I would dance down South Congress with my cyborg hand. BACK ON TOPIC.

I needed some quality De La Soul in my life. How good is this video? I can't get this song out of my head. So fly! I can't get over that chalkboard with the instructions for THE STANCE. Amazing.

Alice Dance Groove

Possibly tight? A South African fellow named Nick made this mix, saying that 90% of the sounds are captured from Disney's Alice In Wonderland. Seems like a lot of work, and the video is kind of tight.

Sounds kind of like a Bjork b-side, but I kinda likes it for what it is. byebye

Warm Up Those Pipes

You guys. How could we forget the music teachings of Guy Monroe? I think it's really important for us to revisit this.





Apparently, he is also a corporate trainer and runs EndingShyness.com

I guess I know what we're giving Sissy for her birthday!!!11!!!

MacGruber

I only thought it appropriate to post the video that only added fuel to the fire, making "is this tight?" part of our daily vocabulary. You will find it in the second of these three MacGruber episodes.

OH HAI

SLEEPY CAT CONDUCTOR IS HARD AT WORK, MAKING A SYMPHONY FOR YOU

Throat Singing

I'm not sure if you guys have heard of this, but throat singing is an ancient tradition in which singers are able to vocalize 2 to 4 notes simultaneously.

Check out this guy doing a little sample of Mongolian throat singing.



Inuit throat singing is a different form, done by women to put their babies to sleep. I wonder if this would make me sleepy. I think if my mom started doing this, I'd think she needs an inhaler. Most of the time, two women are involved in a competitive way, seeing who will become exhausted first.



I think Common + posthumous J Dilla could remix those ladies and make a good back beat.

Here's Kongar-ol Ondar performing the Tuvan form of throat singing on Dave Letterman's show. He's the jolliest bastard I've ever seen. I want to party with this guy, but I have a feeling he could drink me under the table.

Baby Daddy

Sorry you guys, because if you haven't noticed by now, Anna and I have been spending a lot of time on YouTube lately. TOO BAD FOR YOU.

Anyway, my new favorite activity is looking up "You're not the father" clips from Maury Povich via YouTube. These are the best:





Big props to the second clip for the Curtis Mayfield send up.

Shout Outz To Bucho

Here's a Guitar Hero version of Weezer's new single, Pork and Beans. I have no idea why I'm posting this, other than the obvious love for Guitar Hero that we share. This song takes me back to another time, aka 2k1.

New FotC Video

I can only hope the guys were taking inspiration from George Benson. A total baller when it comes to rollerskating while guitar playing.

No Country For Gay Men

my heroine

Sharon Jones is the hottest goddess on the planet. I'm serious about this. She is amazing. I have multiple videos and pictures to prove this. She is one of the best live shows I've ever seen. She is returning to Austin on June 4th at Stubb's. Who wants to get sweaty with me? It would be totally tight. I'll be front row dancing it out. Here is a new video for the song "Tell Me" off Sharon Jones and the Dap King's latest album, 100 Days, 100 Nights. So tight.

Tight Video of the Day: I Got A Man

Positive K took an average argument you'd hear on 6th Street at 2 a.m. and turned it into a hit song. That's the reason it's the tight video of the day.



Favorite thing? The chick holding those 4 lb. weights while yelling "I GOT A MAN" in that dudes face. Also, they commit a top ten offense of the early 90's: Intense, ill fitting power suits.
