The Smiths - There Is a Light That Never Goes Out

This song reminds me of summertime, and youth, and fireworks.

Thomas Dolby - One Of Our Submarines (live)

Marc Almond - Jacky

This song is, in large part, responsible for my marriage.

Clash - I'm So Bored With the USA/Train In Vain (Live)

Rainmakers - Small Circles

One of the best descriptions of young love I've ever heard, from a VASTLY underrated band.

Boomtown Rats - I Don't Like Mondays

Could We Start Again Please - from Jesus Christ Superstar

Compare and contrast: The first one is from the 1973 movie, the 2nd is from the 2000 stage production. Which one's better?

Oingo Boingo - Little Girls

I have nothing to say about this video that it doesn't say itself.

Jack Lukeman - Ode to Ed Wood

Cake - I will Survive

One of the coolest covers EVAH.

Osaka Popstar - Wicked World

This is the official video for the song. I mention that because it kind of just looks like a homemade anime music video, but, really, it's not.

The Jam - Going Underground

The braying sheep on my TV screen
Make this boy shout, make this boy scream!

Elvis Costello & Fiona Apple - I Want You (live)

Placebo - Running Up That Hill (Live)

While looking up Rollins Band vids for that last one, I came across this. I adore Placebo, of course, and saw them live recently here in Salt Lake. They ended the show with this Kate Bush cover (probably the first of her songs I heard, or at least, recognized), just the heartbeat sound going for about 5 minutes after everything else went silent. Fantastic.

Rollins Band - Tearing (Live)

I don't think it can be mentioned too often - Rollins is the man.

David Bowie & Cher - Medley

Proof positive that even the great David Bowie isn't infallible.

And, by the way - WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT ON CHER'S HEAD?

Dire Straights (feat Eric Clapton) - Sultans of Swing (live)
