In my opinion this is the best version of the best Thin Lizzy song ever recorded. The Live and Dangerous version has a lot more energy than the Jailbreak version. The solo/instrumental parts at the end of this song are not to be missed. Nor are the outfits or the guitar player smoking a cig while wailing on some riffage. Phil Lynott in top form.

Matisyahu became famous a couple years ago, most of the buzz was due to the novelty of there being a Hasidic reggae singer. I think his music speaks for itself and shows that he is more than just a gimmick. This live version of ‘King Without a Crown’ from the ‘Live at Stubb’s’ album is probably his biggest hit; I think it sounds better than either of the recorded versions on his two studio albums, ‘Shake Off The Dust . . . Arise’ and ‘Youth’. Notice the stage dives during the solo, which apparently he can’t do anymore because the Rabbis told him that he runs the risk of being touched by unmarried or menstruating women . . . Isn’t old time religion grand?

Back in the early 90s when punk became marketable thanks to bands like Green Day and the Offspring, a lot of other, less accessible bands tried to get in on the action, including New York Hardcore veterans Sick Of It All. They put out a record, Scratch The Surface, on a major label (EastWest, a subsidiary of Warner Brothers) and had a video on MTV, but they refused to compromise their sound and never became a commercially successful band. Nonetheless this video has become something of a cult favorite among hardcore punk enthusiasts; Step Down is one of their most popular songs and quite frankly this video is just tons of fun to watch.

I figured throwing some rap in here was long overdue; Cannibal Ox was something of an East Coast hip-hop supergroup featuring Vast Aire and Vordul Mega (of Atoms Family) and produced by El-P. They put out one album, ‘The Cold Vein’ in 2001 and since it has gone down as a classic. Their sound is sort of indicative of the New York underground sound; there is a lot of influence on the beats and not really any hooks or choruses on the album. I think what makes their record really stand out is the production. I was never really a fan of LP as an emcee so I was pretty surprised to find out he made the beats for this album, it has a very strange and original sound, this record sounds like it is from outer space. Painkillers is a great example of this.
Honestly, I don’t really know anything about this band. Seems to be some sort of gimmick group pairing white-people-dance-music with little kid singers, but regardless the video is awesome. Once the 10-year old hipsters enter the party things get wild. I’ll let the video speak for itself.
