Rock band Seether usually do a pretty good job with the creativity in their music videos, and this brand new Commodore-64 inspired video has that same cleverness to it, but I get the awkward feeling this music video is meant for a very different song. It feels quite contrived and the two just don’t quite gel together. Either way, have a look and make up your own mind.

My latest musical discovery, which I’m quite happy to brag about, is the “NPR: Live Concerts from All Songs Considered Podcast“, from which I’m hurriedly downloading a couple episodes as fast as possible. I’m a real sucker for live performances and getting a true indication of an artist’s ability, which is why this is so awesome.
There’s a lot of great free stuff in this and a couple of NPR’s other podcasts – this one has live recordings from SXSW 2009, including The Decemberists pulling off their first live performance of their new record, The Hazards of Love, and SA boys BLK JKS giving their first appearance at the festival. Other stuff in the podcast includes Rilo Kiley, Jenny Lewis, Radiohead, Wilco, DeVotchka, She&Him and even Tom Waits, so it’s definitely worth checking out.
If you’re impatient for all the content to end up in the podcast, head over directly to the corresponding NPR: Live Concerts from All Songs Considered website, where you’ll find even more great stuff, including Kings of Leon, Regina Spektor, Arcade Fire and Death Cab for Cutie.
It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas!
And the Christmas bonus is the NPR: All Songs Considered Podcast (yes, I know they kinda sound the same, but all these links actually go to different content). On this show you’ll get a regular chance to hear a further variety of damn good music.
So who said radio is dead? NPR shines at it leads the way forward.
[Thanks for the inspiration, Wendy!]
Grab yourself a taste of Norwegian all-girl hottie rock band Cocktail Slippers – a little something to rev up the weekend mood. Enjoy.

No streaming in South Africa.
DRM crippled songs do not play on iPods. Er, hello? Are you hearing this? Are you complete and utter morons?
The “Store-front” is not compatible with alternative operating systems and browsers.
You’re almost as bad as than Pick ‘n Play.
You online music stores never learn.
And there’s always the Analog Hole, which cannot be plugged.
Nokia Music Store, congratulations, you too have blown your chance to open up online music in South Africa.
I’ll get my tunes from RhythmRecords, ThePirateBay or even Watkykjy.
Now, Nokia execs (that includes you, Mr Jake Larsen), go read this study. Here’s the gist of it:
“online music bootleggers are much more likely to pay for music online than those who don’t steal music.”
It’s simple: Give us a reasonable record store that gives us the music in a format that works for us, and you’ll make your money. And yes, FUCK the record labels. The record companies don’t know shit about the modern music business.
Jislaaik, why do you guys make me so angry? Bloody hell.
This post is probably the worst Oppikoppi review ever written – it’s merely a collection of fragments from the weekend, as recovered from my phone, and vague memories.
Needless to say, my phone’s battery didn’t get much further, and at this stage I instead went in search of more interesting activities at the top bar. On the whole this was probably one of the poorer line-ups I’ve seen at koppi, but that still didn’t take anything away from the party.
