Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Heads Will Roll
How did one song spawn an awesome video and a couple of crazy remixes? Yeah Yeah Yeahs' Heads will Roll is already an infectious song to race to, but Little Vampire's remix of the track is featured on the soundtrack to Gran Turismo 5. Personally I would have gone with the Tiesto remix but they are both good and lucky you, you don't have to choose. Check out the original video below along with the tiesto and Little Vampire remixes under that.

Bass Thumpin Thursdays - Gorillaz on Deck
You can look long and you can look far, but you still may not be able to find a group as inspired and original as The Gorillaz. Started as a musical project in 1998 by Damon Albarn (The lead singer and songwriter of Blur) and cartoonist Jamie Hewlett, co-creator of the comic book Tank Girl, The Gorillaz were conceived while the two were living together in London.
Hewlett: We were flatmates. One day, we were home watching MTV with our eyes just kind of glazed. Because if you watch MTV for too long, it's a bit like hell - there's nothing of substance there. So we got this idea for a cartoon band, something that would be a comment on that.
Albarn: We're the generation whose stars come from Pop Idol and celebrity-wrestling shows. And it's all a bit like a cartoon, really.The result was a Virtual Band that lived in a fantasy world filled with wonder, amazement, and beauty and an eclectic sound that incorporates a diverse selection of styles, as well as artists, into their music. The formula has proved successful, selling millions of records worldwide and solidifying The Gorillaz as a headlining act and one of the most inspiring groups to ever make music videos.

The Black Keys - Tighten Up
Well, November has come and gone and that's something to be thankful for. I've never really had a particularly awesome Thanksgiving (or November for that matter) and this years was no exception. In that regard, and after a month of no posts, I'd like to bring you a video that has inspired me with it's message: The Black Keys - Tighten Up.

Bass Thumpin Thursdays - Weezer's Greatest Hits
In lieu of the traditional Bass Thumping Thursday consisting of select videos from various artists, today I thought it would be nice to show you a couple of videos by the same artist. Namely Weezer. While Weezer's albums have been hit-or-miss the last couple years, One thing that has always stayed consistent is their love for the expressive medium that is the music video. Through Happy Days references to cameos by Hugh Hefner and the Muppets, Weezer definitely knows how to stand out above the rest and without further adieu: Weezer.

The White Stripes - Under the Great Nothern Lights
In the summer of 2007, shortly after the release of their 6th album Icky Thump, The White Stripes headed north of their hometown of Detroit to embark on an ambitious journey across Canada. The plan was to play a show in every province and territory in Canada, from B.C. to Newfoundland to Nunavut.
Having never done a tour of Canada, Meg and I thought it was high time to go whole hog…from the ocean to the permafrost
We wanted to play out of the way towns that don’t usually get shows…the shows are better, it’s better for the people, it’s a better experience, it’s way more unique, something interesting is going to happen…hopefully.
-Jack White
Check out some clips from the documentary and be sure to pick up the DVD
. It's amazing.

Bass Thumpin' Thursdays
Well it's Thursday, so you know what that means: A brand new Futurama. Also Bass Thumpin' Thursdays. Speaking of Futurama, A song caught my attention during the movie"Bender's Game", titled Rocketship by Kathy McAarty. The first 20 seconds or so are pure sample fodder, and just begging for a remix. The rest? Well... I'll let you be the judge. Also, Check out what the thieving, gambling, chain-smoking, whore-mongering, alcoholic robot Bender has to say about piracy.
Next up is a song that isn't so new but takes me back to one of my very first live concerts: Foo Fighters' "Monkey Wrench". The Foo Fighters have been in my rotation for almost 15 years and still keep pumping out hits, but it was their break away single (and the accompanying video) that first made me take notice of their prowess. Check out the video and see if you can name one of their other songs playing in the elevator. The Answer is below the video.
Answer: Big Me
Finally is a video from 90's punk-revival band Rancid, titled "Ruby Soho". Again this takes me back to one one of my first concerts (Actually, the same concert). The line up was Foo Fighters, Transplants, and, a band I haven't heard of since: Cave In. Tonotopik know what I'm talking about. Anyway, Rancid has had a cult following since it's inception in 1991 and though group members Tim Armstrong and Matt Freeman have been involved in other punk projects including Operation Ivy and The Transplants, They remain the two core members of Rancid to this day, despite a couple of shake-ups in their line-up.

Eminem & The Roots - Won't Back Down (Live On Jimmy Fallon)
Damn. Em killed it on stage with The Roots
. Mr. Porter served back up vocals and The Alchemist added his pinch of flavor on the turntables. Eminem gave it 110% and looked completely out of breath at the end.

James Morrison Covers The Roots' Seed 2.0
James Morrison, most famous for soft-spoken British rock and frequent collaborations with Nelly Furtado, covers The Roots' "Seed 2.0" It's a pretty good cover and I love the unique spin he puts on the jam.

The Roots - How I Got Over
You may know the roots as the house band for Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, but long before they set up stage in 30 Rock
(30 Rockefeller Center in New York City) The Roots have held it down as one of the best live acts of the past 20 years. Black Thought's impeccable rhyming accompanied by ?uestlove's funky drumming
has garnered them a place in not just hip-hop history, but music history as a whole. My first exposure to them was with the single "Seed 2.0" from their awesome 2002 album Phrenology
, and with that one hit, I was addicted for life. Check out their new video "How I Got Over" from the upcoming album of the same name below, "The Seed 2.0", and the original song that inspired it, Cody ChesnuTT's "Seed
"
. Be warned: The Roots are a gateway drug that may lead to more good music.
