The Dude’s High 5s: 1 Hit Wonders

November 21st, 2012 by The Dude

What the hell? Is it time for another musical High 5? I hate these things. Oh well, nothing to do but dive into it. Half of the songs that I love are pretty much 1 hit wonders. While these bands may have other good songs, they really only had one hit. So please spare me the defensive arguments if I touch a nerve. I understand, I too love the Sundays, Letters to Cleo, Better than Ezra, Cake, Chumbawumba, The Verve, Harvey Danger, The Toadies, Deep Blue Something, Fine Young Cannibals, Space Hog, and so on … ok, maybe not so much on the Chumbawuba. So without further adieu, may favorite 1 Hit Wonders.

Now Listening: PSY – GANGNAM STYLE [This video is madness.]

August 15th, 2012 by Caffeine Powered

This video has melted my mind. It has forced me to evolved, and for that I am better off. I know it is probably like tots old for the 4chan and tumblr wizards out there, but I’m just getting my first taste. It is the wonder.

Now Listening: Devin Townsend Project – ‘Effervescent’ (Epicloud Teaser)

August 1st, 2012 by Caffeine Powered

The Brothers Omega have not been strangers in espousing their love for Devin Townsend and his myriad styles. Since Rendar pointed me towards this teaser for Hevy Devy’s latest album, I’ve been riffing on it nonstop. Pop metal that shall strike like a lightning-bolt set of stairs taking you to Valhalla.

Now Listening: El-P – “The Full Retard”

June 17th, 2012 by Caffeine Powered

I’m only posting about El-P’s song “The Full Retard” to rub up on the entire album that it’s from, Cancer4Cure. Woah baby. I’ve always been a fan of El-P’s production credits on shiz for heroes of mine like Aesop Rock, but with this album he has vaulted directly into my soul. Don’t let the obvious choice for single choose you, the album has some spine to it. It’s a depressingly dystopian middle finger to the sprawling police state, drug usage, and does all this while asking asking and then answering the question, “What’s worth dying for?”

I’m in love.

Now Listening: Every Time I Die – “Revival Mode”

February 26th, 2012 by Caffeine Powered

I’m pretty fucking stoked for Ex Lives, the upcoming album by Every Time I Die. They’ve dropped a new video for the song Revival Mode  and while I wholeheartedly think its a (departing from their regular swag) jam, the video is creepy enough to entertain me regardless.

Hit the jump to check it out.

Now Listening: Hodgy, Domo Genesis And Tyler, The Creator – Rella

February 21st, 2012 by Caffeine Powered

New OFWGKTA in the house! As ever, I’m torn. Their genuine insanity, ingenuity, and do-it-yourself monstrosities blow me away. At the same time, they’re so overtly (even if they’re the worst thing of all, ‘only kidding’) sexist and homophobic that I have to cringe through my grins.

Hit the jump to check out their new video. It’s fucking insane.
