I kept seeing this video posted around Facebook and finally got curious enough to click on it. Glad I did! Nicki Bluhm & The Gramblers are on tour right now and it seems they have come up with a pretty simple, but innovative idea to promote themselves while on the road. They have periodically been recording covers of tunes from other artists while they are driving in their van and they have been posting them around the internet as their “Van Sessions.” Check out this video of them covering Hall & Oates‘, “I Can’t Go For That.” For this and other videos by Nicki Bluhm & The Gramblers check out their YouTube channel, here. Good stuff!

Skrillex – “Bangarang” & “First of the Year (Equinox)”
Posted: March 8, 2012 in VideosTags: Bangarang, Dubstep, Equinox, First of the Year, First of the Year (Equinox), From First To Last, Grammy Awards, Grammys, Skrillex, Sonny Moore, Video
I think the best way to put it is that I have been having “fun” with Skrillex this past year and his introduction to Dubstep for the mass audience. If you don’t know who Skrillex is, it is Sonny Moore from the band, From First To Last, and he just had a huge year in 2011 and is currently enjoying an even bigger one now after winning three Grammys.
I have been enjoying all of his stuff lately, but have recently just started checking out his videos. I hope you enjoy his stuff as much as I do. Have fun!
Johnny Cash – “Hurt”
Posted: March 7, 2012 in VideosTags: CMA, CMA Awards, entertainment, Grammy Awards, Hurt, Johnny Cash, Mark Romanek, music, Nine Inch Nails, NME, Trent Reznor, video of the year, videos
Originally written by Trent Reznor and performed by Nine Inch Nails (see their live version, here), Hurt turned into such an iconic video for Johnny Cash in 2002. This was probably partially due to the fact that this was one of the last videos that Johnny Cash did before his death and it featured images of his life. Directed by Mark Romanek, the video for Hurt went on to earn best video of the year by the Grammy Awards and CMA Awards, and the best video of all time by NME in July 2011.
Band of Horses – “The Funeral” with Danny MacAskill April 2009

As everyone already knows, I am into music. I do like other things though, and one of these things is biking. Every year around Spring I start going through YouTube to watch all the new biking videos to get me psyched for the biking season. Sometimes I happen to come across some pretty good music in these videos too. For instance, in this video I got hooked on Band of Horses‘, “The Funeral.”
Filmed in and around Edinburgh, Scotland by Dave Sowerby, this video of Inspired Bicycles team rider Danny MacAskill features some the best riding I’ve ever seen. There’s some awesome riding, but also some of the most technically difficult and imaginative lines you will ever see. Without a doubt, this video pushes the envelope of what is perceived as possible on a bike.
Enjoy the music and the riding!
