Night Watch
My laundry list of preferred tracks goes marching on. (Click here to see them all so far.) Yeah, this is just Will Oldham re-covering Johnny Cash but 1) This version is great 2) This video is one of the best things I saw all year. Look at the skeleton man dance.
My laundry list of preferred tracks goes marching on. (Click here to see them all so far.) Okay, I promised there would be some hipster bullshit on parade, so...
ADDENDUM: Dan Deacon called me out on Twitter for the "hipster bullshit" comment. Yeah, it was a dumb thing to write. "Hipster" is in the eye of the beholder and pretty much never used in a meaningful way. "Bullshit" just makes no sense, considering I like the song and video enough to name it a favorite of the year. My apologies for the affront, Mr. Deacon.
My parade of preferred tracks goes marching on. (Click here to see them all so far.) I love this song. The video weirds me out. I don’t know what constitutes NSFW, but be warned that this video contains zombie-ish pawing at grey boobage for some reason.
My parade of preferred tracks goes marching on. (Click here to see them all so far.) It can't all be pretty and poppy. Pig Destroyer put out Book Burner this year, and it's loud and blunt like grindcore should be. I think. What do I know? I know I don't support burning books, but I guess I'm okay with pig destruction since I like bacon and this kills the pig.
My parade of this year’s preferred tracks goes marching on. (Click here to see them all so far.) Cold Specks, I Predict a Graceful Expulsion, was one of my favorites this year. It's soulful and gloomy an great for listening to straight through.
You know the drill. Every night at midnight I'm posting the best stuff I heard this year. These songs usually have decent videos to go with them. Like everything The Heartless Bastards do, this song's kind of a groovy slow burn. They put an album this year called Arrow and it is damn good.
Assuming I don’t run out, I’ll be posting some of the best songs/videos of the year every night at midnight. Or my favorites, anyway. Some might be great songs with awful videos. Or vice versa. Some could just be hipster bullshit. Hopefully you’ll discover something you like. The reunited GBV do not actually appear in this video, but we do get Jon Glaser (star of Delocated and a Conan regular).

Some could just be hipster bullshit. Hopefully you’ll discover something you like. I'd rather see Philly rap wunderkind Meek Mill trading slow, filthy/sacrilegious metaphors with a cupcake like Drake than buzzmarketing with Rick Ross. I'm betting this song in particular is the one that set that preacher off.

Some could just be hipster bullshit. Hopefully you’ll discover something you like. I first saw The Dirty Ghosts in a basement in Austin and I was smitten with the way they rocked the room as if there wasn't a portapotty 10 feet from the stage.

Some could just be hipster bullshit. Hopefully you’ll discover something you like. Bob Mould, formerly of Sugar and Hüsker Dü, put out an excellent album this year, Silver Age. It's his most Sugary stuff in years, and is best played loud and often.
