Ten More Music Videos with Projectors

Here's the link to the projector videos I've compiled so far via YouTube playlist. #YouTubeNchill

1. Stalley - "Cup Inside A Cup" 2013  I started this list in 2013 when the song came out, which should clue you into the depths of the back end of this website. In the three years that have passed, Stalley seems to have fallen off my radar due to lack of buzz but the song still goes. I never got a chance to overplay it because it's not on Spotify.




2. Air Credits - "No Water" 2016  I just had the pleasure of working with these guys when they opened for Sims from Doomtree at Barboza in Seattle recently. Air Credits is ShowYouSuck and Steve from The Hood Internet; both gentleman are from the Chicago area and are wonderful people. They've united to create a concept album, I seriously fux with concept albums (Shoutout to Prince Paul & Automator). Here's what Consequence Of Sound has to say about the project:

'The concept goes something like this: Air Credits exist in a kind of dystopian society in the future, where Trump “never left office” due to advanced cloning technology. It’s a situation that’s laid out clearest in a hook on album closer “No Water”: “We ain’t got no water, plus we pay for air/ How we livin’ here, in the wasteland?”'




3. Deltron 3030 feat. Mike Patton - "City Rising From The Ashes" 2013  Special effects or not, it comes as no surprise that Deltron 3030 make use of a 3D projector from the year 3030. Artists like these are the ones that really do it for me. Dan The Automator, Kid Koala, Del The Funky Homosapien, and Mike Patton have made a career out of personal growth and keeping it weird. If you're on a mission to be prolific, as I've heard many say, Mike Patton's discography should encourage you to get to work...you've been slacking.




4. Cut Chemist feat. Chali 2na and Hymnal - "Work My Mind" 2013  Cut Chemist first grabbed my attention as one of the DJs for Jurassic 5, then he quickly became one of my favorite artists through his 45 collaborations with DJ Shadow (Brainfreeze & Product Placement). This video was made right around the time he sold his whole vinyl collection to Amoeba Music, an interesting decision I can vibe with because I move so much.




5. Låpsley - "Station" 2014  A projector, a video camera, and a willing participant were all that they needed to make this video. Using what you've got and keeping it minimal can be magical with the right team.



As proven previously with his remix of Daughter's "Youth," Budo has the amazing ability to make a great song into something that tugs at my heartcords and makes me wonder when he'll get the shine he deserves.




6. The Smiths - "How Soon Is Now" 1984  This song is 32 years old and still sounds fresh every time, to me at least. The Smiths have likely heard this song so many times that they cringe at the first note. I'm pretty sure that making something that can have this much longevity is what most musicians dream of.




7. Grape God feat. Ripley Snell - "Point God" 2014  (PORTLAND MUSIC)  I'm not into basketball but I definitely fuck with this song and these dudes. I've had the pleasure of booking these guys for a couple shows in The Crocodile Back Bar and they were just as weird as I hoped they would be.




8. Dam Funk - "Mirrors" 2009  This song was released on Dam Funk's 5xLP Box Set, Toeachizown, back in 2009 (here's what Pitchfork thought about it).  Shoutout to Peanut Butter Wolf for playing a vital role in the release of this album and everything else that you do, Stones Throw or otherwise. Peace and love to Folerio!




9. SBTRKT feat. Sampha - "Look At Stars" 2010  This was a bonus track on SBTRKT's self-titled amazing album. I've yet to see either of these artists live but I'm working on fixing that. SBTRKT is one of the Kings Of Music Videos With Masks, alongside MF DOOM of course.




10. Meyhem Lauren feat. Action Bronson + Heems - "Special Effects" 2012  Yet another video that makes me want to use a projector as a television. Shoutout to Action Bronson for showing the world that stoners CAN get shit done.

Ten Great Songs From The Depths Of My Soundcloud Account

Props to Soundcloud and all they have done for the music community so far. I couldn't just let these songs lie dormant, I had to share them. For a good time follow 206liz on Soundcloud (me). The Soundcloud app is one of my all time favorite inventions.

1. Bipolar Sunshine feat Goldlink - "Future Part 1" 2014  The beat drop at 51 seconds is what dreams are made of. I think I found this by following Oakland's Hot Record Société.




2. King Ara - "Who The Fuck You Talkin' To?" 2013  It amazes me that this song never blew up, which is pretty much how I feel about every song on this list. This is the only song on his Soundcloud account so far.




3. Reva DeVito - "Friday Night" 2014 (Produced by Kaytranada)  If I was into Fridays and all that it represents to 9-5ers, I would play this song on Fridays. Instead, I get to listen to it whenever.




4. Porter Ray - "Blackcherry" 2014 (SEATTLE MUSIC) New Sub Pop signee and Ish protege Porter Ray is poised for greatness. I actually listened to the entire Fundamentals album repeatedly, it's that good.




5. De La Soul - "Dilla Plugged In" 2014  (Produced by J Dilla)  I would have loved to see a tour for this album.





6. BJ The Chicago Kid + Add-2 - "15 Minutes Of Fame" 2014  (Produced by 9th Wonder)  Instant classic status.




7. Daughter - "Youth (BUDO Remix)" 2014  Budo is one of those producers who can make a great song even better.




8. MED, Blu, Mayer Hawthorne, + Madlib - "The Buzz" 2013  I'm still working on becoming the Peanut Butter Wolf of Seattle so that I can help make songs like this happen. I may fangirl out a little when it comes to my love for Stones Throw.




9. Maryam Saleh - "Nouh Al Hamam" 2013  (Produced by Oddisee)  Multi-genre music fusion is the best, especially when it's for a great cause. For more info about this project, check out the album on Bandcamp.




10. EarDr.Umz - "Live @ Stop Biting 7.8.14" 2014 (SEATTLE MUSIC) I could listen to this on repeat for hours, actually I already have.

Ten Music Videos featuring Senior Citizens

1. Budo - "Fremont" 2013 (SEATTLE MUSIC) *This gem of a human being and music video could also fit in with the rest of the moving machinery, kid, singing into the camera, balloon, and sped-up city scene videos.




2. Deltron 3030 feat. Jamie Cullum - "Do You Remember" 2014  *Dan The Automator remains to be one of my superheroes. 



3. Macklemore and Ryan Lewis - "Irish Celebration" 2011  *These dudes are winning at life.

4. Major Lazer feat The Partysquad - "Original Don" 2011  *This song does not do it for me, but I still can't seem to look away.

5. The Bangles - "Walk Like An Egyptian" 1986  *I love the Princess Diana special effects.

6. LCD Soundsystem - "Home" 2010  *There is also train tracks, street-walking, public transportation, graffiti, and a house party in this one.

7. Caribou - "Sun" 2010  *So great and so uncomfortable to watch at the same time. This would fit in very well with the other slow-motion music videos.

8. Soul Asylum - "Runaway Train" 1992   *They made a big nineties splash, didn't they. I wonder if they ever found these kids, they should have their own "Where Are They Now" Special.

9. Modest Mouse - "Dashboard" 2007  *Epic fishing adventure video.

10. How To Dress Well - "Face Again (Part 2 of 3 "What Is This Heart?" trilogy) 2014  *Heavy shit mang.

Eight Music Videos featuring Money

1. 3rd Bass - "Brooklyn-Queens" 1988  *MC Serch has 3rd Bass shaved into the back of his head, rad.



2. Tricky - "Sophie Sees" 2013  *This is a short film filmed and scored by Tricky, skillz.




3. Large Professor - "IJUSWANNACHILL" 2009  *This was officially released in 2009, released for promo only in 2002, and shelved by Geffen in 1996.

It uses the same sample as De La Soul's "Dinninit".




4. Michael Christmas - "Michael Cera" 2013  *Squeezing Egg McMuffins is hardcore. Still not sure why he made a song about Michael Cera, but, it's awesome.




5. DJ Quik - "Safe + Sound" 1995  *DJ Quik is coming to The Crocodile January 24, it will be epic.

6. King Ara - "Who The F**k You Talkin' To?" 2013  *This song amazes me.

3. Declaime feat. Georgia Anne Muldrow - "Mages Sages II" (Produced by Flying Lotus) 2010  *Next level jam.



4. James Blake feat. RZA - "Take A Fall For Me" 2013  *Not surprising that a James Blake and RZA would make a song this amazing.




5. Portugal. The Man feat. Danny Brown - "Evil Friends (Jake One Remix)" 2013  *This is the first song I contributed to Reign City, and it's awesome.




6. King Krule - "Foreign 2" 2013  *King Krule will be playing at Barboza on December 14. I'm so there.




7. Glass Candy - "Candy Castle" 2007  *I would love to see a Glass Candy and Chromatics show someday.



8. Barry Adamson - "Something Wicked This Way Comes" 1997  *I originally found this song on the Lost Highway Soundtrack, which had some serious gems.

9. Deltron 3030 - "3030" 2000   *Deltron 3030 is coming to The Crocodile on November 17. They have a new album called Deltron 3030: Event II. Dan The Automator's discography is truly amazing.



10. The XX - "Angels" (Budo Remix) 2013  *"Angels" seems like it was made to be remixed. Budo's incredible new album is best described in this guy's Tumblr page review.

Budo Live On KEXP

Budo performed "Circles" live on KEXP and it was WOW.

Ten Music Videos featuring Shopping Carts

1. Radiohead - "Fake Plastic Trees" 1995  *The combination of the 18 years that have passed and the fact that they are riding in shopping carts makes the guys in Radiohead look like babies. This is the King of the shopping cart videos.




2. Grieves and Budo - "On The Rocks" 2011  *I love videos with a storyline.
