Ten Music Videos with Turtlenecks

Turtleneck Music Video YouTube Playlist

1. Spooky Black - "Without You" (Produced by Greaf) 2014  Spooky Black is only 19 years old (insert shocked emoji). I much prefer to consume this song without the visuals because it feels like I'm too old to watch this video. His crew thestand4rd will be at this year's Soundset in Minneapolis and so will I; yessssss.




2. 3rd Bass - "The Gas Face" 1988  I could have made a whole Turtleneck Music Videos list with all MC Serch (list MVP) videos but that's too easy. MF DOOM as Zev Love X has a cameo in this video.




3. Monica - "Don't Take It Personal (Just One Of Dem Days)" 1995  A perfect example of a 90's R+B song complete with gigantic cell phone.




4. Blood Orange - "You're Not Good Enough" 2014  Hey, you're good enough.




5. Leonard Nimoy - "Ballad Of Bilbo Baggins" 1967  I really don't think it's possible to be more nerdy than this. That said, stay tuned for me starting to sell "Hobbits Unite!" buttons.




6. Total Giovanni - "Can't Control My Love" 2015  Melbourne electropop via Milan that doesn't suck. I'm definitely trying to smash an old TV in slow motion someday.




7. Jessie Ware - "Champagne Kisses" 2015  I much prefer her more upbeat tunes and collaborations to her slow jams. Specifically "If You're Never Gonna Move" and "Right Thing To Do" with Sampha. Jessie Ware is one of those rare people who can rock a yellow turtleneck; props.




8. Bell Biv DeVoe - "Poison" 1990  I know I'm not the only one who had dance routines to this timeless classic.



Here's a video from Bell Biv DeVoe's 2016 album Three Stripes. 




9. Heems - "Damn Girl" 2015  This song really does it for me.




10. Goldlink feat. Ciscero - "Fall In Love" 2016  Goldlink is most definitely just getting going...

Ten More House Party Music Videos

1. GoldLink - "Sober Thoughts" 2015  This Kaytranada produced song is straight fire. My team at ReignCity got to curate a show with Red Bull Sound Select and we scored Goldlink with Porter Ray and Dave B at Barboza on August 5th; wicked.





2. Angus + Julia Stone - "A Heartbreak" 2014  This well lit and cray house party video is one of my most overplayed songs of all time.





3. Cheddar Dust - "Live Raw Dope Phat" 2013 (SEATTLE MUSIC) Wizdumb and Madshroom's (of Black Magic Noize/FFU) short-lived side project. I'd love to hear more of them as a duo.




4. Schoolboy Q - "Hell Of A Night" 2014  Seattle's own Lace Cadence and Parker Joe cameo this video reminiscent of "Earl" but with a more powerful drugshake.




5. Nite Jewel - "One Second Of Love" 2012  I found this on Grimes' Tumblr, it's perfectly Grime-y.




6. ScienZe + King I Divine - "Enjoy Tonight" 2012  Good ol' red cups. My favorite ScienZe project remains to be "Happiness Is."




7. Beastie Boys - "(You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party)" 1986  This no-brainer may be the King Of House Party Videos.




8. Quincy Vidal - "Pillow" 2014  Can't decide if I like this Brooklyn artist, the party looks fun though.




9. Seinabo Sey - "Hard Time" 2014  The Swedes are killing it. I had to work the night of her recent show at the Showbox Sodo Lounge, low key tragedy. It would have been better at The Crocodile anyway.




10. Glenn - "Cannonblaster" 2015  (TACOMA MUSIC) I wish ILLFIGHTYOU played in Seattle more.

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.
