Eleven Music Videos featuring Parking Garages

Here's the full list in YouTube playlist form. #YouTubeNchill

1. Zelli feat. Feezable The Germ - "Solid" 2017  SEATTLE MUSIC  It's beautiful to see Zelli stepping her game up, I can't wait to see what she does next. "Solid" is the title track from her latest EP, released in August 2016. The video was created by the mega-talented A.K. Romero; Seattle is oozing with talent.




2. M.I.A. - "Bring The Noize" 2013  One of the reasons I think we all love M.I.A. is because she dares to be different. It's funny how we often hide the gifts that make us unique to better fit in. M.I.A. likely had to overcome some




3. Graves 33 - "Waiting For Never" 2012  SEATTLE MUSIC  Graves 33 works his ass off making music, graphic design, woodburning, videography, and taking care of his family.




4. Deltron 3030 - "City Rising From The Ashes" (Video 2) 2013  The original version of this video can be found on my list of Music Videos w/ Projectors. It amazes me how little attention this album got, I guess people were too distracted by all the mainstream garbage as usual. Fortunately, I was able to see them perform twice during the tour to promote the album. The second version of the video got one-sixth the attention of the original...lesson learned.

5. Paul White feat. Trim - "Get Your Head Round This" 2014  I still can't figure out how I feel about Paul White's music, it seems like most of his songs are missing something. This song is definitely unique and more creative than most of the garbage you'll hear on the radio. His work ethic and creativity will keep me listening/watching. He just released a free beat tape on Bandcamp so you can hear for yourself how he's progressed.

6. Homeboy Sandman - "America The Beautiful" 2015  Yet another gem from Homeboy Sandman, can't wait to hear the new material he's working on with Aesop Rock as the duo Lice.




7. Emily Wells - "Mama's Gonna Give You Love" 2012  This is an incredible performance, one of the many that earned her the opportunity to work with one of my personal favorites, Dan The Automator, on their Pillowfight side project. The lead single from that project appeared on my compilation of music videos with Leg Shots.




8. Silas Blak - "Yeah Yeah" 2015  SEATTLE MUSIC  Walking around the neighborhood videos do a great job of showcasing the natural talent of the artist. Silas Blak is oozing with natural talent...the Cabin Games crew gets it. Do yourself a favor and check out his "Editorials: (wartunes)" album, available on his Bandcamp page.




9. Lady Leshurr - "Queen's Speech Ep. 1" 2015  Much respect to Lady Leshurr for owning her queenliness. The six installments of her Queen's Speech series got me hooked.




10. Massive Attack - "Angel" 1998  Massive Attack is timeless. I love the theory that Massive Attack's Robert Del Naja is Banksy...even though he says it's not true.




11. Radiohead - "Daydreaming" 2016  See how Thom Yorke has the courage to walk through every doorway he comes to, that is how you make shit happen for yourself. I see metaphors for kicking ass at life everywhere these days and I'm okay with it...that said, some doorways are not worth the energy.

Ten Great Live Performance Videos Part III

1. Filthy Fingers United Cassette Release Party 2014  Incredibly proud to say that this was the first show I ever booked in The Crocodile Back Bar. Diogenes is to FFU as Peanut Butter Wolf is to Stones Throw. I would love to help the 50+ Filthy Fingers United members be able to quit their day jobs to make music. They release a monthly themed compilation that I post on the ReignCity website on the 20th of every month.




2. Madlib Makes A Beat w/ Sony's MVR - "LA To Tokyo" 2014  I haven't seen Madlib live since Neumos 2007, that's way too long. I have only great memories of the show, but according to this article from The Stranger it was shitty.




3. Ol Dirty Bastard On Yo! MTV RAPS 1995?  We miss you ODB.




4. FKA Twigs - "Hide" 2014  This is one of my favorite videos of all time. It's a bummer that the little kid had peed his pants for his YouTube debut.  They filmed the visuals in Aztec ruins, which is fucking awesome. The percussion getting a bit wonky is part of why it is so great. I also appreciate the KEXP version.




5. Homeboy Sandman + Paul White - "Wade In The Water" 2014  Homeboy Sandman is one of my favorite rappers. My ReignCity team got to host his January 23 Bellingham show with Aesop Rock, Rob Sonic, DJ Abilities, and Dark Time Sunshine for the Hail Mary Mallon Tour. It was one of the best days ever.





6. Grape God - "Time Travel Television" 2014  Very proud to say that I brought some of Portland's most interesting artists to The Crocodile Back Bar on February 8. Grape God brought Slick Devious, Renaissance Coalition, and Soopah Eype up with him. Super genius OCnotes performed as well. I love that they used live footage and made it into Time Travel Television.




7. Brandy, MC Lyte, Yo-Yo, and Queen Latifah Are Still Down - "Live at BET Hip Hop Awards 2014" These Queens are still amazing. The audience shots are pretty great too.



8. Daughter - "Youth" NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert 2013  The original is a great song, but Budo's Remix of the song is incredible.








9. Shabazz Palaces - "Live On KEXP" 2014 (SEATTLE MUSIC) The Black Constellation is light years ahead of the rest.




10. Fink - "Warm Shadow" 2013  I got to see them at their show at The Crocodile back in October. I had never heard their music before and it was probably one of the best shows I've ever seen. "Warm Shadow" was featured on Walking Dead.




Here's the link to the original Ten Incredible Live Performance Videos and here's the link to the second.

Ten Music Videos All About The Dance Moves

1. Flying Lotus - "Parisian Goldfish/Dance Floor Dale" 2014  This video would also qualify for the green screen compilation alongside 3rd Bass, The Streets, M.I.A., Monie Love and six more..




2. FKA Twigs - "Wet Wipez" 2014  FKA Twigs is definitely interesting and unique but her music is kind of boring...which may be why she needs to have such rad music videos.




3. Paul White - "Where You Gonna Go?" 2014  I would probably like this song more if he was head nodding instead of head dancing, there's a huge difference.




4. Mr. T. - "Treat Your Mother Right" 1984  Mr. T's makes his stance on yo mama jokes in this PSA of sorts.




5. Diogenes - "Drunken Mastery" 2014 (SEATTLE MUSIC)  All hail Filthy Fingers United. This song appeared on their At The Drive-In compilation from August 2014.




6. Les Sins - "Bother" 2014  Les Sins is a Toro Y Moi side project. If you watch this old Band Crush video from 2010 you too will love Toro Y Moi.




7. Adam Grabowski + Mike Ditka - "The Grabowski Shuffle" 1986  It's hard to know what to think about this one.




8. Reggie Watts - "Sunshine" 2014  I would love to see someone walking down the street like this.




9. Tuxedo - "Do It" 2014  Tuxedo was a mysterious group of the Clutchy Hopkins variety. They have come out of hiding and announced that Mayer Hawthorne and Jake One are the genius behind the project.




10. Blood Orange - "It Is What It Is" 2014  This is a long Gap commercial.
