Michael Kiwanuka - "Tell Me A Tale"

This man is full of soul. Awesome random find.

Duck Sauce - "Big Bad Wolf"

I'm sharing this video not for the music but for the crazy video, this is easily the most ridiculous music video I've seen in quite some time, so of course I had to share. You'll have to sign into YouTube as it deals with adult content in quite the hilarious way. Trust me it's worth it lol

Quadir Lateef - "Good Witness (Bare Witness)"

I'd like to thank Brother Ali for posting a link to one of Quadir's freestyles a few months back now. This man is simply amazing lyrically speaking. He has some of the freshest content I've heard since listening to Immortal Technique's Revolutionary Volume 2. Check him out on Facebook here http://www.facebook.com/Quadir.Lateef and check out his Free Mixtape here http://soundcloud.com/quadirlateef/sets/dj-green-lantern-presents

Florence + The Machine - "Shake It Out"

As we come to a close to 2011, I present you with what I'd most likely deem Song of the Year. I'd also probably have Florence somewhere in My Top 3, as far as Album of the Year is concerned and this is coming from someone who wasn't a huge fan of her work prior to this album. The other albums that come to my mind are CunninLynguists - "Oneirology" and Cold War Kids - "Mine Is Yours". I'd highly recommend checking all of them out, CunninLynguists more so for HipHopHeads, but even if you don't like Rap I'd recommend checking it out.

Example - "Midnight Run"

Upbeat track and some beautiful scenery scattered throughout.

Coldplay - "Paradise"

Whether or not you like Coldplay, which I do I think you'll find this music video entertaining. I kind of feel cheesy posting this as it's almost at 30 Million views on YouTube but oh well...

Cold War Kids - "Royal Blue"

Here is a live performance of one of my favorite tracks, off of one of the Best Albums of the Year in my opinion. I present to you "Royal Blue" by Cold War Kids.

Cassius - "I Love U So"

Catchy track and a catchy/entertaining music video to go along with it.

God Is An Astronaut - "Suicide By Star"

Unofficial but brilliant music video for "Suicide By Star" by God Is An Astronaut whom I stumbled across recently and immediately fell in love with. They remind me somewhat of EotS (Explosions in the Sky). Enjoy!

Handsome Furs - "I'm Confused"

Crazy...I like it. lol

Wolf Parade - "I'll Believe in Anything"

Another band with a unique sound and unique video to go along with it.

What Made Milwaukee Famous - "Sultan"

I thought I had posted this earlier but apparently not...so check it out. A good upbeat track is always essential.

Freelance Whales - "Generator 1st First Floor"

Freelance Whales who have a very unique/beautiful sound performing "Generator 1st First Floor" live during SXSW.

Mates of State - "Palomino"

Hooray...new Mates of State! Cool artsy/Waking Life-esque music video to go along with this catchy track.

Christina Perri - "Arms"

Pretty voice/song and a cool video to go with it.

J.Cole - "Before I'm Gone"

"Before I'm Gone" by J.Cole Live performance...sick beat/lyrics. Check it.

Strange Talk - "Climbing Walls"

Awesome song with an interactive music video? Not sure if it's still interactive since all the prizes have been redeemed but cool nonetheless. Thanks to --clicky---> BIRP <---clicky--- for this find.

The Honey Trees - "To Be With You"

I'm not going to lie this was a completely random click/find while looking into another music video while browsing YouTube. Cool video/song.

Beirut - "Elephant Gun"

Good song and a well shot music video to go along with it. Enjoy.

Youth Lagoon - "Montana"

Brilliant song. Brilliant video.

SOJA (Soldiers of Jah Army) - "I Dont Wanna Wait"

My cousin introduced me to SOJA a month back or so and I had forgot about them for a week or so and then decided to check 'em out. Very chillaxin' reggae...so peep the track.

Emma Louise - "Jungle"

I heard this song during the show "Awkward" on MTV sadly lol...either way she has a wonderful voice so enjoy.

God is an Astronaut - "The End of the Beginning"

Another group I found through Pandora and although there isn't an official music video to go along with this track that I'm aware of anyway, this video goes with it well. Enjoy.

J Minus - "Congratulations, You Suck."

Came across J Minus by way of Pandora and enjoyed them. This music video is fun so I hope you enjoy as well.

OnCue - "Feel Tall"

I just came across this via http://thissongissick.com/blog/ and fell in love with it.

Nada Surf - "Weightless"

I don't know how I didn't post this sooner, I thought I had posted this in my initial batch of video posts but apparently I hadn't so here it is. So they had a contest for this track where a bunch of people on YouTube created videos for the song and here's the awesome winning video for the very catchy song "Weightless" by Nada Surf.

Is Tropical - "The Greeks"

Crazy awesome music video...you may have to sign in because of the adult content aka little kids shooting each other with toy guns. lol

Tokyo Police Club - "Breakneck Speed"

Awesome song and fun video for it.

M83 - "Farewell Goodbye"

Unofficial video but goes with the music/mood so well and is just amazing visually.

Kristoff Krane - "Miracle?"

A good chillax independent hip-hop track here by Kristoff Krane.

Sun Airway - "American West"

This is sadly the best live video available for this song I came across on YouTube.

Fang Island - "Daisy"

A music video that's one continuous shot is pretty rare these days especially with all the sporadic dance moves/jumping around in between. This is what makes indie so much fun.

A Great Big Pile of Leaves - "We Don't Need Our Heads"

A great live performance.

Bruno Mars - "Just The Way You Are"

Not really a Bruno Mars fan to be honest, but this music video is very cool visually.

Martin Solveig Ft. Dragonette - "Hello"

An all around fun song and music video to go with it.

Cloud Cult - "There's So Much Energy In Us"

Beautiful music...the instrumentals mainly the xylophone reminds me a little bit of Sigur Rós.

Tyler, The Creator - "French"

A friend told me about Tyler, The Creator just the other day. I checked him out and oddly enough enjoyed him and his crazy style. His beats for the most part are old school but his lyrics are just out there and his "metaphors are dirty like harpies". Immortal Technique line there. Check out the video.

Two Door Cinema Club - "I Can Talk "

Crazy video for a fun song.

Sarah Blasko - "We Won't Run"

I wont lie I came across Sarah Blasko and this song like a lot of people did during the end of a No Ordinary Family episode, but hey good music is good music.

Death Cab for Cutie - "Soul Meets Body"

Live performance of "Soul Meets Body" by Death Cab for Cutie. Good sound quality.

Andreya Triana - "Far Closer"

Another truly talented vocal talent in Andreya Triana. Live performance.

Esperanza Spalding - "Precious"

A live performance by Esperanza Spalding. I love the blend of beautiful vocals and her Jazz music...amazing talent.

The Fugees - "Killing Me Softly"

Classic remake of Roberta Flack's sung by the lovely Lauryn Hill of The Fugees. God I wish they were still making music...some groups just disband too early. :(

Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth - "They Reminisce Over You"

Another classick joint while I'm at it.

Grand Puba - "360° (What Goes Around)"

Souls Of Mischief - "93 'till Infinity"

They don't make Hip Hop music like this anymore.
