Former Dictator of Iraq drops in for a visit on Boink! Shares some of his music and talks about the early days, before he "sold out"

The best video I can find of this incredible trio: Stanley Clarke, Al Di Meola, and Jean-Luc Ponty, or Rite of Strings. Not their best song (especially the corny midi flute at the beginning), but still pretty awesome players locking in on an odd time/odd changes tune.

Promo for the documentary Jump! (http://www.jumpmovie.com). Lotsa talking early on, but there are some pretty wicked moves later on.

Carrie and Fred work toward the perfect song in trading voice mails.

good advice for anyone, really.

Unrealistically awesome car chase from Shoot Em Up including the best entrance into a stolen car ever.

no idea where or when this is from, but it's some country music heavy hitters singing an old Hank Williams Sr song. I recognize Hank Williams Jr, Randy Travis, Ricky Skaggs, Emmylou Harris, Minnie Pearl, and Chet Atkins. Though I know there are more folks in there.

From TED talks: "In a lively show, mathemagician Arthur Benjamin races a team of calculators to figure out 3-digit squares, solves another massive mental equation and guesses a few birthdays. How does he do it? He’ll tell you."

Man, I love this band. And what an odd, very 90's video.

Here's Weather Report just slaying a tune from Heavy Weather on Midnight Special. You know Jaco is awesome, but what kills me is the unison parts between Jaco and Zawinul. Sometimes life is just unfair.

Tom Waits performing Burma Shave on the Old Grey Whistle Test in 1979

Somehow both very 80s, but not 80s at all. Kind of like an early 80s version of Jellyfish, maybe. Hard to say with much certainty.

Video for track 1 off Spoon's Kill the Moonlight. Fun to see Spoon messing about in the studio.

Bad Plus on Later with Jools Holland. They're rocking out on a tune from their wonderful album, Give.

To me, nothing says break-up song more than rocking out at the dock of a run down warehouse. Instruments are optional.

The intro to that awesome saturday morning cartoon from the 80's, M.A.S.K.

8 bit music video, 8 bit music.
