But I’m a big dreamer so watch me come up with something

I like watching music videos on youtube, because you can find random ass ones that you would never see on MuchMusic. That is why I thought it was sweet for Pitchfork to make up this wicked list of their 100 favourite music videos of all time. Out of that list there are a whole bunch I have never seen, but there are definitely some gems. I recall being excited every time I happened to catch OutKast’s Bombs Over Baghdad, because they never really played that on TV. A couple others worth digging for are The Avalanches: Frontier Psychiatrist (a video I had never seen), Boogie Down Productions: My Philosophy (I had this on my Rap Traxx 2 tape, which was the best tape ever. Apparently, KRS rapped live for the video. Sick.), The Decemberists: Sixteen Military Wives, DJ Shadow: Six Days, Madvillain: All Caps (I’ve never seen this video, but it is hella good), Nas: One Mic (A song that completely destroys, definitely my favourite Nas beats), Radiohead: Just, Wu-Tang’s Triumph (I love this video because I could finally put a face to all of the Wu), and Sigur Rós: Untitled #1 (Beautiful video for a beautiful song).

And that’s it. Youtube is way better than watching shit on TV.

Peace.

I have nothing to say about Justin's post because I never really read them/don't understand them, but I just wanted to say Happy Solstice to everyone!
