Make No Mistake by MC Paul Barman

Make No Mistake is typical MC Paul Barman: left politics, abzurd lyrics with some really creative rhymes, and otherwise weak rapping. But his rhymes make it worth a listen or three.

It's A Shame My Binoculars Don't Work At Night by State Shirt

State Shirt loves to experiment with his voice, making weird sounds, cutting it up, and beatboxing, and that's the big draw of It's a Shame My Binoculars Don't Work at Night. This playful exploration takes place as part of a solid alternative rock song.

Our Hell by Emily Haines and the Soft Skeleton

Emily Haines takes us through Our Hell. It's a dark place, made better by her lovely voice. The video is equally dark, with stylized negative images of people dumping eerily luminescent fluid all over themselves.

I Want You by Andy Korg

I Want You is a beautiful song with a moody hip-hop style production. The video is artfully shot and delivered in a high resolution, high quality format that shows off its excellent shots.

Survivalism by Nine Inch Nails

Survivalism is a return to the far more interesting, more visceral music videos Nine Inch Nails did for the Broken and Downward spiral videos. This one is presented as surveillance video footage of people in their homes as a military unit storms the building.

Women To Control by AK-Momo

This is a wierd little number brought to my attention when it was in overplay over at a certain catalogue of free online music. It has weird Swedish singing over a lo-fi beat with lots of vinyl pops. After hearing it, I'm not so sure I actually want women to control.

Heaven by Bitter:Sweet

This song is an absolute treat. It has a bossa nova soul with some trip-hop production flourishes, and a luscious female voice. Let Bitter:Sweet show you their little bit of Heaven.

Romantic Cheapskate by MC Frontalot with Badd Spellah

MC Frontalot clearly doesn't treat SongFight like he should. He's a Romantic Cheapskate, coming around only once in a blue moon, sweeping songfight off her feet, and then disappearing again.

John Benjamin sings a pretty little lullaby. He promises skylines and wishing wells and other fanciful things. It helps soothe me to sleep.

Cell Phones Work Much Better Underwater by Daniele Torelli

Boy With A Coin by Iron And Wine

The Shepherd's Dog isn't the tight, moving work that the Woman King EP was. It loses my attention at points and gains it back at others. Boy With A Coin is one of those highlights.
