well turns out it was technically my fault for the outage ... thedrastics.com needed to be re-registered after 2 years ... but you think theyd send you some kind of reminder ... i generally dont remember things after 2 days, let alone 2 years ...

anyway, heres some niceness

dolphy and coltrane playing "impressions"

i know its cliche, but miles davis really is a bad ass ... miles and coltrane playin "so what" with the gil evans orchestra (ive seen this whole video, pretty sure its gil evans) ... seriously this is gangsta shit

wes montgomerys take on "impressions"

great video (but really poor audio) of gilberto gil & os mutantes circa '66

GOOD GOD YALL! ... you MUST let this clip load all the way before you watch ... its short, but havin it freeze up will kill the impact ...

we gon work on the other side of time ... sun ra's arkestra freakin the fuggg out

frank chicken is their name, "we are ninja" is their song ... and this is possibly the coolest 80s video ive ever seen

classic

beck backed by the flaming lips

original acme catalog (link thanks to the lovely sofie)

oh also this is one of the biggest shams in the american music industry's recent past
