[Playlist of the Week] 10 Songs for America
Beers, burgers and the good ol’ US of A. While it’s obvious these past couple of weeks have been filled with both good news and bad news in our country, last weekend marked the 239th birthday of the United States. Country songs would be a cop-out for an Independence Day playlist, so we’ve compiled 10 songs that don’t involve trucks, tractors or whiskey to commemorate a fantastic 4th of July.
[Playlist of the Week] 5 Retro Video Game Themes for E3
Video games have played a large role in my nearly 30 years of life; so, too, has music. While video game OSTs (Original Soundtracks) don't get the acclaim and recognition they often deserve, the right soundtrack can easily be replayed countless times without the context of a boss battle or stage selection screen.
With this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) taking place this week, I figured it'd be as good a time as any to curate a playlist of five iconic, retro video game themes for this week's installment of Playlist of the Week. I capped my selections to only include video games released before 1993 to get that extra retro, MIDI feel... and to keep the door open for even more in the future.
I hope you enjoy my selections! We'll also be covering the major video game announcements from E3 this week, so if video games tickle your fancy, we'll have you covered!
[Playlist of the Week] 10 Music Videos for the End of School
As finals rear their ugly heads around the corner, the season of cabin fever for students everywhere begins. While studying proves to be more difficult by the hour, we’ve put together a video playlist to push you through the last days of spring semester.
[Playlist of the Week] 15 Weird Science Music Videos
Last week in science: Newsweek has evidence to back if aliens exists, they’re huge, SNL made fun of Scientologists, a “terror bird” has been discovered and the Brontosaurus has been resurrected as a genus. Oh, and it’s almost finals week for all you Science majors out there, so we’ve devised a playlist to get you through the week.
[Video Playlist of the Week] Weird for the Sake of Weirdness
Header by Rachel Cameron
Over the past couple of years I’ve listened to a number of bands just because I enjoy their weirdness. Meaning, talent, and progression can only keep my attention for so long before I become bored of a band; or at least bored enough to put a record on the backburner for a while. If you’re anything like me, you like some weird shit. If you don’t, have no fear: I’ve compiled a short list of strange songs for you to listen to while you get real weird with it.
BABYMETAL - "Doki Doki Morning"
[youtube id="cirhQ8iLdbw"]
Two years ago, I took a History of Heavy Metal class, and my professor pulled this video up one day. He called it, “the scariest, most disturbing thing” he has ever heard/seen. To my surprise (and my surprise only), I loved it. BABYMETAL consists of three teenage girls who sing K-pop to death metal. They’re like the Aerosmith of Japan, which says a lot about how weird Japan is.
Die Antwoord - "Pitbull Terrier"
[youtube id="JvMXVHVr72A"]
A South African rap-rave duo, Die Antwoord are the definition of weird. Seriously, if this video doesn’t show it, check out their other songs. They’re nuts.
Three Loco - "We Are Farmers"
[youtube id="cb9XTK3_n2Y"]
The trio of Three Loco includes Andy Milonakis, Dirt Nasty, and Riff Raff. If you know who any of those people are then I don’t need to say anything else. Seperately, they’re each a runner for easily being the weirdest people I’ve ever heard about in the media. Together, they make no sense at all.
Lil B - "I’m God"
[youtube id="2pyops3UGr4"]
I’m not sure what it is about Lil B AKA Based God, but almost every music video he puts out is him wandering through some retail store. Like a mini-Kanye, Lil B and his fanbase have either a serious notion or a long-running joke that he is a God.
Tyler, The Creator - "Tamale"
[youtube id="OxlJLz9M8hQ"]
(*NSFW* ever; like anything he does) Tyler, The Creator (one part of OFWGTA) is a weird dude. While he and his counterparts are great musicians, his persona as Tyler, The Creator is off the wall in the best way possible.
Yung Lean - "Kyoto"
[youtube id="2pyops3UGr4"]
A Swedish teenager decided to make alternative, counterculture comedic raps about being a “2001 sad boy.” Yung Lean embodies what Tumblr is: a bunch of adult children reblogging about alt comedy and Arizona Iced Tea.
Outkast - "B.O.B."
[youtube id="fVyVIsvQoaE"]
Outkast are the original hip-hop weirdos.
Mariachi El Bronx - "Wildfires"
[youtube id="6o1cXudCkqA"]
I’m not a mariachi fan, but the alter-ego of post-hardcore/punk outfit The Bronx takes the form of a traditional mariachi band. Every now and again they go on tour and you never know if they’re going to be playing The Bronx songs or Mariachi El Bronx songs. Or both. Either way, I dig their alter egos and the gimmick of having the most “out there” counter-hobby of punk music.
Iwrestledabearonce - "You Know That Ain’t Them Dogs’ Real Voices"
[youtube id="pwgMMtgSTVE"]
If you take grindcore, prog metal, technical death metal, rainbows, and sound bytes from '80s movies, you have Iwrestledabearonce.
Melanie Martinez - "Carousel"
[youtube id="zAB5AC9yhY0"]
The only instance in where I can say something is both sexy and creepy at the same time.
What’s the weirdest thing you listen to?
