Muse - "Hysteria" LIVE - Song of the Day - [10-13-14]

Muse puts on one of the best live performances in the rock genre, so I had to share a live video. They are a very complete band, some songs are so rich with a musical story it's almost like watching a film, just all audible. This song "Hysteria" come from the album Absolution. I love this bass line it's very difficult to play and it's completely vital to the song, normally the drummer keeps the beat but not on the song "Hysteria" everyone follows the bass. Muse really blew up in America when the song "Knights of Cydonia" hit every rock radio station back in 2006. Every Muse album is a masterpiece, they are a very well established and highly skilled group of friends with fame all over the world and rightfully so, they rock!

MF Doom has a vast vocabulary, making his rhymes so unique. He tells awesome stories from the perspective of a super villian.

It's really difficult to write rhymes like MF Doom, he rarely talks about himself as I, he speaks from a third person point of view. The more you listen to MF Doom the more you will want to hear, he is an addicting musician.

Big L was a legend, and he was taken from us too soon. He tells amazing stories of the streets growing up in Harlem, New York. Back in 1999 Big L was shot in a drive by shooting which turned out to be fatal. He lives on today through his amazing music. Before that terrible day, Big L was busy launching his own record label Flamboyant Entertainment, and putting it down old school. If you don't know the story of Big L just listen to his music and he will fill you in himself, he was one of the best story tellers ever in hip-hop.

The Presets - "Girl And The Sea" - Song of the Day [7-17-14]

Check out an absolutely beautiful video for the song "Girl And The Sea" by The Presets. This song tells the mystical tale of a girl raised in the wild and when she grows up she becomes a mermaid. The story is told starting from climax for the first verse as he girl escapes into the sea. The second verse comes back to the beginning talking about the girl as a baby. Each chorus has different lyrics, although the melody used in singing the story is the same. I love The Presets, they make very deep and interesting music. It's really cool to see a music video like this one, it really adds a lot to the song.
