Buzzworthy

West Siyeeeed! Sorry, been YouTubing too much Westside Connection lately. Which brings me to a good point...there is a ton of really great gems on YouTube (music wise) if you know what to look for. Allow me to provide you with some of the best things I've searched for and found:

1. Concrete Blonde doing a live performance of "Someday" on the Dennis Miller Show, circa 1992.

2. Edwyn Collins's great hit from 1994 "A Girl Like You". The real video for the song isn't on YouTube (at least I didn't search that hard for it), but some folks have actually made fan videos of goofy animations to the song. If you minimize the window and just listen, it's very nice.

3. Space's 1996 hit "The Female Of The Species" is a great, funky tune I remember from my days working in a leather store. We had it on the generic soundtrack that played on the in-store stereo, and I had to track it down.

4. An absolutely fantastic live version of "Trip My Wire" by my personal favorite band, Garbage.

Of course, if you're going to be searching around on YouTube, make sure you check out all the Chad Vader series of videos as well. They are very well done for a campy take on the Star Wars saga (and I'm not even a big Star Wars fan).
