Van Halen - Hot For Teacher

When this record came out, it felt so good. Had it on vinyl, 1984. We had big stereos and it felt really really bad, as in badass. Few rock like Van Halen.

Willoughby

Came across Elliot Glass on YouTube a while back and immediately loved his films of LA indie bands shot in what seems to be various living rooms. He has amassed a bunch of great recordings. His crew at Little Videos records the sound beautifully and the photography/video work is pretty darned good and always fits. Here is another cool shoot of local Echo Park/Los Angeles band, Willoughby.

Nina Simone - Ain't Got No...I've Got Life

One of the greatest artists and civil rights activists in the history of modern music, also known as The High Priestess of Soul, Nina Simone was a true original.

This live concert footage, captured in the summer of 1969 when she performed at the Harlem Cultural Festival in Harlem's Mount Morris Park, is a treasure.

Here is some more live concert footage shot in London in 1968, where she performs the same song at a different tempo and cops a different groove than the take above. Enjoy!
