Some of those who were not paying attention in 1998 eventually discovered that actress Katie Holmes did a cameo appearance in The Flys music video, Got You Where I Want You. "Got You (Where I Want You)" was featured on The Flys debut album entitled Holiday Man in 1998 and also appeared on the soundtrack for the 1998 MGM film entitled Disturbing Behavior, which Katie Holmes appeared in as well.

Sara Bareilles is the real deal. She is kind, sweet and humble. Before her career took off, she was a waitress at a pioneering craft beer gastropub, long before she got signed to Epic Records. She was a rare exception, for any waitress, in that she never talked desperately about being an artist or trying to make it, unlike many NY/LA waitresses who cannot resist informing everyone. Bump into her now, and she is exactly the same easy going person she always was. That says a lot about her character and it is part of her charm :) As a result, one can't stop loving her and her music.
Thanks to Bonnie Sanders for the links to these most classic live recordings :)

Found these cell phone videos captured by DJ Sheep at a DJ Shadow performance in Australia on July 29, 2011. DJ Sheep wrote, "One of the most amazing live shows I've witnessed from a DJ/producer. Optical illusions at their finest, with some crazy new Shadow material..."
Lost for 50 years, 1 hour and 45 minutes of newly discovered 16mm concert films with fantastic audio recordings from the 1961 Antibes Jazz Festival in France with Ray Charles in his prime along with the original Raeletts and his band that included David "Fathead" Newman and Hank Crawford.
These were the first concerts Ray Charles had ever done in Europe. A must see!
The British Invasion: The Hollies- Look Through Any Window 1963-1975. This first official documentary on the Hollies features 22 complete performances filmed between 1963 and 1975, spanning their entire hit-making career. New interviews with founding members Graham Nash, Allan Clarke, Tony Hicks and Bobby Elliott tell the fascinating story of this group whose stellar musicianship and beautiful vocals thrilled millions of fans and influenced generations of new bands.
Femi Kuti is a Nigerian musician and the eldest son of the late great Nigerian music king and afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti. Femi was born in Lagos, Nigeria, the same place one of my favorite artists, Nneka, is from. The thing these three powerful artists share in common is their songs that exude their strong commitment to social and political causes. The region of Lagos, in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria, is a corporatist haven where politicians and the energy companies have cultivated an environment of crony capitalism which has led to the environmental destruction of the region as oil companies rape and pillage both the land, waterways, air and the downtrodden citizens of the region. The kinds of routine oil spills in the Niger Delta make the U.S. Gulf of Mexico oil spill by BP seem like just a little bit of spilled milk.
With that said, this happens to be one song of Femi Kuti's that is not so political. It's pure sexy Cuban infused Nigerian soul that is it's own universal language.

The Maidstone, United Kingdom, based band known as White Bone Rattle, totally kicks ass. Turn it up and enjoy!
White Bone Rattle - Rise with the Morning
Rise With The Morning seems to be their first real video. The rest of their songs on YouTube are not really videos, just the songs. There are a few grainy phone cam videos of live shows too. White Bone Rattle is definitely worth a browse because you'll hear some serious hard rock, very organic, that reminds me of where early Led Zeppelin meets Black Sabbath. For me, it's music from when I was in grade school in the 1970's.
Nneka is one of the most inspired artists I've ever met. This is a recent clip that began appearing on YouTube recently. She has a way of taking love song and making them heavy. Enjoy!
Nneka - Do you love me now (live session @ streets of Paris)
Her signature songs such as Africans get political and social.
Heartbeat starts out like a love song, but has political undertones woven in the lyrics.
To me, she has got the activist of Bob Marley inside of her. Every day I wish I was finding more artists like her. But, Nneka is rare.... nobody quite like her.
Music Television is pleased to present The Black Keys and a filmed live performance of their song titled Set You Free, filmed for Australian television network, V Music and their program entitled The Gig. Enjoy!
Robin Yvette Allen is known as The Lady of Rage well known for her work with Death Row Records artists, including but not limited to Snoop Dog and Dr. Dre.

Here more tracks from the Above The Rim movie soundtrack album
Hated to read the news article of how Facundo Cabral was shot to death by a gang of gunman who were out to kill Cabral's manager, who survived the attack. The Argentinian folk singer, artist and vegabond is loved in throughout Latin America and Mexico. A wikipedia page devoted to his life has grown today and is a very interesting read. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facundo_Cabral
A friend request came in on the MUSIC TELEVISION YouTube Channel from a hard rocking band known as Counterclock. Reminds me of great hair bands from the 80's like RATT. Enjoy!
The song is a Pretty Lights version of a Led Zeppelin remix. The track samples pieces of 7 Led Zeppelin tracks collaged together and then reflected thru a prism of Hip-Hop, Classic Rock, Downtempo, and Dubstep. The video is from a montage from two Colorado shows.
Thank you for the e-mail from Sandy Linderman to post this obscure 1970 flashback video of Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash & Eric Clapton perform Matchbox Blues live On The Johnny Cash Show. Enjoy!

Go to the following link to hear a pretty great live take of Muse performing the song made famous by Nina Simone titled Feeling Good. It was recorded live at Wembly Stadium in June 2007. After watching, come back here for more :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PN6egPgazA
They had the whole audience singing along, as better evidenced via this cell phone take from the nosebleed section, which actually captures the essence of the crowd better than the slick version from above. It makes one realize how big of an act Muse really is.
This is the Nina Simone version of Feeling Good which appeared on her 1965 album titled I Put a Spell on You

Nneka is one of my top favorite living artists on the planet. The real deal and a welcome departure from the status quo of meaninglessness in music. Activist minded heavy lyrics and a vibe that Bob Marley would have gravitated toward.
This is Nneka's latest track off the upcoming album coming that was due Sept 27, 2011, but somehow has been held up in the U.S.. Stay tuned.
Here is a fun take of the hard rocking Grace Potter and her drummer playing with Daryl Hall for Hall's online show, Live From Daryl's House. Daryl sits in to do doing vocal harmonies and play guitar. Enjoy!
