Friday Vibes Video: Liars
Another week of lies from our president. What better time to partake in the Liars’ excellent new track (and video for), “Mess on a Mission,” the chorus of which begins, “Facts are fact and fiction’s fiction.”
Friday Vibes Video: Whitney Houston
I have no idea where time’s been going lately. I do know, however, that today’s the insignificant 33rd anniversary of Whitney Houston’s very significant breakthrough onto the Billboard chart: it was on this date in 1985 that the singer first reached #1, with “Saving All My Love for You.”
As a bonus, I’ve included Houston’s second number one single, the equally incomparable “How Will I Know,” after the jump.
Friday Vibes Video: Wiz Khalifa/Lil Skies
Few videos say “Friday” like Wiz Khalifa and Lil Skies’ recent collabo, “Fr Fr.”
Have great weekends, y’all!
Friday Vibes Video: Le Tigre
I wanted something to capture the anger of this whole stinking Brett Kavanaugh thing, but also something poppy, because, you know, it’s still technically Friday, right? So, anyway: Le Tigre, “Deceptacon,” 1999. See you later…
Friday Vibes Video: GnR, ‘November Rain’
Friday Vibes Videos are typically poppy and boisterous, but his week’s been looong, and today also happens to be the 27th anniversary of Guns N’ Roses Use Your Illusion I hitting the billboard charts, so I’ve gone a different direction with “November Rain.”
It’s a depressing track, sure, but, I mean, it’s also so great and there’s Stephanie Seymour and Slash’s solo and just… everything. Have good weekends, all!
Friday Vibes Video: Jeannie C. Riley
On this date 50 years ago, country singer Jeannie C. Riley went number one with her instant classic “Harper Valley PTA,” a lyrical rebuke against gossiping, trash talking, shade throwing and general small mindedness. The track and the no nonsense narrative haven’t aged a day.
Have good weekends!
Friday Vibes Video: Led Zeppelin
Today’s a special day in music history: It’s the 50th anniversary of the first time the Led Zeppelin we know and love performed together, in 1968, at a spot called Teen Club in Denmark.
Of course, back then they were called The New Yardbirds, an updated version of a band called the Yardbirds that changed its name when Jimmy Page came aboard in 1966.
Internal factions led members to come and go, and it wasn’t until 1968 that John Paul Jones, Robert Plant and John Bonham came aboard, rounding out the magic mix that soon took the world by storm — under a new name, a play on “lead balloon,” thanks to a cease and desist letter from a former Yardbird.
Anyway, here’s Led Zeppelin with “Immigrant Song,” from a 1972 show. The footage is… lively.
Friday Vibes Video: Anderson .Paak
There are a few more hours of work, but let’s start getting in the weekend mindset with Anderson .Paak’s infectious single, “Bubblin'”.
Friday Vibes Video: The Carters
I can’t get enough of the “APES**T” video.
Beyoncé and Jay-Z are just so hella talented, beautiful and successful. Love all of this: the track, the art, the fashion, Bey’s moves… TGIF, y’all!
