Beautiful video in its simplicity. This one's from The ArchAndroid (Suites II and III). I expect that Monáe will make more than one appearance here. In my opinion, she's the freshest act since, well... OutKast. This makes sense, considering much of her early national exposure was thanks to appearances on Big Boi's Got Purp? Vol. 2 and OutKast's Idlewild. Bonus points for the fact that she's from Kansas. Enjoy.

The The, "This Is the Day"
Today, we'll roll out The The, whom Maura once saw live as the opening act for Depeche Mode. The The blew them off the stage. Anyway, here's "This Is the Day." If you come across the "Disinfected Version" of this song, you might like it even better. Also, Matt Johnson might just possess the wickedest voice in all of Christendom.

Sonia Dada, "Lover (You Don't Treat Me No Good No More)"
Full disclosure: my uncle was the live sound guy for Sonia Dada for much of its existence. Also, I once put in a two-day stint as a roadie, driving through the night from Chicago to Des Moines, and back the next day. Personal biases aside, they were a phenomenal band... especially live. Enjoy!

Son House, "Death Letter Blues"
Yesterday at boxed out, I broke the sound barrier with my layman's tribute to the White Stripes. Rather than allowing the blog to become more of a goulash than it already is, I decided to set up shop here. Once a day (hopefully), a different song will find its way to this site. We'll kick things off with the original version of the White Stripes song that ended yesterday's post. Enjoy.
