Warpaint, "Keep It Healthy" (Live on KEXP)

Iron Butterfly, "In-a-Gadda-da-Vida"

In the Garden of Eden...

The Black Ryder, "Sweet Come Down"

MGMT, "Kids"

Karen O with Jason Grisell, "Duet"

Finally!  A YouTube clip of music from Karen O's Stop the Virgens.  Here is a beautiful acoustic version of "Duet", recorded for Triple J Studios in Australia.  After a limited run last fall here in Brooklyn, the production opened recently at the Sydney Opera House.

Kenny Rogers & The First Edition, "Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)"

The Zombies, "She's Not There"

Classic... particularly the fantastic solos on the Hohner Pianet.

The Brian Jonestown Massacre, "Straight Up and Down"

From Take It from the Man, here's a song I hadn't heard till last week (though it's been out 15 years). Thanks to the comment section on Ta-Nehisi Coates' blog... a gold mine, as usual.  Sounds to be very much a descendant of the Velvet Underground. Enjoy!
