Florence Welch gave the best musical performance I've ever seen on SNL this past weekend... just, wow.

DJ Revolution, "The Cut"

Beat Box Set from The Cut on Vimeo.

DJ Revolution gets down with The Bridge (Serato integrated with Ableton) to present another tasteful orchestration of turntablism and musicology.

Lemolo: In Black and White

Lemolo: In Black & White from Sound on the Sound on Vimeo.

The fantastic Seattle music blog, Sound On The Sound, has made me a routine visitor for many reasons, if not solely for their intimate in-studio recordings captured in romantic black-and-white cinematography.  Many of these bring the raw talent of the artists out as much as any recording can.  This two-song set by Lemolo is an excellent example.  For another taste, check another recent post here.

Oh, and Meagan Grandall, if you happen upon this... will you marry me?

Karmin, "6 Foot 7 Foot" cover

I always wanted some kind of chorus on this track and, well, there you go. Girl kills the verses, can sing and is kinda pretty.
