Kanye West- Through The Wire
This song was released in 2003 and was on his debut album- The College Dropout. The song is about his near fatal car accident in 2002. At this time he was known mainly as a producer and was trying to prove he could be a rapper.
Fame and personal tragedy have certainly had their effect on Kanye over the past 10 years, but it’s still interesting to look back and see where it all began.

The Pharcyde- Drop
Another innovative video from Spike Jonze. The Pharcyde memorized the song in reverse so it would sync with the backwards video. From 1995, it also has some great shots of downtown Los Angeles and a cameo from Ad Rock and Mike D of the Beastie Boys.

The B-52’s- Legal Tender
DayGlo colors, big wigs, 1980’s video production values and a song about making counterfeit dollars all come together to equal awesome.

Beastie Boys- “Sabotage”
This video directed by Spike Jonze is one of the most iconic from the days when people watched a lot of music videos. From the costumes to the editing and direction this one never gets old.

I loved seeing M83 play on Sunday at the Hollywood Bowl. Singer Anthony Gonzalez brought such a lovely energy to the show. I can’t remember the last time an artist seemed so genuinely thrilled to be performing.
This song, Kim and Jessie, from the album Saturdays=Youth, wasn’t included in the show but I love it, so I thought I’d put it up this week.
