Stone Temple Pilots- Trippin’ On A Hole In A Paper Heart
I was originally going to post this video in the coming weeks when Scott Weiland was supposed to play in Los Angeles. Sadly he passed away a week ago today (12/3/15).
This song is off Stone Temple Pilots third album Tiny Music…Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop which was released in 1996. The lyrics were written by Weiland and he also titled his 2011 autobiography Not Dead and Not for Sale.
Nicky da B- Hot Potato Style
While looking up information for the Mad Decent Block Party, I was saddened to discover that Nicky da B had recently died on September 2, at only 24 years old. The up and coming New Orleans bounce artist had his biggest hit with Diplo, in 2012, Express Yourself, and at the time of his death was working on a full length album with him. This video, also from 2012, was created by Bob Wiesz and Casey Coleman, who also worked on Beasts of the Southern Wild.
Nirvana- Son of a Gun
Nearly twenty years ago, on April 5th 1994, Kurt Cobain died. He was a huge fan of The Vaselines and covered a few of their songs, including Son of a Gun, Molly’s Lips and Jesus Doesn’t Want Me for a Sunbeam. This song and Molly’s Lips were included on Nirvana’s compilation album Incesticide.
Lou Reed- Perfect Day
One of my favorite songs. Lou Reed died yesterday at 71. RIP.
