You-Tubin'! - luther
I have to admit that, of late, I cannot seem to log onto the internet without finding some way to watch a stupid, crazy, or depraved video on Youtube, the eighth wonder of the world. But, aside from useless crap, this medium also affords us the opportunity to fill in the gap left by MTV in the late 90's, when they abandoned the pursuit of presenting music all together, by giving us access to music videos, many that would neeeeever make it onto any form of MTV anyway, and concert footage. The bond between sight and sound might actually be getting a foothold again.
Here are some of the live bits that I've been enjoying lately, and can help us put a face and a little ass shakin' to those voices we know so well.
Beck - Hell Yes on MTV : 
I have no idea how the public can like someone so good for so long, but he still sells out those tours and makes the indie chicks and cheerleaders swoon in unison. This just proves that hes still got it, and I have to watch all the recent footage I can get since I missed his last tour (which come around about every five years or so). The best live performer playing today.
Midlake - Live at Hailey's Denton, clip :
I took this video as an experiment with my new camera (which is already broken) and it turned out shockingly good sounding. It sort of captures the elation of their shows, and, though short, illustrates the skill and talent that is gonna carry this band all the way to the top.
Uffie - Live at Ourdisco, Great Britain :
This is one of the coolest Uffie videos I've found. It's got she and Feedz showing just how they do it hot with the kids who know whats up over in Europe, where the reception seems to draw more people than the videos I've seen from the US.
Spankrock - Live in McCarren :
This is actually a pretty cool length of footage that sort of shows the off-the-hook-edness of Spank Rock, with his larger than life persona and exaggerated gestures. He seems out of place not in a smoky den of sweat and swinging hands, but those don't make for very good home movies.
