Rage Against the Machine - Live at the Republican National Convention)

Michael Reyes — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 00:00:00 EDT

When the police (predictably) shut down Rage Against the Machine's performance at the Republican National Convention, lead singer Zack de la Rocha took a megaphone for a mini-acapella concert. Considering RatM gets shut down for inciting riots among potheads and drunkards, did they think that the RNC wouldn't try to shut them down?

The National - Fake Empire (Barack Obama ad)

Michael Reyes — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 00:00:00 EDT

We don't like being partisan at the Daily Tube, but if we had to make an educated guess, we don't think Sarah Palin's ever heard of the National or listened to their excellent album Boxer. So, sorry Republicans, but musically? Democrats FTW.

Hot Chip - Wrestlers

In this downtempo track, Hot Chip get dirty in love with no gloves on, sweating in garbage bags and taking their moves from the WWF. We even get a surprise appearance by LCD Soundsystem's jujitsu master (no joke) James Murphy getting ready for the slaughter. Love ain't for weaklings...

Fleet Foxes - White Winter Hymnal (La Blogotheque's Take Away Show)

Fleet Foxes recently performed for La Blogotheque on a dark summer night followed by The Dodos, Vandaveer, Essie Jaine, and Noah And The Whale. Though they are unfortunately vocally joined by some of the surrounding crowd, it's still a lovely umkempt version of their song.

Brandy - Right Here (Departed)

Michael Reyes — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 00:00:00 EDT

It's been four years since Brandy's last album Afrodisiac, but the award-winning R&B singer is back with her much-better-named album Human. Maybe they stopped filming her long enough to remember she's a singer.

Ra Ra Riot - Ghost Under Rocks (Live on Conan O'Brien)

Ra Ra Riot performed their newly released single on the Conan show, demonstrating their singular approach to indie rock through their instrumentation, delicateness and thoughtfulness.

Cazwell ft. Johnny Makeup - I Seen Beyonce at Burger King

If you haven't heard of Cazwell, it's probably cuz you're not gay. With a video released two years ago for his explicit single All Over Your Face from his album Get Into It, this single is finally being released now. If EMINEM were gay, this would probably be him...which makes us wonder how awesome it would be if they ever battled!
