It's hard to outdo the overwhelming badassery of Aesop Rock's " ZZZ Top " video, pretty much just a full-length martial arts brawl, but the ferocious punk rock ballet dancers of the new "Cycles To Gehanna" video make it closer than you'd expect. Ben and Pete Lee direct with classic B-movie panache. Watch it below. Read More...

Ben Folds has had himself quite a prolific career. The world first became familiar with his quirky brand of alternative piano-rock through his band with Robert Sledge and Darren Jessee, Ben Folds Five . After their three albums and a rarities compilation, Folds went on to add three more LPs and and an equal number of EPs to his catalog under his own name.

Oldie but a goodie that I just recently heard once again and have been playing it nonstop like it was a brand new song all over again. If you follow this site then you probably know that I am sucker for covers , especially acoustic covers that really expand upon the vibe of the original track at hand. And this cover of Modest Mouse's "Float On" by Ben Lee makes this song so laid-back and relaxing it literally feels like you are in the middle of a dream while listening to it. [...]

I should preface this post by saying if you don't have a Daytrotter account, you should really go and get one. It will only set you back $2 per month, which is such a small amount to pay for access to thousands of Daytrotter Sessions. We love Daytrotter. You should love Daytrotter, too.

If Ben Lee soundtracked my life, I just know [...]

Various voices, mostly Australian, reveal the content of their dreams, both mundane and fantastical. And on the title track that follows, Lee offers up a kind of mission statement: "Have you ever woken from a dream and convinced yourself you remember it / In the morning?"...
