Jam of the Day – You Can Vote However You Like

As you may know if you live in NYC, since Bloomberg has spent an inordinate amount of money to publicize his campaign for a third term as mayor, today is Election Day. So listen to these kids from Ron Clark Academy in Atlanta as they remake T.I.’s “Whatever You Like” with some get-out-the-vote lyrics. The video was sent around all over last year for the Presidential election, so the references are (obviously) a bit dated, but the message is still clear: No matter who you support, get out there are vote!

Jam of the Day – CMJ Wrap Up Video #3

Montreal four-piece Beast put on a really energetic and tight live show at The Studio at Webster Hall last Friday night. As the first band playing the AM Only Showcase that night, not many people were there for their show, but this didn’t stop them from going hard with their particular Portishead-meets-Rage-Against-the-Machine stylings. Plus, dude has a keyboard on his bass! Here’s a video of their last song of the night, “Out of Control,” from their 2008 self-titled release.

Jam of the Day – CMJ Wrap Up Video #2

Here’s another video from the Levi’s/Fader Fort CMJ Showcase at the Ace Hotel’s Liberty Hall, with Pill rocking Junior MAFIA’s “Get Money” and then throwing some dollar bills in the air during the a cappella outro. Was that like $12?

Jam of the Day – CMJ Wrap Up Video #1

We were lucky over the last week to catch a lot of great shows while CMJ was in town. Here is a highlight brought to you from our EV2BK Youtube channel. We caught a killer set from Florence and the Machine at the Fader show at Liberty Hall at the Ace Hotel. This stripped-down version of “The Drumming Song” was so captivating that I almost liked it more than the recorded version.
