Def Leppard: "Women" (live)

Hysteria was the first album I ever bought, and I still love it. And a live performance of "Women"? Yes.

Marnie Stern: "Transformer"

Matthew Harris: "She sings her sadness as if it were joy." So true.

Janelle Monae: "Tightrope" (live on Dancing with the Stars)

The editing/production on this is really weird! But Janelle, as always, is great.

Let's get a little mellow.

It's magic: in 2005, I couldn't find this episode of Beavis and Butthead anywhere other than our TiVo; today, it's trivial to find this segment on YouTube. And it's still funny!

My Chemical Romance: "Na Na Na"

I love it when I hear a song at exactly the right time, and that's what this feels like. (via KROQ via Maura)

Sleigh Bells: "Infinity Guitars" (video)

The new video for Sleigh Bells' "Infinity Guitars" is fantastic (via lizzyville.blogs.com).

Britta Persson: "Meet a Bear"

Britta Persson's Kill Hollywood Me was one of my favorite albums in 2008, so I'm super-excited about her new album, of which this--"Meet a Bear"--is the first single. (Download it here from her site.)

Roxy Music: "Re-make Re-model"

Of all the side one, track ones (in all the world, &c.), this has to be one of the weirdest, and one of the greatest.

The Chap: "Even Your Friend"

Ooh, a video for the best Chap song from their most recent album (and what is, totally, one of my votes for best summer jams).

Janelle Monáe: "Dance or Die" / "Faster"

I saw her at Cafe du Nord in San Francisco a couple of days before this show in Chicago; she was fantastic (though the set was sadly short).

But wow, I still just can't get over how talented she is.
