Amy Winehouse - Love Is A Losing Game (Live at SXSW 2007)
Truly beautiful rendition of this song.
Johnny Cash - Hurt
I would never have expected Johnny Cash to cover a song by Trent Reznor and I guess we can thank Rick Rubin for this. Quite powerful.
Nine Inch Nails - Hurt
Trent Reznor, performing with various lineups as Nine Inch Nails (NIN), is a truly amazing performer and songwriter. If you are unfamiliar with his work, the above live performance of Hurt will give you a sense of why Johnny surprised me with his cover.
The Chemical Brothers - Block Rockin' Beats
Good Morning, World!
New York Clip 11 - Subway Skating
I'm contemplating merging Flux Music videos into a Video Break category and nixing the imminent launch of Flux Cats. Or not. I'm kind of winging it at the moment!
In any case, this video is pretty darn wild. The skating's not that out of the ordinary except for the fact it's in the subway and kind of nuts given that environment.
Frank Ocean - Swim Good
Frank Ocean represents a new generation of R&B singers that's breathing some life into a well-established genre. His relationship with the controversial Odd Future collective earned him widespread attention but I think he'll be holding his own long-term.
Mistah F.A.B. freestyles at Occupy Oakland Video Shoot
I'm starting a Flux Music section to post music videos I'm enjoying for whatever reason. Sort of an entertainment break!
Found the above Mistah F.A.B. video via Boots Riley on Twitter.
