Hibernation Sickness

You know what today needs? Some shoegaze! So from the glorious musical year of 1992 comes Catherine Wheel with their classic “I Want to Touch You.” Enjoy!

Billy Ocean, “Loverboy”

I realize that I post this about once every six months, but that’s only because it is the greatest music video ever made.

Concrete Blonde, “Ghost of a Texas Ladies Man.”

Ignatius Jones, “Like a Ghost.”

Terrific new wave/post-punk creepiness.

Ministry, “Everyday Is Halloween.”

Iggy Pop (with Kate Pierson), “Candy.”

Bow Wow Wow, “I Want Candy.”

31 Days of Halloween: Day 30: The Cure, “Lullaby.”

Aimee Mann pokes fun at her musical past with the video for “Labrador,” a remake of the infamous clip of ‘Til Tuesday’s “Voices Carry.” It comes complete with a cameo from Jon Hamm, who seems determined to keep reminding everyone that he is the coolest dude ever. Mann’s new album, Charmer, hits stores today. Those with discerning musical taste should pick it up.

In honor of the totally unexpected (yet completely welcome) news that Kitchens of Distinction are reforming, here’s the clip for the band’s great 1992 single “Smiling.”
