Post your unlikely You Tube finds....

...live clips of bands/artists you would never usually give the time of day, or guilty/secret pleasures.

here's mine to start, I think think this is great, the formula probably is:

(pretty good throwaway pop song + great vocal performance + benefit of a great live band + intimate setting) - obvious cheesiness = I likes it.

You'll need to fast forward to 1:35 to avoid the chat.

Pink, playing "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You"... she sings it really well, and her guitarist is superb. Around 4 minutes in he goes into a big solo... wow.

Affecting song, effectively performed, mainly by the other members of Bruce Springsteen's band

My guilty pleasure is Korean indie/singer-songwriters. and I don't mean awful K-Pop.
The quality of song writing, performance and recording is extraordinary. Probably down to their strong education and work ethic. If you can look past the language barrier (and Korean is a beautiful language) and listen to the music you'll be amazed.

Park Sae Byul (박새별) is one of my favourite songwriters and she is capable of harmonic composition that Quincy Jones would be blown away by.

Check out: "Things disappear" from her new album... a real Pat Metheny vibe going on:

And 'Is This Love'.. Her vocal harmony arrangements that kick in as the song progresses are just bloody amazing!

Oh and the guitar version I guess.. (you have to watch the original first, if you have been living in a box for the last 5 years and haven't seen it, that is)
