Jesse Cook Guitar

This is one of my favorite guitar songs. Cook is from the New Flamenco school of guitar.

War, What Is It Good For? 

It seems appropriate to use Jackie Chan's version of the 70's song War for my intereting video this week. 

For those who wish to continue in this theme, click here for Xena, the Warrior Princess, version of this song.

We Are Invincible, God Is The King

Another of my favorite songs. It is a little long, but well worth the time.

Opera Hip Hop

This is one of my favorite videos-even though I speak almost no Russian. The main singer is a well known, at least in Russia, opera singer named Nickolai Baskov. There are not too many opportunities to make opera videos, so Baskov is making the transition to being a Russian Pop Star.    
The story that is told is clear enough, in a vague sort of way. Baskov is jilted, killed and goes to hell. I suppose I appreciate the female form as well as the next guy, but to have scantily clad women dancing, without a perceivable story, does not make a good video. While there are scantily clad women in this video, at least they do not detract from the story.
