In 1989 a small record label Sub Pop Records 
From the Internet archives here is Tupac presenting with KISS at the 1996 Grammys.
Or you know, "back when music was GOOD back in my days." - Old man sitting on a rocking chair on his porch.
In June 9, 1997, Radiohead performed at Irving Plaza after the release of their album OK Computer. The band's guest list was a veritable Who's Who of that era.

From the internet time capsule, Depeche Mode performing "Enjoy the Silence," my favorite song of theirs on top of the World Trade Center Tower 2 in March 1990.
Kanye West just not giving a F.
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmBByDQHJAA] I know at this point we've exhausted "Oppa Gangnam Style" ad nauseam and there should be a permanent moratorium placed on all covers and parodies of this song (though truth be told I still act like this when it plays at the clubbbbs). That said, the above jazzy cover version stands up on its own. And with that I may or may not being seeing PSY live next Wednesday night...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=3n3HQ9uge0g#t=69s I can't believe I'm just finally getting around to seeing this music video tribute to the Asian youth and pop culture in the 626 area code of San Gabriel Valley to the sounds of Wiz Khalifa and Snoop Dogg's "Young, Wild, Free." It's pretty damn catchy. Who wants to collaborate on a response on behalf of 32nd and Broadway in New York City?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3niD0joGz-M This is a great video and cover of Neil Young's "Philadelphia" by the Seattle band Grand Hallway. It should have more than 5k views on YouTube.
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=HcYT8TzUarI] I don't like much of Vampire Weekend (Sorry, but it's true), but I do like their cover of Fleetwood Mac's "Everywhere" a lot. The takeaway is I like Fleetwood Mac.
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Thls_tMuFkc] Apropos of nothing but this song and performance is just A+.
Aspiring comic book illustrator Kurt Cobain before he was Kurt Cobain. In an alternate universe he grew up to be a successful artist without any demons and lived happily ever after.
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIcPCr1y18U] One of my favorite YouTube comics (who has a mean voice) David So and Paul Kim, another popular singer on YouTube takes the viewer on a journey of R&B music in this collaboration along with a jaw dropping surprise guest appearance around the 2:52 mark. After you watch this you will want to go to karaoke stat.
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=kSsYwd5REEI#t=32s] Music video for The Bullitts' "Supercool" starring a bewitching Rosario Dawson dancing on a London street corner. She is cooler than you.
Warren Buffett at the re-opening of Jay-Z's club 40/40 in NYC.
In case you weren't sure, Buffett's the (rich) bro on the left obvi. Also, why is AJ wearing a Harry Potter scarf?
[vimeo http://vimeo.com/35055590] Blogging nowadays feels like one long Human Centipede so you've probably already seen this because its been posted everywhere, but if not here's an impressive supercut from films stitched together to recreate Lionel Richie's masterpiece "Hello."
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Ty_nGqPLkTc#!} Charlie Brown's sad life made even sadder, yet poignant when soundtracked to Vega Choir's cover of Radiohead's "Creep." As a YouTube comment on this video smartly remarked: "SOPA/PIPA would mean this could never exist."
