Welcome to the music thread where we share the cool shit we're listening to.
For now, how about this: Post one of your favorite live performances (late night talk shows, SNL, top of the pops, radio station appearance, npr tiny desk, etc). There's decades of really memorable performances on some of these shows. Sometimes they're a bit shit, but sometimes they're something special. My personal favorite is this early White Stripes performance on Letterman from 2002. The White Stripes were there to perform their biggest hit to date, "Fell in Love with a Girl", which they do, but they take a break before the third verse to dip into a rendition of "Little Room" -- A 30 second long album track that tackles the idea of limitations breeding creativity and success being the death of art in four lines.

Her youtube channel has a bunch of Shorts where she's just rocking out doing bass covers of Smashing Pumpkins and Nirvana and stuff in front of a faux-fisheye lens camera and it's pretty good.
Steam: Chagrin LoL: Bonhomie

Call To Arms on SNL. The band gets amped up just a tad.
Just absolute chaos from a band on top form
He learned to dance from Apollo Anton Ohno.
Mom just saying he looks like a speed skater
The whole Barracuda/Gates of Steel/We Got the Beat/Go Your Own Way/Linger/Teenage Dirtbag bit starting at 5:47 absolutely rules.
Few groups have the balls or rehearsal time/chops to do these things live, but when they do, I love it so. Here's prog supergroup Transatlantic (members of Spock's Beard, Dream Theater, Marillion, Flower Kings, etc...) doing the entire 70+ minutes of The Whirlwind from 2010:

This is going into my regular rotation.
And some that should remain in storage, like White Zombie's first TV appearance, with Rob doing the whitest dance this side of Klaus Meine.

Well now I HAVE to look this up
I haven't really gotten into their newest record yet, but most of their discography consistently great, and In Evening Air is an indie pop masterpiece.
It’s the kind of music I can just kind of chill and vibe too.
He’s doing the Ashlee Simpson jig!!!
I love the couple of cutaways to Sean pausing mid-headbang to stare daggers at him and wanting to shove her bass up his ass, cause he almost decked her in the face.

Dave talked to the Lemonheads not to play Mrs robinson but to instead play anything else
~ Buckaroo Banzai
He always knew how to straddle the line between funny/asshole.
Here's RVIVR tearing the place down:
Craig David mashing up Wild Thoughts and Music Sounds Better With You, again for Radio 1.
That's a venue fee, a service fee and then another service fee for the convenience of using my phone as a ticket. No option for physical tickets or emailed tickets was offered.
There's also a note that tickets will only be available through the app of the venue which "launches soon" which I need to sign in to using my Ticketmaster details and it'll create an account with the venue and.. Last time something like this popped up the ticket was available in the Ticketmaster app only because the "exclusive venue app" failed to launch in time for the gig.
Tempting
We got Sleep Token tickets for their Boston show but I was a week late so I had to buy through a reseller and I don't like thinking about the price.
It's one of like 3 bands my wife and I both really like though so we had to do it.
florence welch can't stop winning and I am glad for it
Beyoncé - 16 CARRIAGES
Taylor Swift - Good! Anyone who says she only sings about relationships hasn't listened to to anything other than her singles. She's got a much deeper catalog than I was expecting and some universal themes.
Eminem - Great! These songs are so lyrically dense with wordplay and metaphor and the such I had to actually listen to them without doing anything else. Which is something I can't say I've ever had to do before. A remarkable talent.
I played Kris Kristofferson the other day and the first eight songs were all Highwaymen stuff. Which is still good stuff, that even happened with Johnny Cash with some Highwaymen stuff being up first for him.

I put on The Donnas and after the initial riff of 'Take it Off', my daughter Ripley (6F) had eyes the size of dinner plates and just asked 'Who is this?!'
So we listened to The Donnas all afternoon and I preordered their upcoming vinyl for her.
