Pretty incredible song. No idea how to classify it, but it goes. Off An Awesome Wave (2012), music video footage from the crazy movie Powaqqatsi: Life in Transformation (1988)

Spoek Mathambo – Control
South African “vocalist/rapper/afro-futurist” Spoek Mathambo is on some cool, weird shit with this Joy Division cover. Posting this one mostly because the video’s amazing, but be sure to check out some of his other stuff ‘cuz there’s an enormous amount of variation in styles from one track to the next.

String Cheese Incident – Rivertrance (Live in Chicago, 12/10/2011)
It’s just about impossible to classify these guys as one genre of music, which is where the attraction is for me. This particular jam involves elements of rock, Irish jig, bluegrass, electronic music, all made more flavorful with some improvisation. Don’t be fooled by the “live”-ness of the video, it has soundboard-quality audio.
