Black Flag’s Damaged album came out January 23, 1982. Here’s a live performance of “Six Pack” from that era.
Goddamn. And if you aren’t following New Wave Time Warp what the hell are you doing?

Today was a good day.
Method Man, U-God and Masta Killah of the Wu-Tang Clan freestyling to Tyler, the Creator’s “Yonkers” on Tim Westwood’s show. Absolutely insane.

UPDATE: I’m being told that this video is not dubbed, and that all the music is in fact coming from him.
Arvo Pärt’s Symphony No. 3 (1971).
Pärt is a fascinating composer — Beethoven-esque in that he straddles two eras. His early works are decidedly serialist but after some political and creative problems, he went silent for six years. When he came back, he’d developed a new style, language even: tintinnabuli based on his study of chant and choral music.
Symphony No. 3 is a transitional work, completed just before the aforementioned silent period. You’ll hear a little bit of everything in the above first movement — even the octatonic “Russian” scale.
Arvo Pärt’s Fratres. Gil Shaham’s violin is a real treat here.
I was trying to find a voice clip of Alpha 5 from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers uttering his “ayeyaiyaiyaiyaiyai” catchphrase when I stumbled across this piece of music that I had previously repressed from my memory.
Here for your supreme enjoyment is the hopefully probably fictional “Power Jet” with “Ayeyaiyai (Alpha Song)” from the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie: Original Soundtrack Album.
