6. Saint Alvia Cartel – “Blonde Kryptonite”, A bit of a plug. I have to admit…a friend of a friend worked on the video. Gotta support the kids in the industry, but seriously the song is catchy and the video is well done. I love good poster art.
5. Tokyo Police Club – “In a Cave”, It’s almost embarrassing how much I like this band. Straight up pop music for the masses. The production company for this video is called “Balloon Shop”, I wonder why?
4. Beastie Boys – “Check It Out”, This is from the memory vault, I’m pretty sure this is from 2004. I’m a huge fan of good “Steadicam” work and this is amazing, from the subway to the stage. No synching kids, this is live, you can tell by the flubs.
3. Kaki King – “Pull Me Out Alive”, This is terribly catchy, which I am a sucker for. I’m surprised I haven’t heard more about this girl, she’s played with the Foo Fighters, Tegan and Sara and Tortoise. That’s right music geeks, I said Tortoise.
2. Man Man – “Mister Jung Stuffed”, These guys are bizarre, their albums are named after 80’s movies like “Big Trouble in Little China” and they wear war paint on stage. They get described as playing “manic gypsy jazz”, which is pretty cool. And, hey, a cool animated video, go figure…
1. The Black Hollies – “Paisley Pattern Ground”, I was raised on psychedelic rock, thanks Dad (even though I still don’t really like Vanilla Fudge). Even their album covers are throw backs to the 60’s. These guys are big with the Ben Sherman wearing, Vespa scooter riding, latte drinking mod crowd, but I still like them. They have pictures of bacon and blue cheese on their MySpace.

Kyle’s Six Pix Vol. 1
Jul 27, 2008 Beastie Boys, End Program, Kanye West, Loney Dear, The Go! Team, They Might Be Giants
When Kyle was asked over a year ago to start sharing his vast music knowledge with the world, who knew it would grow into this. An entire blog dedicated to Kyle’s Six Pix. He has earned it and I hope he keeps it up for many years and all of you can add new music to your daily lives.
Don’t mind the migration of posts over to the new digs. There are 49 volumes to tranfer over so it could take awhile. Besides this site is not going to be advertised until it is ready but I better explain for all the snoopers that may come across the blog before the big launch day.
Enjoy the post that started it all.
