Song of the Day

If you’re not familiar with Crystal Method or Matisyahu, this song’s for you. Crystal Method has been around for a long time and you’ve probably heard their music in movies like Mortal Kombat or The Replacement Killers. I bought their first studio album Vegas back in the late 90′s and really enjoyed their stuff. Their music reminds me the band The Prodigy except not so dark, with less talking and more of a dance house electronic sound. Almost all of their songs would make a good soundtrack to an action sequence in any martial arts movie. They’ve put out 5 studio albums since 1997, about one every 3-4 years. Here’s their website.

The other artist, Matisyahu, is an American Hasidic Jewish reggae musician. This song is pretty removed from the sound of his regular genre. If you’re into reggae, or even if you’re not, check him out. Here’s some links to other songs of his on YouTube.
Kind Without a Crown
One Day

I really like the beat of this song when it gets into the chorus. And the video is produced with the same maximum contrast filter that you see in the film Sin City and the music video Go With the Flow by Queens of the Stone Age. I really enjoyed the cinematography of both works, and I think whoever made this one was probably involved in the making of those others too.

I got tired yesterday and didn’t post anything here on Song of the Day, so I’m thinking I’ll pack two more in between today and tomorrow.
