What’s that? You say you need an excuse not to work…?

This ought to keep you busy for awhile: the as-snarky-as-they-wanna-be PitchforkMedia.com have taken it upon themselves to scour YouTube and compile a list of 100 Awesome Music Videos, complete with the link to each one.

I’m sure we’ll all have our favorites, but I have to give rare props to the site (I generally loathe their hipper-than-thou writing style) not only for including Journey’s “Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)” but for calling out the guy playing air keys.

Also, someone should call David Hasselhoff’s agent; his cover of “Hooked On A Feeling” is cheesy enough to begin with, but the video – which appears to have about the same budget as those “Make Your Own Video!” booths they have at most amusement parks – is…well, if you don’t go watch it right now, you’re missing the biggest laughs you’re likely to get all day.

Deep Cuts: The Replacements

With a new “best of” compilation hitting the shelves this week (notice it’s not being dubbed “greatest hits”), the fabled Replacements reunion is as close to reality as ever. There are two new songs included which resulted from a brief studio session last year between Westerberg, Stinson, Mars, and longtime touring drummer Josh Freese. Considering their proximity to age 50, one can only imagine that their once-fanatical live shows will likely be tamer. Although having seen Westerberg solo several times over the past decade, I wouldn’t expect to see three guys in rocking chairs and argyle sweaters, either.

So greatest hits be damned! Here are the Deep Cuts from one of the most prolific underground college bands to never really get known…

Super Furry Animals: “The Horn”

Granted, after eight albums, I’m a little late to jump on the Super Furry Animals’ tiny bandwagon, but their new(est) disc, Love Kraft, is pretty damn good, and “The Horn” is the most accessible single of the bunch. “Psyclone!” and “Zoom” are the other big highlights, but the whole album, consisting of less SFA psychedelia and more pop, is pretty solid.

Check out some song clips here.
