Here's my jaw-dropper episode about Björk's 2001 release "Vespertine." Unfortunately, Warner Music Group (and maybe Universal Music Group) have blocked the original version because I included short excerpts (between 20 and 40 seconds) that highlight and substantiate my commentary. Nevertheless, here's a version with all my talking parts and whatever music I could get away with. Hopefully you'll still find it enjoyable.

The jaw-dropper series highlights music that made my jaw drop when I first heard it. This episode is about Björk's 2001 masterpiece, Vespertine.

What do you think about this album? Is it a favorite of yours, too?

What do you think about Björk in general?

What do Pat Metheny and Dillinger Escape Plan have in common? Turns out, the answer is Pat's 1994 noise rock release, "Zero Tolerance for Silence." This crazy album was both critically praised and panned. Let's learn why.

Pat Metheny goes way beyond his signature jazz guitar tone. In this video, we'll dip our toes into some of his most avant garde moments.

Thanks to Gregg Bendian for his excellent contributions to this video.

If you think "prog" means weird time signatures, long songs, epic instrumental solos, and virtuosity, then Béla Fleck's new bluegrass album might be the prog album of the year.

The Bird and The Bee are a Los Angeles-based indie pop duo featuring Inara George on vocals + bass and Greg Kurstin on keys. They have been producing fantastic music since 2007.

In this video, I talk about why their first album was a jaw-dropper and walk through some of the strange chords in the opening track, "Again and Again."

Tally Hall's "Good Day" music video blew my mind when it came out in 2010 and still amazes me today. Find out why!

Calculating Infinity (1999) by The Dillinger Escape Plan is one of the most brain-bending, brutal albums I've ever heard. It's a no-holds-barred tornado of complexity, angst, and genre-defying musicianship. You can hate it, you can love it, but you can't ignore it.

Laurie Anderson's "Bright Red" features a song called "The Puppet Motel," which has terrified me since I was 12 years old. Listen and tell us what you think.

Chris Cornell’s 1999 debut solo album “Euphoria Mourning” was a game-changing record for me. Cornell changed my appreciation for songwriting and vocal performance. What an amazing musician. His death was a terrible loss for the world. What are your thoughts on the album?

Buke and Gase's "Scholars" was released in early 2019 and blew me away on my first listen. Check out this innovative and excellent work of art at BukeAndGase.Bandcamp.com

Man Man's "Six Demon Bag" album dropped my jaw within the first few seconds of hearing it. Amazingly creative and fun. Great production and recording. Completely uninhibited.

At first, I thought Henry Cow's "Western Culture" was the worst "music" I'd ever heard. It took me years to appreciate and understand its musical complexity and richness. It's not an album you can be indifferent about, so do you love it or hate it?

Mr. Bungle's "Disco Volante" is the second disc in this Jaw Droppers series that I want to highlight. It's an incredible album with many twists and turns, lots of diversity, and incredible creativity. A lot of people hate it.

"Animal Lover" by The Residents is one of the most terrifying albums I've ever heard. I wanted to make a video about it as the first in a new series called "Jaw Droppers," in which we go into detail about albums that've left us slack-jawed.
