Video of the Week: Guster Cover a Fan’s Cover Video of Their Song

For non-fans of the band Guster, we apologize that this blog has been so Gustercentric lately. It’s just that they keep doing cool shit and we feel the need to tell you about it.

On the other hand, since we think this is one of the most unfairly overlooked bands around, perhaps we shouldn’t apologize for beating the drum for them so insistently.

In this case, the merry pranksters came across a fan’s tribute cover of their song on YouTube, choreographed a cover of the cover video, then stalked the fan a bit until they got in touch with a friend who surprised him with Guster’s version.

Video of the Week: The Incomparable Nicholas Brothers

Brothers Fayard and Harold Nicholas a.k.a. the Nicholas Brothers formed one of history’s greatest and most beloved dance teams, rising from the nightclub circuit to a successful career on the big screen.

The above scene is from their personal favorite of their over 30 films, 1943’s Stormy Weather. And it just may be the greatest dance routine ever filmed. They come in at 1:30.

Among those the Nicholas brothers later gave dancing instruction to: Janet and Michael Jackson.

Video of the Week: Terry Kath and Vintage Chicago Tear Up ’25 or 6 to 4′ in 1970

If you’re one of those wondering why the band who sang “Hard to Say I’m Sorry” was just elected to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, I submit Exhibit A.

In their heyday, Chicago smoked. And lead guitarist Terry Kath was breathtaking.

Robert Lamm wrote the song. Peter Cetera sang it. But as Lamm acknowledges at the song’s end, it’s Terry Kath’s showcase.

Know what makes Rock and Roll great? The fact that a song about sitting around a recording studio doing nothing can sound this exhilarating.
