Thievery Corporation – Take My Soul video
Downtempo kings Thievery Corporation begin their three night sold out takeover of the 9:30 Club tonight. Sounds like a great reason to play another gorgeous video by the ESL bosses.

Thievery Corporation – Is it Over? video
As I said yesterday, it’s a busy weekend for cool events happening in DC. LivingSocial sponsors a big show at the Half Street Fairgrounds featuring Gogol Bordello, Michael Franti & Spearhead, local ESL artists The Funk Ark, The Archives and Congo Sanchez, and headliners Thievery Corporation. Tickets appear to still be available, and with beautiful weather and this amazing lineup, it’s totally worth it. Today we’ve got the beautiful and strange video for the track Is It Over? from Thievery’s 2011 album Culture of Fear.

Chuck Brown videos
DC music videos of the day! We’re all still reeling from yesterday’s loss of DC go-go godfather Chuck Brown. Like a few other local radio stations, yesterday Hometown Sounds played only Chuck Brown music to honor the legend. It seems fitting to repost a couple of videos we’ve run before. The first one, Chuck Baby, comes from his 2007 album We’re About The Business.
The second, Thievery Corporation‘s song The Numbers Game, from their 2008 album Radio Retaliation, really shows how much DC loved Chuck Brown.

Nowadays you’ll find Thunderball’s members cooking up sounds in Fort Knox Five, Liftoff, See-I and other groups on Fort Knox Recordings. Today’s video for the song Stereo Tonic goes back to Thunderball’s 2001 stylish & sexy album Scorpio Rising, and it’s directed by the sitar king Rob Myers. Fantastic!
