Back in October I posted a pretty fresh video for this record that included some teckdeck action. Now the good folks at RSE rolled out an alternate version of the video. Dope. If you haven’t already, show support and cop that When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold! Shouts to Christian Hansen on the direction.

After countless posts of live performances of this record, I finally get to put up the official video for Atmosphere’s single off When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold. If you don’t have this album (or any other one of their albums) you need to hit yourself with a spiked bat (or something to that effect).

Everyone that frequents 2dbz knows that I’m a huge Atmosphere fan. Sluggo is one of my favorite emcee (interchanges with Hov on occasion) of all time. With that said, here goes their recent performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Performing the chorus to You which then tranfsorms into Yesterday from their album, When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold. Also, whoodini69 was at the taping and managed to get some footage of them performing GodLovesUgly which I included after the jump. You should be getting performance footage from the Shake soon as I’ll be seeing them this weekend at the House of Blues. UPDATE: Added a few other songs they performed (Trying to Find a Balance, Sunshine & In Her Music Box)

Trying to Find a Balance

Sluggo and ANT perform You during their appearance on the Late Show w/ David Letterman this past Wednesday. I’m so glad they dropped the last chick that sang the hook when he was on Conan (leave it to Slug to call my foolish’ness and inform me it’s the same chick. She just toned it down while POS came through as well). You already know Lemons still gets play from me. And followig their sold out When Life Gives You Lemons, you Paint Your City Gold Tour, Atmosphere are getting back on the road for an externded Paint the Nation Tour this fall.

Atmosphere was the special music guest on Conan last night. I had planned on watching it but got myself caught up in watching Knocked Up. Luckily YouTube is the shit and someone came through with a recording haha. Check as they perform You off their latest album that I promo’d to death, When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold.
