I would also like to add that the people at Pitchfork are (still) jerks.

From Fader comes a ‘documentary’ on Wavves which is actually like a 7 minute interview that ends with the camera just literally looking away from Nathan and the band. I think it’s kind of meant to show that he’s just a kid playing music and fucking around, but it kinda comes off like he’s a prick but I guess, who cares, really if you like the music? And I do, but stilllll, maybe keep this shit in? I dunno.

This is hands down my favorite song on the album, but the Pixar video creeps me out a little.

Hello, we’ve got a very pressing public service announcement for you. tUnE-yArDs are playing the Echo. On March 18th. If I had no where else to be, I swear to god nothing could keep me from seeing her live again. She was the first of probably less than five 10/10 gigs I will see this year. Do yourself a favor and see them opening up for Xiu-Xiu. You won’t regret it.

Our hats off to the guys/gals over at the Daily Habit for these Growlers (and Soft Pack ones, too, those are coming) videos – every time I check, there seems to be another excellent performance. Enjoy this take on ‘Something Someone Jr.’ one of my favorite live Growler songs. The reverb is spot on.

Here’s an awesome video from LA Underground showing my new favorites BEST COAST performing at Los Angeles’ Ricardo Montalban Theatre. I would like to acknowledge the awesomeness of Best Coast and this song by posting this video, but also to show my surprise at what it looks like normally! I say normally, because once upon a time, in November 2008, Colette and I went there to see the Strange Boys and on the stage was about 40 people playing dodgeball – like, really quick and the people were super into it, and the Strange Boys were playing in the first row. So now seeing BC up there on a normal stage, it seems like a sweet little weird place to see a gig. I LOVE THIS SONG btw.

Ugh god, LOVE them! Was in the Prince Albert in Brighton last night and saw the cutest artwork they did for the place and just reminded me how excited I am to see them at the NME tour.

I hope everybody watched this last night. Such a beautiful performance from ol’ Neil for the funniest man on television.
