Looking for something to watch?

Here the entire webcast from the recent Radiohead show in London, in a teeny little club. Check it out. The audio quality is great.



This is also the first time I've seen some of these new YouTube features. Finally they've figured out how to link videos together onscreen, so you don't have to select them. They also play back-to-back.

New Bat For Lashes Video

Here's a new video I spotted over on Dick Darlington. He's right, this is great stuff -- a must for any fan of BMX. :)



Man, this one takes me back. Does anyone remember the old Nintendo cart called "California Games"? The BMX level? Man that was the shit. I was pro at that level and the hacky sack. Never could get down the half pipe level though -- that was nearly impossible. Rollerskating was another favorite.

A Pretty Great New Beirut Video

For the songs "Forks & Knives" off the new album.

Animal Collective: "Peacebone"

"Why again do people like this band?" That's been my primary impression of Animal Collective since purchasing their Here Comes the Indian album on a recommendation. That was both scary, and really really boring. Noise collages just aren't for me.

But, their new album, Strawberry Jam is nice and accessible -- almost campy for a band that has enjoyed most of their success on the predication that they are difficult to listen too, and therefore uniquely hardcore in their own right. Anyway, the new album isn't quite easy listening, but's a real gem of modern psych-rock. There's definitely a quirky, circus-style Beach Boys-thing, with a wall of electronic noise happening throughout the disc.

Here's the first track off the album, called "Peacebone". If you like this song, you will like Strawberry Jam.
