The Daily Sabbatical

This is for Pedro and Ana.

This song and this video are the complete shit. Check out the rollerskating! Right on! Thanks to DJ ZOO for exposing me to this one!

One of my favorite bands of all time is back playing live shows.  First the Pixies, now My Bloody Valentine?  What have I done to deserve this?  Now, if only Slint would reform for a live show…oh wait, they did.
It’s silly to think MBV can be captured on video cam, but someone tried it and it doesn’t sound all that bad.

With two excellent albums under his belt, hopes are high for Chad VanGaalen’s third, Soft Airplane. Judging from this video, illustrated by CVG, these tunes will once again come from Grimm lands. Good stuff.

Since this album came out in March, and the web is packed with thoughtful reviews about these guys, I won’t bother. Let me just say this is one of the best albums of the year. This song has Cure-ish moments, but don’t let that fool you. It’s all about the rhythms. Thanks to Eric Greenwood for making me notice these guys.

If this doesn’t make you happy, you’ve got issues.

I love Barack, but this is fucking hilarious.
