This just in...

New Corocodiles Video! They're also from San Diego. They're not so much with the public meltdowns scene but they still kill it.

"I would smoke the surfboard, I wouldn't take it in the water. It's made of weed."

Wavves "No Hope Kids" from Pete Ohs on Vimeo.

I love Wavves. I think Nathan and Ryan are on to something, lo-fi revival aside. Everyone loves to talk shit about Wavves because Nathan is young and likes to smoke weed and writes songs on Garage Band using only 3 chords. The reason Wavves is so popular is because despite the horrible sounding description it's the fact that he's young and stoned and write songs on a computer that makes Wavves so good. Then, there's the whole Spain situation. Yeah, Nathan talked shit about Spain and discussed California's superiority (very true things), but it was also a Festival show! Wavves' set time was 2:20 AM! Pitchfork and all the other music jerks acted like Animal Collective had just said they were bigger than Jesus. Sure Nathan's a mess, but he's also a kid. If he can write songs this good as young and as stoned all the time as he is, imagine what he'll do when he puts the pipe and the pills down. I also love how hipsters will interview Nathan and then get angry at Wavves popularity. Anyway, this is the video for No Hope Kids off of Wavvves. This was kind of ranty.

Wavvves is out now on Fat Possum

Weekenders

It's only Tuesday but since it's finals it feels like it's barely Sunday.
This Saturday Telepethe is playing at the Smell with Abe Vigoda and some other bands. Someone named Heather Gram is DJing. That's actually really clever. We were going to to go see Abe Vigoda last Saturday at one of those Vice parties where they give you free Colt 45 for 2 hours, but ended up skipping it. Telepathe seems like they're too big for the smell, no?
This weekend though, we're definately going to hit up the Viceland Summer Bender. The Soft Pack are playing- they used to be The Muslims, they're O.K. No Age is doing a DJ set. I wonder if they're going to play any Child Pornography. Or Laco$te. Ha ha ha ha ha. Are those jerks still alive?

Gaze into...THE ABYSS!

This is a crazy ass video! Yeah, it's 8 months late and this was totally the banger last summer but it's still a good video. Kids and monsters and Joanna Newsom (thankfully keeping her mouth shut). I feel bad for the kid, he's gonna be wetting his bed 'til college. Worth it, though.

Bill, killed.

Sure by know you've all heard about David Carradine being found dead in Bangkok. Apparently it was auto-erotic asphyxiation (masturbating while choking yourself or having someone else choke you) so as soon as they find the prostitute that the 72 year old Carradine was with, he/she (i mean he or she not he-she. although...) can clear everything up.
For the record, that's:

1. Coco Taylor

2. David Carradine

3. ???

Better light a candle for Farrah Fawcett, y'all.

Feel good blog of the summer

What is Isabella up to?

Even my niece has a blog and she's not even done teething! Her first post is glamour shots of herself which is kind of vain but i can appreciate it.
