I have a strange appreciation for videos that have characters who break into freestyle dance moves in everyday environments (see Footloose and Flight of The Conchords). I am also very fond of The Presets. Check out The Presets' new music video for "If I Know You" and enjoy.

Beautiful Losers is a documentary that celebrates the spirit behind one of the most influential cultural moments of a generation, and tells the personal stories of like-minded outsiders rooted in the DIY subcultures of skateboarding, surf, punk, hip-hop, and graffiti of the early 1990s. Developing their craft with almost no influence from the "establishment" art world, the artists featured in the film include Shepard Fairey, Margaret Killgallen, Harmony Korine, Barry McGee, and Mike Mills, among others.

The tradition of splitting a 7" has been the indie band equivalent of a friendship necklace for ages, and the guys of Swim Party and Writer are taking the symbol to a new level. They've shared numerous stages since they met a year and a half ago but on Friday, the two bands will become one and share not only a stage, but a setlist. To celebrate the release of their split 7" record, the two bands have been hitting the practice room together to arrange all of their songs as a six-piece superband.
Swim Party drummer Petro has played a role in recording both bands' latest releases and the 7" project is the manifestation of his request to record a full song by Writer. The two new songs were recorded at his home studio, then sent off to be pressed on white vinyl with some beautiful artwork by Love, Christine. And since both bands have an equal part in the project, it didn't make since that one or the other would headline the release party.
The superband performs for their first (and possibly only) time for their split 7" release at Whistle Stop this Friday, February 27th at 9:00. You can pick up your vinyl, which comes with a digital download of the songs, at the show or on Writer's website soon after.

While the music ads on Myspace suck pretty bad, I am still guilty of previewing artists on it regularly. This weekend was no different and I became a new fan of El Perro Del Mar. Definitely check out their single "Change Of Heart" that will be coming out on their new album April 1st. Here is their rad little music video for "Glory To The World".
