French artist, So Me, directed MGMT's latest crazy video for the song "It's Working." It feels like an Ikea furniture assembly on heavy acid ... not that I've ever done acid, but maybe I would if it looked and sounded this awesome. Have a nice trip and enjoy MGMT live this Thursday at SDSU's Open Air Theatre.

Juan and Abe, better known as Tocayo and Exist 1981, have been fevereshly working on their upcoming show, so much so that I could barely get a preview image out of them. Ever since collaborating on El Camino Little Italy, Tocayo and Exist have taken any chance to work with each other. Saturday's opening at Thumbprint Gallery is entitled Hasta La Muerte, or Until Death for those of you who don't habla espanol. Peep Juan's iPhone preview below, and cruise out Saturday night to North Park for the opening.
*Updated // Exist sent us some words, images and a video teaser at 2am last night.
"Hasta La Muerte; is the perfect description of my deep commitment to art. For many years I've put myself in unbelievable situations for it (dangerous and extraordinary), and I plan to continue, Until Death.
Live, love, create, explore, learn, grow: Hasta La Muerte"
- EXIST1981

Summer Holiday by Wild Nothing seems to fit San Diego's current weather. This subdued pop track wants to break free from the haze, but sits just nicely underneath the surface. I'm pretty sure this is not the official music video, but it contains some sweet vintage logging footage nonetheless. Also worth checking out is a live video of the same song that Pitchfork just posted.
