My friend sent me this terrible-in-a-good-way music video a while back and I can't get it out of my head. Here is the video from Etienne Daho for "Bleau Comme Toi" circa 1988. You've gotta appreciate all of those special effects.

If you're looking for something to do inside on this rainy day, check out the awesomely random Calico Horse Blog on their recently re-designed website. Read through Emily and Petti's banter and write them a bio if you have a minute. And when the internet leaves you bored and lonely, stop by Subtext and pick up a ticket to see them at our Live at Luce Loft series on March 28th.

Tuesday is generally when new music drops to iTunes, and today's new release has kept me waiting patiently for three years... I first saw Elvis Perkins in 2006, opening for My Morning Jacket at the Wiltern. I later caught him at The Casbah, where he debuted two tracks not included on his first album: Shampoo and Doomsday. All that to say, I've waited three years to buy this album, go get one yourself. (ps. Elvis Perkins in-store performance at M Theory, 03.15 - 4pm)
Also making it's iTunes debut is Season to Season, recorded by The Traditionist and released by our good friends at Better Looking Records. This album has a ton of great tracks, a couple which you can sample below.
"A Sleep Be Told"
"I Know My Ocean"

I just realized that two bands I am into right now are both products of the same person, Jonathan Visger. I'm smart. Visger puts out Bug Lung Baby on his own but plays with band members for Mason Proper. (check out their song "Fog" on myspace, you'll want to play it on repeat). Here is the video from Bug Lung Baby for "The Stupidist Things". I think the natives are wearing my moccasins.
