I jammed through the sea mist on the way to work this morning to this little gem from Damian Lazarus. "Neverending" seemed like a totally happy and upbeat song until I saw this somewhat dark video. I'll just pretend it's still happy.
..a little reminiscent of Lykke Li's video?

Although the line up is a bit weaker than last years', I'm pretty pumped for Street Scene this weekend. Below is my chronological map, with some samplings to help you navigate Friday and Saturday.
Since the lines will probably be horrendous, I'll most likely miss Dirty Sweet, and will make my way straight to the Casbah Stage for Wavves. I didn't catch any of their few San Diego shows, so I'm excited to experience the hype, but am expecting to be left longing for Fantastic Magic. I am stoked on this video montage from thier euro tour though.
About 3/4's of the way through Wavves' set, I'll be sprinting through the crowd to secure a good spot for Band of Horses. They are so damn good live, don't miss it!
My next hour will be split between Conor Oberst and Matt & Kim, with the following split between Modest Mouse and Girl Talk. I'll then be bouncing early... I could give two shits about Fergie shaking her lady humps.
Day two starts with Crocodiles, who I need to track down so I can retreive their disposable cameras from tour. They should be pretty tight after the last few months on the road.
I'll spend a bit of time at Ra Ra Riot and Los Campensinos, before pounding 4 beers in preparation for my Of Montreal / Faint dance party from 6:40 - 8:30. If you missed our Sasquatch coverage, check out the madness.
My evening will finish with No Age, Delta Spirit and a strong sense of accomplishment. Hope to see you there -- follow Sezio on Twitter for some updates.

I must be extra sensi today because this music video for The Walkmen (one of my personal favorites) got me all choked up inside. Here is the beautiful video for "On The Water" directed by Nir Ben Jacob.

Special Hometown Edition! My friend sent me a video last week of her big music video debut and was instantly stoked on what I saw. The movie is really well made and depicts San Diego perfectly, complete with late night taquitos. I got in touch with one of the filmmakers to find out more..watch the video then read more below.
Four San Diego based filmmakers make "Sick Muse" video for Canadian band Metric:
The piece involves following around three girls on an "extra-ordinary" San Diego summer day; it was shot in one day on three Nikon DSLR's. Shot as image sequences (or bursts), the shoot generated over 60,000 images that were edited down to the final cut.
The four filmmakers : Josh Hassin, Franck Deron, Kevin Joelson, and Rebecca Joelson were hoping to collaborate on a project and this one just seemed like the perfect opportunity.
All four filmmakers brought different skills to the project. Hassin has a background in design and direction, Deron and K. Joelson bring their experience in practical film making and editing, and R. Joelson is an accomplished still photographer whose work is now migrating to film and video as well.
Be sure to check out the website they made for the video.

I have a secret source for awesome music videos and he goes by the name of Denim. Check out this hot one by Francis and the Lights for "The Top". I can't watch it enough.
