nyc // more videos!

I don’t think I could ever act natural in a music video. These guys, though…

1. The video for DIIV‘s “How Long Have You Known” was unleashed upon the internet masses earlier today…

.

2. Exit Music‘s “The Night” premiered on Pitchfork the other day. I’ll never forget the first time I heard this song, almost two years ago, so that’s cool…

boston // GAME OFF

Last night, 11:30, I was standing in the grocery store checkout line, lettuce and kitty litter in hand, when I got a text message from my good friend Laura… “Wait YCBAW is breaking up??”. Well, I dropped the litter.

Care of some sleuthing (thanks Allston Pudding!), it seems that our not-related-to-Harry-Potter darlings are on the verge of a hiatus, a line-up change, and who knows what else. I’m not entirely sure what all this means for the future of the band, but I’d veer on the side of Getting-Your-Arse-To-Great-Scott…

I would like you to enjoy some videos by Boston favorites that have popped up in the past week or so. I don’t know which one I like more, and I like that I don’t have to choose.

First, embrace Pretty & Nice in a very colorful attic, playing a song you might be familiar with…

.

Next, Earthquake Party! in a white room, with a song you should definitely get to know…

.

And please, allow me to leave you with some advice… if you are not driving cross country or working the night shift, do not drink a large red eye at 10 PM. In the words of Ted Mosby’s mother, “Nothing good happens after 2 am” (I don’t think she meant tofu binges but that’s what’s happening here in NYC).

nyc // the hairs

Record Store Day was a beautiful day, the sun was out and the weather was cardigan-optional. So, of course, I made my friends go into a basement to watch the Hairs.

Guess what? Tonight’s CLOUDY.
