Rawkblog.tv: Go Sailor – “Love Seat” (Softies Cover), 3.28.10
One Rose Melberg band covers another (the one which happens to be my favorite of all time) at the Slumberland 20th Anniversary show at the Echo on Sunday. Kids, dreams do come true! Apologies as usual for the camera phone video.

Rawkblog.tv: Grizzly Bear – “He Hit Me (It Felt Like A Kiss)”
The Vimeo migration continues. Here’s Grizzly Bear at UCLA’s Kerckhoff Grand Salon three years ago (time flies!) on February 2, 2007. There’s a photo somewhere of me and Ed Droste palling around after this gig, which was totally worth skipping that Romantic Lit class I ended up dropping for.

Akron/Family, live at UCLA, now for your enjoyment. (I’m gradually posting all of my collegiate low-res concert videos to Vimeo and then, obviously, here, so keep an eye on this space for more.)

Rawkblog.tv: Jon Brion @ Amoeba Music, 10.17.04
Five years ago tomorrow, Jon Brion played a rare set at Amoeba Music in honor of his soundtrack for I Heart Huckabees — the last time Jon released a set, even a small one, of new vocal recordings. Here are my freshly Vimeo’d videos from the show (including his Tom Waits-plays-”Creep” cover), posted with the hope that someone will send this to Jon and remind him to put out another album, please. After the jump… Read the rest of this entry »

Rawkblog.tv: Ravens & Chimes – “Clarissa Explains It All” (Live, 6.16.08)
Premiere! I finally joined the rest of the cool kids on Vimeo (verdict: rad) and now that we’re in hi-def visually, if not sonically, here’s a gem of a jam: a new live track from Ravens & Chimes. Frontman Asher Lack tells me this song, “Clarissa Explains It All” — yes, after your favorite ’90s Nickelodeon show — is going to be a bit faster when it arrives as the b-side of this fall’s “Hearts of Palm” single, but it’s pretty high energy here. The Rawkblog Band to Watch has half of their sophomore disc tracked and hopes to tour before knocking out the rest, so we’re looking toward 2010 at this point. No rush, fellas.

Snacks The Cat Pt. 2
I love that “indie rockers talking about weird snack foods” is the P4k equivalent of “Hollywood star talks about how she’s OK being single in her 30s.”
From Badass of the Week:
Daniel M’Mburugu is probably the hardest motherfucker to ever step foot in the rural farmlands of Kenya. On June 22nd, this 73 year-old grandfather was out in his farmland minding his own business when all of a sudden this gigantor leopard jumped out from some tall grass and mauled the fuck out of him. The beast let out an earth-shaking howl and pinned M’Mburugu to the ground, scratching the shit out of his chest with its back claws and trying to bite his face off with its gleaming fangs. M’Mburugu tried to free up hispanga (Swahili for “big ass machete”) so that he could take a good swipe at the creature that was slowly killing him, but then all of a sudden JESUS CHRIST sent a messenger pigeon down to him with a note that read:
Dear Daniel,
Fuck the machete. Just rip this motherfucker’s tongue out.
Love,
GodSo Daniel M’Mburugu dropped his machete and shoved his hand into the leopards mouth. The leopard chomped down on his hand, be he totally didn’t even give a fuck. He just pulled the fucking leopard’s tongue out of its head, causing it to die and get totally pwned by a 73 year-old dude. After he was done wrecking the leopard’s shit, he told his neighbor to go get him some salt just so that he could rub it into his wounds, pound his chest like Tarzan and prove to everyone that he was the baddest motherfucker in town. Awesome.
Is writing about Best Coast's cat the new writing about Bradford's blog?
