I came home late last night from an amazing performance by the Magnetic Fields (at the Wilshire Ebel Theatre (completed in 1894!!) to a broken computer, so will be slightly shorter on words this week.
1) Our dear friends Eagle and Talon recently performed 4 songs for Groupee. Looking and sounding good as always, here's "Hot Caught.":
Be sure to check out the other three songs hosted on the Groupee site here.
2) A very charming performance by Miniature Soap (Kelli Anne Noftie) at Pehrspace, along with Jordan Hudock of Marvelous Toy:
3) For those eagerly awaiting a new release from L.A's Everest, be prepared to soon wait no more. "On Approach" will be out on April 20, and look here, a short promo video for the album to get you even more hyped up:
4) When I was a senior in high school, I, along with a good portion of my graduating class, took an art history class which, in my case, introduced me to most of the major works, virtually of which I had been previously unfamiliar. Full of enthusiasm for these images, I, as well as a few others, would sometimes attempt our best to act out the poses from the more dramatic arrangements. We were largely unsuccessful (although I took pride in once partially capturing the depicted by upside down crucifixion of St. Peterde Zurbaran). Paris, France's Hold Your Horses, on the other hand, are entirely successful in their video for 70 million:

6) When not trying to get young people excited about politics, stirring the folks up about the music industry's business model or posing for Banana Republic ads, OK Go is also known for making some darn clever music videos. The video for "This Too Shall Pass", featuring an unusually complex Rube Goldberg machine does not disappoint in that department. While I think the song is not quite the quality of Here It Goes Again, the video involves even greater feats of coordination:
Click here for a nonembeddable earlier music video for the same song and featuring the Notre Dame Marching Band.
