An email regarding a music video shoot this Monday…

————-
So, Langhorne Slim is shooting a video for “Rebel Side of Heaven” this Monday, March 31st at The Box (189 Chrystie, between Rivington & Stanton.)
Simple concept – live video in a beautiful, ornate venue which is being shot by Crackerfarm + Paul Manza. From 2:30 PM until 6:00 PM they want to bring in a little audience for that live show kinda vibe.

We’re looking to get about 50+ people down to the venue at about 2:30 PM until appx 6:00 PM. …
Anyone who’s interested in being in the video should send an email to slimvideo(at)kemado.com and we’ll send them the details by Friday afternoon or Monday morning.

———–

If you have never been to the box.. it’s an amazing place and the music video should be a lot of fun. When you email Kemado, let them know I sent you. I might see you guys down there..

Have fun and here’s a Langhorne Slim song below..

So yes I know, they have been around for sometime. They were even mentioned in this year’s BEST OF by Dan I’m on Fire! HERE.

Either way, I like to find my music in my own time and finally I have come across Yeasayer’s All Hour Cymbals ..

Below are some tracks. To me they sound like a listenable Panda Bear or Animal Collective or a dreamy pop art collectives who make art from balloons and shoe laces!

Yeasayer – 2080 .

Yeasayer – Sunrises .

two non album tracks:

Bluetip – Join Us

If you are living in or near New York these days, you will have noticed this phenomenon; New Yorkers think they can control the weather with their actions. Yesterday, I went out to brunch with two friends. And yesterday’s weather was nice (for this time of the year) but it wasn’t spring by any means. I mean it was like 53 tops in the sun. That’s about 8 degrees Celsius for those in non American, Liberian or Burmese cities.

New Yorkers have telekinetic powers. Or they believe they do. Honestly, if you were outside, you would have seen idiots running around in t shirts, shorts and light light jackets. Why? Cause New Yorkers are tired of the winter, just plain fucking tired of it. So what do we do? Well we’ll just wear whatever we want. We don’t care if it’s 40 degrees out today. If we say it’s 65, well then fuck, it’s 65.

I got up yesterday, knew it was late March, decided for no apparent reason in the world, that I wouldn’t wear my gloves or scarf. Why? Cause I didn’t want it to be cold outside.

Fuck you weather! We all showed you didn’t, we?? Haha, who’s laughing now weather? Who’s laughing now??

PS. My hands were fucking freezing yesterday.

NEW MIND SPACE hosted the global pillow fight on March 22nd in Union Square… I went. I saw. I took pictures. It was feathery. Check out the pictures below.
