Excuse the janky pans and close ups in the video.  I’m trying to get more interesting shots but after watching the videos I realize that I have no idea what I’m doing.

There’s a nice little surprise around 1:40 from a skeleton.

In other exciting personal news: Pianos will be touring Europe in April with Suis La Lune!

+ Pansori – Summer EP

The always-excellent music blog ChugLife posted Pansori’s Summer EP.  I suspect they will get huge if/when they release a full length.  For fans of early thursday, envy, iwouldsetmyselfonfireforyou etc.  They’re playing a show in Baltimore this weekend at CCAS with an amazing lineup: Hostage Calm(!!! new album rules so hard), Transit, Big Kids, 1994!, Snowing, Pansori.

+ El Guincho – Bombay

NSFW!  BOOBIES + Indie Electronic pop + vintage muted color filters + creepy bits + nice transitions = a confusing but very enjoyable music video.

+ Tartine Bread

I like this new trend of beautifully shot trade/craft related videos that are popping up on the web.  Baker Chad Robertson shares his knowledge/promotes his new book/tells you why he loves bread so much.  I actually like this video more – detailing the process of creating ink – but it’s been posted on every corner of the internet already.

At the end of April my band did a weekend tour with a great band from Pennsylvania called We Were Skeletons.  They recently signed to Topshelf Records and will be releasing their new full length very soon.  If you like bands like Kid Crash and Loma Prieta you will probably dig WWS.

+ Converge, Touche Amore, Thursday & Lewd Acts @ Black Cat Tonight

Awesome line up.  If you have $20 bucks to spare this show will be worth it.

If you have the chance to go see them live don’t hesitate – they blew me away.  Oh, and they’re coming back through Baltimore with Trash Talk and Alexisonfire at the Ottobar on April 24th.

They turn on lights about 2 minutes into the video – I wish my camera was able to capture better in low-light.
