Remember the epic Firecoat video? Well, the latest from YDGN Productions has arrived just in time for Halloween. Behold Taxidermied Alive by the most awesomely, awkwardly-named band ever: Barfth.
Just a warning and a reminder: the song is called Taxidermied Alive. So know your limits before going in to this one.
San Francisco’s Sean Hayes just made this ramblin’, banjo beauty of a tune available on his website. Listen below. Click to download the unreleased song.
This tune hit my inbox at optimal listening conditions: a lazy, warm Saturday afternoon.
The track’s sunny disposition comes as no surprise when you learn that Max Greenhalgh, AKA The Eyelid Kid, AAKA Inspired and the Sleep, wrote this whole album on a San Diego lifeguard tower over the summer. Teenager will be available soon on Bandcamp.
I’ve spent many years in San Franisco‘s Ad Ghetto (loosely based around the upper part of Battery St.) and even more in Grumpy’s. Longtime residents draftFCB and newcomers EVB have joined forces to celebrate the ‘hood and “bring some life” back to the area. They’ve scored The Dodos and Dan the Automator to help ’em do it. An effort I applaud, as it’s much needed.
The party hits at 4 pm on John Maher St, that little walkway running between Battery / Front and Union / Green [map].
No word on the official soundtrack but this Radical Face tune, used in a Nikon spot in the past, suits this teaser like a custom score. Currently titled The Goodwin Project, the movie is literally an adventure in the making which follows the Goodwin family—surfers Aamion and Daisy, with their two children in tow—around the world. One of my friends is on the crew documenting their travels and it sounds pretty damn interesting. See where they’re at now at The Goodwin Project.
On the hush hush, before Friday night’s Troubador gig, Neon Indian stopped by the ad agency MSN (UK) named one of the world’s 10 coolest spaces, TBWA \ Chiat \ Day LA. The article mentions their indoor trees, basketball court and more, but breezes through what would make me actually want to live and work in LA: the agency hosts live concerts. They’ve had the The Morning Benders, Edward Sharpe, Generationals and tons more stop by for intimate, on-the-down-low shows. Not bad. At least where I’m freelancing right now this guy appears on Fridays. [Thanks, Christina]
If you haven’t already grabbed Neon Indian‘s latest, you need to snag it on iTunes:
