M83 (aka Anthony Gonzalez) is busy scoring the upcoming sci-fi film, Oblivion, and over the weekend, we were treated to our first taste. The film will be released April 12th. Hopefully we’ll be treated to more of the score as we near the release. Enjoy.
This is a short film I put together for a documentary class at Chico State featuring three local bands: The Make, Casing the Promiseland, and Surrogate. I plan on making a longer version so stay tuned. For more information on the bands click below
Love this song. Love this video. Enjoy.

Arcade Fire & Neil Young performed “Helpless” at the 25th annual Bridge School Benefit concert. If you’re not familiar, “The Bridge School Benefit is an annual non-profit charity concert held in Mountain View, California, every October at the Shoreline Amphitheatre. The concerts are all organized by musician Neil Young and his wife, Pegi.
Proceeds benefit the Bridge School, which assists children with severe physical impairments and complex communication needs. One of the thrusts of the program is the use of advanced augmentative and alternative communication and assistive technology.
The first concert was in October 1986, and, with the exception of 1987, the concert has been held every year since. It is known for having a relatively high-profile lineup and strong performances, primarily due to Neil Young’s extensive connections within the music industry. Young also performs every year. As a practice, but not a rule, the performers use acoustic instruments.” [source: wikipedia]

They Might Be Giants just released the new video for album single “Can’t Keep Johnny Down”. The video, which premiered earlier today with New York Magazine, is a cinematic behemoth featuring Rip Torn as a hot sauce chugging, bare-knuckled street fighter. For a taste of the action, watch the new “Can’t Keep Johnny Down” video, directed by Brian and Brad Palmer and produced by Surroud (TV On The Radio, The Drums).
They Might Be Giants new album, Join Us, was released July 19th through Idlewild/Rounder Records. On Join Us we find the Brooklyn originals have returned to rock with an electrifying mix of clever, maddeningly catchy songwriting and studio mastery. Notorious for their energized live show, They Might Be Giants are on an international tour, hitting 6 countries and over 50 US cities. Be sure to catch TMBG live in your city! [source: girlie action]
