Awesome Music Vid: Vivian Girls- “Take It As It Comes”
I love this video! Great song, great music video. I remember it being a stand out live as well. I don’t know why I never checked it out until now. It has a great retro look and love how colorful and bubbly it is without being too cheesy.
SOTD: Adam Green- “Boss Inside” (2010)
This is so much cooler than Bob Dylan.

Band Recommendation: Hooking Up
Hooking Up is a band from Virginia. To describe them, I would say thick and exciting. From the sounds of their 7″ Groin Pains (Evil Weevil Records, 2012), the band is pretty straight-laced, just a real distinct rolling bass, drums, and vocals. The bass and singing style really stick out. The tunes flow so nicely. From the 7″, I love it all, but in particular the opener and closer, “Heavy” and “Sell Yourself.” The former reminds me of The Orwells in its solid production and groove. “I liked it when you were hot shit!” Nice screams and noises in the background at the end there. “Sell Yourself” starts out sparse and melodic before cranking it up several notches. ‘Course the melody never fades and we are left with something the Lovely Feathers might have done if they decided to be less weird, crunchier, and ballsier. The hooks are everywhere.
Well, for starters, check out that 7″ at their bandcamp or from Evil Weevil. And I’m in luck…they are playing at the Whitehaus on Friday March 9.
