I Will Remain the Honest Soldier

Guster has released another animated video. Guster is buds with Chad VanGaaaaaaaaaaaaaalen. Guster had Chad VanG create a "psychotomimetic" video for Lightning Rod. Guster is smart, both with words and with choice of video directors.

Guster has released a funky remix of Satellite "with a block-rocking beat and a trance feel." Guster has made this available on iTunes. Guster has also announced an upcoming 8-song Satellite EP coming out "in a couple of months, featuring B-sides, covers, and a dance remix of Satellite with a block-rocking beat and a trance feel."

Guster announced dates for its Spring Campus Consciousness Tour. Guster is again avoiding the rabid fans in Iowa. Guster has disappointed me. Yet, me gusta Guster.

You Wanna Get Close To It

Chad Vangaalen's new video for Flower Gardens has been tubed for you. You can also see it at stereogum and hisspace. Entertaining and the music is very cool is parts and so-so in other parts. But I am getting a little tired of the indie homespun animated video (see also). Cliche yet? Yes, but it doesn't get much better than this. I digress.

AV Club has a review of Chad's new album Skelliconnection, which was released yesterday. It's rated what turned out to be my favorite grade in law school!
