My fave video of the moment: Oh Hell, I Married an Indiepop Girl

I'm not sure what neat Windows(R) software created this video, but even with the program I couldn't have come up with a funnier indie-pop girl / husband sample conversation.

For the love of Morrissey!!!  You'll never be English, get over it.

What should be the next video in this series?  A barista to boyfriend exchange?

Road trip alert: Slumberland Records' 20th Anniversary Parties in LA and San Francisco

{photo via last.fm page}

There are few things I love more than taking indie pop related trips, and thankfully, Slumberland Records have gifted me with the perfect indie pop daydreamer's vacation complete with bands I never thought I'd get to see. To celebrate their 20th anniversary, they're throwing two identical shows, one in San Francisco and one in LA at with some of my favorite bands ever.

March 27th - The Rickshaw Stop, San Francisco/March 28th - The Echo, LA

Short attention span songs

Since the folks at Not Quite Rocket Science began their podcasting a couple months ago, I've been enjoying their comps. Last week's podcast is one of my favorites yet. It is group of their shortie/sweet songs.
