videos

you tube is a great resource for wasting time and finding terrible home videos. but i love searching for live band videos. so i have "favorited" a lot of videos and was searching through them all last night. these three stuck out with the fact that i think they are all really awesome performances but each one with a different vibe. from the giant crowd at reading fest to anabandoned building to the small crowd and theo hilton using a marker as a capo. the best is being able to watch videos in HD now too.

arcade fire "wake up"

fleet foxes "blue ridge mountains"

nana grizol "voices echo down the hall"

bikes

upon a recent check of their online store i discovered that urban outfitters now sells "custom" bikes.

let the richmond bike kid outrage begin.

now in the past few years fixed gears have risen to the top in the hipster circles, and riding without breaks ups your cool points. and im sure there will be a few people with no interest buying these bikes to help their social climb. but ill add a few of my thoughts to this discussion

should other bike enthusiasts really be mad about bikes becoming hip? i would much rather more people be riding bikes than driving cars. i dont think we should want anyone to stay away from a better lifestyle choice even if they are doing it to be cool.

but i will also say if urban is going to dictate what is trendy i think it is also their responsibility to promote saftey. maybe sell some hip bike helmets while they are at it yeah?
