I know, interrupting KidVid Tournament 2010 for... a video? I promise, I'll get back to a more regular swing of news and reviews soon (sometimes the real world intervenes, though for all good reasons), but when The Telephone Company makes a video for my favorite song from Panda Brain!, then I'm all over it.
A fairly literal video translation. One can only wonder what the passengers on the passing trains must've been thinking as they saw the video shot...

Listen To This: "Constellation Conga" - Recess Monkey (World Premiere)
That's right, it's your chance to listen to "Constellation Conga," a powerful sludge of a hard rock/polka/chillwave tune from Seattle's Recess Monkey... ahhhh, who am I kidding? It's a breezy, danceable tune from their upcoming album The Final Funktier, out June 15. Listen to the song below, courtesy of the band, then listen to a variety of new tunes from the album throughout the weekend... more details here.
Sorry, too late. I'll be posting this track on my radio station soon...
