Just for the sake of having something to do, I thought I'd post some videos from Fresno Fest '09. Good times were had.
(This was how I mutilated my pinky nail.)
See what you missed out on? Shame on you. Say what you will about Fresno, but it's got one of the liveliest scenes I've ever come across. True, a lot of kids don't go out to shows very often anymore, especially just to see local bands, but those that do are passionate about seeing local DIY music and organizations thrive, and that's something to be rewarded.

Current Favorites for December
In an attempt to write something fairly interesting that doesn't sound hella thought-out or pretentious, I decided I'd post a few of my current favorite songs and bands, and just plug a few locals. (As if anyone on the internet cares. Then again, I tweet all the time, so whether or not people care is clearly of no consequence to me.)
Yeasayer's new single "Ambling Alp."
This is the first time I'm seeing the video, but it's pretty interesting. Certain aspects of it remind me of Gareth Pugh (strangely), The Mighty Boosh, and, for some reason, I want to say TV On The Radio. Sadly enough, I first heard the song at Urban Outfitters a while back.
Good Riddance's "Think of Me."
The fact that these videos aren't the same size is pissing me off. I would have posted a live version of this song, but unfortunately, none of the live videos are very good. I'm absolutely infatuated with Good Riddance lately, but this is definitely one of my favorite tracks.
Wolves and Thieves
Too fucking great. I love watching these guys whenever I can. Pick up their new self-titled album or snag a copy of their split with Bastards of Young!
Hudson Criminal
Another size, another great band.
The Martyrs' "Stay True Bobby."
These guys recently relocated to Hollywood, but they're originally from Fresno, and I've seen them play a great show more times than I can count. Nice guys, good musicians, et cetera.
I'm too lazy to look up anything else, as my wifi keeps coming and going, so I'm done for now. I'll have more useless favorites at a later date.
