indie thursday: the format, silversun pickups, earlimart


the format - dog problems
[after being dropped by their label... twice, the format had the ultimate revenge by self releasing the best album of their career. ah love these stories! check out their latest video which is literally a hand-ful. (thanks to music for kids who can't read good for naming this one of his top 10 favorite songs of the year.)]


silversun pickups - lazy eye
[another 'music for kids who can't read good' top 10 fave, but i actually discovered this hipster blog fave by watching their video on mtv2 (whaaaat? they still play videos on tv?). the video is just a celebration of a bygone 70's youth era when girls looked like boys and boys looked like girls and all was good... kind of like now, but not really]


earlimart - we drink on the job
[classic earlimart circa 2003, but this is really to remind you that the wonderful band have just finished their new album and offered three tracks via their site for fans to check out! if you're too lazy ass, here they are via pitchfork:
never mind the phonecalls
don't you think about me
everybody knows everybody
