New Love As Laughter Video - "All Parts Of Me"

Here were are again at the water's edge, though this time the splashes are not only psychedelic, they also involve crotch-level crystal balls (see Sam Jayne to the right), dayglo hula dancers, and dudes in drag and bad tans. There are also a lot of smiles. Way too many annoying smiles. So many. And so it goes with Love As Laughter's Daniel Perez-directed video for Holy single "All Parts Of Me." It's a decent song, so maybe watch it with your eyes closed over here. These are not fall colors. If you want to take another Holy dip, "Crosseyed Beautiufl Youngunz" is streaming at MySpace.

Holy is out now via Isaac Brock's Glacial Pace.

Come Listen To Of Montreal's Skeletal Lamping &
Watch Grizzly Bear's Letterman Performance With Us Tonight

The new of Montreal record release is on the horizon (10/7), Grizzly Bear is finally playing Letterman, and those sound like great reasons for a party. If you're around the East Village tonight, come over to Hi Fi from 10PM-12:30AM and join us and the Polyvinyl folks in an exclusive listening experience: for the first and only time pre-release, of Montreal's Skeletal Lamping LP will be played publicly in its entirety. (Officially, that is -- DJing a party in a park with a leaked copy doesn't count.) After we've been sufficiently oM'd, all eyes will be on the Hi Fi screens to watch Grizzly Bear debut their new song "Two Weeks" at the Ed Sullivan Theatre (tonight featuring Doveman on piano).

Note: No members of of Monty or Grizzly Bear will be there (Kevin & Co. are in Athens, and the Grizz are going back upstate to record). But the drinks will be cheap ( on Brooklyn Beers 'til midnight) and we'll tip 'em back and be nerds together in their honor. Flyer with full details below.

The 'Gum Drop XLVII: Hear New XYZ Affair, Win An
Epiphone Electric Guitar

The XYZ Affair found their way onto our radar with a slime-filled Nickelodeon-packed "All My Friends" video. The Brooklyn band's new Trials EP includes standout "Evening Life," a song that caught our attention before its video clip was even completed. This week's Drop featured the T.S. Eliot, Wallace Stevens, and Minor Threat-referencing anthem. You can take a listen to it here. We asked frontman Alex Feder about the song's depiction of the poetry of youth culture. He went in depth, so we weren't able to print all of his "Evening Life" thoughts in the Drop, but check it out in full now:
