  1. 90s-indie noise revivalists Cymbals Eat Guitars have a new Jamie Harley directed clip for “Definite Darkness” from last year’s Lenses Alien, featuring footage of a 70s drill team competition. Smiling young ladies, washed out colors, flags and high kicks.

  2. Debuting at SXSW this week, a new documentary on legendary drummer Ginger Baker. Eric Clapton, Johnny Rotten, Carlos Santana, Charlie Watts and Neil Peart are just a few of the musicians who appear and discuss the musical gift of the drummer, best known for playing in Cream and Blind Faith before discovering the Afrobeat of Fela Kuti.

  8. The Arctic Monkeys are doing something different with this track and my first thought was that they’d been listening to a lot of Black Keys – not a bad thing! Seems I’m right: they’re on tour together kicking off March 2nd.

  10. The new A Place To Bury Strangers clip is rather clever looking, like it was all put together from Instagram shots. How come Instagram makes everything look so cool? From their upcoming EP Onwards To The Wall.
