We know (or think we know) what you’re thinking: Who needs another “O Katrina” video, live or otherwise? Well, have you ever seen one with a short, wide, and bizarre aspect ratio with four angles at once? Didn’t think so.

It was recorded at Emo’s down in Austin, though as far we can tell, dudes aren’t playing SXSW this year. Maybe they’re too busy with their show-by-show guerrilla marketing campaign. You be the judge…

Yeah, those must’ve taken awhile. Very Adbusters. But they’re actual ads, for a show at the Bowery Ballroom. Now, that’s not very culture jam-y. (As Copyranter points out, they scribbled 3/11 on a few of the posters, though the show’s actually tonight, 3/10.)

Catch the hijinks of The Black Lips
The Black Lips' equally crude and catchy caterwaul is the sound of garage rock with its greasy hair on fire. They've been dubbed "flower punk" by some for their blend of '60s pop whimsy and confrontational onstage hijinks, which, in the past, have seen ...

    I went to the Black Lips show in DC on the Saturday of St. Patrick’s Day weekend. In addition to an incredible set of originals, they covered “Five & Ten” by Link Wray and “Too Much in Love” by the King Khan and BBQ Show and ended with Chuck Berry’s “Too Much Monkey Business.” Needless to say, it was a great show and I got so drunk I passed out on the subway on the way home.
