Video: New Best Coast - Sun Was High (So Was I)

LA-based Best Coast's mission is made abundantly clear with a cursory glance at their myspace page. Yeah, "lazy haze" is pretty much this band in a nutshell, but when they're peddling sunny pop gold like "Sun Was High (So Was I)," it's no wonder that this song already has two unofficial fan videos (though I somehow slept on this [among other things] last week when the songs were posted).

Here's the latest from Vamos, who previously brought us Wavves soundtracking an old British railroad safety PSA, and Animal Collective and Doseone soundtracking some male stripping.

Video: Woods on Pitchfork Live

Always the most subtle and compelling act on a Woodsist roster that contained blog darlings like Vivian Girls, Crystal Stilts, and the intolerable (somebody has to say it) Wavves, NYC outfit Woods have been building up a small and devoted following with their more pastoral take on that whole lo-fi noise-pop thing everybody's going crazy over.

In early February, Pitchfork.tv's cameras caught the band tearing it up (seriously, dude wears his headphones around his nose like a gas mask) at New York's Market Hotel.
