The sad truth about all great concert footage is that is just makes you wish you were there. The homies at Yours Tru.ly are keenly aware of this, having dragged their envy-generating lenses to Big Sur for the Woodsist Festival. Pay attention, these guys are putting on a veritable clinic on Authentic Rockist Banter while enjoying the greenery and jamming to the likes of Kurt Vile and Real Estate.

new music: Arches
So I've come back from the nation's biggest intercollegiate debate tournament in beautiful Berkeley, CA. Our status as debate terrorists continues to get bigger, as our completely nonsensical, intentionally rabble-rousing, and totally awesome argument took down some big fish and crushed some little nerds' dreams of going to the Tournament of Champions. Which is all you can really hope for.
Right: music.
Okay--just let me stop you right there. I know, this band sounds just like Real Estate and I know, they're also from New Jersey. But back when I was a kid, being associated with your scene's best and highest-profile band was a good thing.
Enter the Garden State's Arches, who you could think of as a vague halfway point between Real Estate and SF's Young Prisms, taking elegant, lazily tropical guitar-pop and giving it a more minimalist garage slant. If you're still reading by now, you already love this band, so here's the three mp3's I was able to get a hold of.

I'm Into CB's Best of 2009
Record of the Year:
St. Vincent - Actor [4AD]
As much as I loved St. Vincent's Marry Me LP, it was haunted with that most dreaded of A&R buzz words, "potential." Songs like "Your Lips Are Red" hinted at a musical landscape just outside the scope of the debut. Well, here it is. Actor is the most confident, fully-realized musical anything this year. From the astounding lurching factory-pop of "Marrow" to the elegant strings-and-organ build of "Black Rainbow," Actor is full of moments of excruciating tension and liberatory release, playing with texture and drama in unexpected and endlessly satisfying ways.
Honorable Mention
Real Estate - Real Estate [Woodsist]
No Age - Losing Feeling [Sub Pop]
Song of the Year:
Real Estate - Beach Comber [from Real Estate, out on Woodsist]
Representing both the emergence and the pinnacle of the Deadbeat Summer of 2009, when suddenly everybody was listening to something called "beach music" without being able to explain to anyone quite what that means. Real Estate have it down: 60's psych-pop rhythms rendered lazy and hazy, chiming guitars that noodle pleasantly around an effortless vocal hook. Thankfully escaping from its own shadow, it's just as home soundtracking a bleak winter's day spent indoors as a stoned shoreside barbecue.
Honorable Mention
Animal Collective - What Would I Want? Sky [from Fall Be Kind, out on Domino]
[Download][IGIF]
Washed Out - Belong [from High Times, out on Mirror Universe]
[Download][Fader]
Video of the Year:
The Presets - If I Know You [Dir. Eva Husson]
Maybe it's that this video evokes some of that old "weird LA" mystique that I thought had evaporated in the late 90's, maybe it's that the city's landscape just lends itself to surrealist dance spasms, or maybe the Presets' video for "If I Know You" is just so otherworldly I can't stop watching it. Over, and over, and over again.
Cover of the Year
Franz Ferdinand - Womanizer (Live on BBC Radio One Live Lounge) (Britney Spears)
Following up last year's awesome Gwen Stephani cover, Franz Ferdinand chose "the best song out in the last few months," Britney Spears' "Womanizer" for their cover on BBC One's Live Lounge. It's pretty much what you'd expect from Tonight-era Franz, but the raw punk-jam recording adds enough spunk and vitriol to make this cover some of their best 2009 output.
The 5th Annual Beck Hansen Award for Coolest Thing Beck Did this Year:
Record Club
A project like Beck's Record Club, covering seminal albums from scratch in a day seems audacious, but opening it by taking on the Velvet Underground and Nico seems downright arrogant. That is, until you hear what he does to standards like "Run Run Run."
The 2009 Jack White WTF I Thought You Were Cool Award
The Dead Weather
Considering they're mostly made up of reigning Boring-Ass-Butt-Rock World Champions the Raconteurs, it's not surprising that the latest Jack White vehicle just plain sucks. Not even the Kills' VV (the admittedly chop-laden Allison Mosshart) can save the colossal misfire of Horehound (seriously, that's the name of their fucking album). The Dead Weather are all posturing, spitting, artificial grit from the mixing board. I had always thought Jack White strove to create a world where great rock'n'roll would rule again, but the disservice done to the genre by this stillborn lump of formulaic rawk could set the Revolution back decades.

Bootleg: Real Estate - Various Songs Live at P4k's Showpaper Benefit
Pitchfork, in an effort to appear simultaneously more hip and less like self-centered hipster pricks, held a benefit show for Showpaper with one of the most fantastic bills this side of CMJ: Neon Indian, Small Black, Cymbals Eat Guitars, and recent favorites and leading band-of-the-year contenders Real Estate.

The homie nyctaper was on-hand to record Real Estate's fantastic set, including two new songs from the upcoming Reality 12'' from Mexican Summer: "Basement" and "Younger than Yesterday." Also included is a cover of RE-guitarist Matthew "Ducktails" Mondanile's "The Mall."
Snag the entire set in convenient .zip form here.

Video: Underwater Peoples/Twosyllable Showcase w/ Real Estate, Frat Dad, Pill Wonder
Thankfully, even if you weren't fortunate enough to witness the epic Twosyllable Records / Underwater Peoples showcase that the guys at Chocolate Bobka threw at CMJ (lord knows I wasn't), we can now all share in a little bit of that vaguely tropical, fuzzed-out magic brewing on the East Coast these days.
The Underwater Peoples site is hosting videos from the CMJ shindig, so head on over to catch performances by Real Estate, Frat Dad, and Pill Wonder, all of whom we've written about a bit before.

Best Thing Ever: The Videos of Ray Concepcion
Speaking of the Bobka, this dude Ray Concepcion who shoots videos for them has amassed a pretty freaking stunning collection of live videos of zeitgeisters and old indie guard alike--including Vivian Girls, Real Estate, and the Walkmen.
There's three pages of that, man!
What are you waiting for?

New Music: Beach Fossils
So today I woke up and, as I do most days, I curse myself for not being nearly as hip as the dudes over at Chocolate Bobka (they brought you this and this).
Today's slap in the face comes in the form of this video of Brooklyn's Beach Fossils laying down a track called "Vacation," some classic indie pop that tickles the Real Estate receptors in my brain.
Look for some legit material coming soon from either Woodsist or Captured Tracks.
Also: demos!

Video: Real Estate - Green River/Suburban Beverage
Chocolate Bobka, who got insta-bookmarked after I saw this one, recently posted this awesome live video of intocb favorites Real Estate playing a medley of "Green River" and "Suburban Beverage," which appear on a couple of 7''`s making big waves (no pun intended) this summer.
