WATCH: New Video For Girls' Single, "My Ma"

San Francisco's Girls were heavily  - and justifiably - lauded for their wonderful 2011 LP, Father, Son, Holy Ghost. Now, the band have prepped a single for the track "My Ma". True Panther will release the single on May 22nd and will limit the pressing to just 1000 copies.

To celebrate the release, the band have also assembled a video for the single. The heartfelt video follows an elderly woman around as she ruminates on her former life as an actress. The footage is endearing and works very well with the narrative of the song, but at times comes off a bit creepy as the woman rehearses her faces to prove that her acting chops are still in tact. Goofy, but ultimately, effective.

In addition to the forthcoming single, Girls will also be making a live appearance on Conan on March 22. Watch the video below.

The Sabauteur Radio Hour

Remember when you used to make mix tapes to make friends and impress girls? So do I. And, I miss it. Therefore, I bring you the new endeavor from our humble little blog; The Sabauteur Radio Hour.

To kick off my excitement of all things musical in 2012, here is the very first episode of a new podcast type effort I'm calling The Sabauteur Radio Hour. The concept is pretty simple: There are songs I like and some stuff I want to say about those songs. So, that is primarily what happens here.

Along the way, I will attempt to uncover the new, revisit the old and aged and talk about what's going on in music that excites me. In the first installment we check out the new single from the forthcoming Shins LP. I wax poetic about the first LP from Youth Lagoon, wish a happy birthday to a soul legend, mention many times, many bands on the playlist that will also be playing at Coachella, and I'll explain why The Eagles are a far greater scourge on society than Marilyn Manson or Judas Priest.
