LA world-dance-fun collective Fool's Gold, who for better or worse chose the same name as the Chicago-based dance label with no relation to them, just released a video for their single "Surprise Hotel." It's very, late-David Byrne meets Paul Simon's Graceland with just a hint of Rusted Root. It's also very fun. Like going to the beach.
The video projects that level of fun, and mixes it in with senior citizens...
Two observations:
1) Girls next to pools in indie videos are way different than the ones in rap videos
2) The opening sequence makes me have to pee.

Fool's Gold...No, not that Fool's Gold
Don't be confused, but there is another Fool's Gold on the scene, and it's not A-Trak's label, it's a music collective from Los Angeles that is making some crazy music. Their sound is the sonic personification of several African traditions dancing on a foundation of solid alt-rock sensibilities that was built next to a rabbi's house who listened to old soul records with the volume turned up. They've been doing some shows with Fujiya & Miyagi, and Cat Power, among others. So keep an eye out for these guys.
