PETE!!

okay, so lets take it back to the early 90's... coming home from school and flipping on arguably the best kids show ever... The Adventures of Pete and Pete. I mean with that kick ass opening theme by Polaris (Hey Sandy) and Steve Buscemi and Iggy Pop as regular cast members (along with appearances by Lucious Jackson, Chris Elliott, Janeane Garofalo, Debbie Harry, and LL Cool J to name a few) this show was on my must watch list.

So that is that the only bit of 90's nostalgia i have for you? not at all... how about nada surf (remember that popular song?)and their quirky indie rock style? now that was some good times...

so what does that have to do with anything? well nada surf are still putting out good albums, and they have a new video.

from stereogum.com :

"New Nada Surf Video - "Whose Authority" (Stereogum Premiere)

Nada Surf's new Jonathan Krisel-directed video for "Whose Authority," from the forthcoming Lucky, stars Michael C. Maronna, who you should all remember as the elder Pete from The Adventures Of Pete and Pete. Classic. Here, instead of dealing with his pain-in-the-ass kid brother or doing those sensitive wise-beyond-his-teenage-years voice overs, he's working as a bad-ass bicycle messenger delivering packages around Manhattan after leaving his Brooklyn crib. En route he disrupts pigeons, chats with other two-wheeled friends, kicks over traffic cones, knocks on buses, and narrowly escapes collisions with taxi doors before heading back over the Wiliamsburg bridge and calling it a day. Yes, home to that cool place MTV told us about. Gosh we hope Kyp says hi this time."




pete on a mf'n fixed gear son!
