I’m on about 400 different band email lists, but I got a weird one from Nada Surf today. Apparently they recorded some instructional videos on how to play their songs. Um, ok. Thanks?

How to play “Fruit Fly”
How to play “The Way You Wear Your Head”
How to play “Blizzard of ‘77″

This made me realize that I haven’t seen the video for “Popular” in ages. It’s amazing. In that lame, early-90s way. Although they never play it live, and don’t ever plan to. Remember the days when bands “acted” in their own music videos?
