IODA’s favorite electro-poppers, Faunts, have a new video up on Pitchfork today. Very clever use of those little dot-picture thingies (I have no idea what these are called) and high production values all around. Enjoy!

On Earth Day 2005, Emmy-award winning acoustic ecologist Gordon Hempton laid claim to Olympic National Park in Washington state as his territory to defend against man-made noise. A year later he released the album One Square Inch, recordings of the sounds of the seasons at Olympic Park. All profits help preserve the natural soundscape at Olympic Park for everyone to enjoy. Now, four years later, Hempton’s book about his search for natural silence in an ever noisier world, also called One Square Inch, is being released by Simon and Schuster! Learn more about One Square Inch in the video below and make an effort today to try and find a quiet escape to hear Mother Earth:
A botany graduate of the University of Wisconsin (1976) with graduate studies in plant pathology (1980), Gordon Hempton began recording the sounds of nature in Washington State, embarking on numerous backpacking trips into the wilderness.

Pitchfork.tv premiered two starkly different music videos from Balmorhea and Army Navy this morning.
The video treatment for Balmorhea’s “Remembrance” is “A picturesque piece filled with worn faces and sun-cracked panoramas that look straight out of There Will Be Blood. Balmorhea’s epic folk provides the perfect soundtrack.” -Pitchfork
Check out a track from Balmorhea’s All is Wild, All is Silent:

Army Navy’s music video is much lighter and humorously pokes fun at rock ‘n’ roll clichés.
Here’s the PromoTrack for “Saints”:

Yes, you read that correctly. The viral video of a local TV commercial by Sammy Stephens for a Montgomery Flea Market has spread far beyond YouTube and onto your tube (…). Tonight’s new episode of NBC’s hit comedy, The Office, will prominently feature the video as someone from Dunder-Mifflin is caught not working, but rather watching the infamous video of Stephens dancing and singing to promote his business, claiming, “It’s just like a mini-mall!” Hilarity is sure to ensue.
To fully prepare yourself for this episode and not look like an uncultured fool in front of your friends, check out not only the original video on YouTube, but also take a listen to Sammy’s EP of the awesome song featured in the video, “It’s Just Like A Mini-mall!” Amazing. Now that’s hustling.
