Van Halen - Hot For Teacher (Music Video)

When this record came out, it felt so good. Had it on vinyl in 1984. We had big stereos and it felt really really bad, as in BADASS. Few rock like Van Halen. Enjoy!

Willoughby

Came across Elliot Glass on YouTube a while back and immediately loved his films of LA indie bands shot in what seems to be various living rooms. He has amassed a bunch of great recordings. His crew at Little Videos records the sound beautifully and the photography/video work is pretty darned good and always fits. Here is another cool shoot of local Echo Park/Los Angeles band, Willoughby.
