Well, I have opened up the topic for this blog to two major categories, at least in my eyes: music & movies (there is a third topic open for discussion, that being random stuff I find funny/interesting/pressing enough to have to let other people in on). Both music and movies take up a huge chunk of my free-time so talking about them on here will at least give you readers a glimpse into what I'm about.
So for my first post I am posting a video by one of my favorite bands at the moment, Local Natives. They are a small little band from LA, but they have already developed a fairly large fan base through the internet and their live shows. I was lucky enough to see them open for Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros at the 40 Watt here in Athens last semester. I was already a big fan of theirs before the show, but they somehow managed to make me an even bigger fan by the end of their performance. This is one of their better songs off of their upcoming debut album Gorilla Manor, set to come out next month.

Interesting video. I wonder if they have the rights to the clips they incorporate. Probably not. Any thoughts on web ethics and legalities?
Grammar thing: "off of" should always be simply "off."
kay, sorry about not really responding to comments when they are initially posted. I'm bad at this sort of thing.
But anyways, from what I have gathered, this video was made by a fan and isn't officially licensed. As far as I know the creator of this video isn't making any money off of it. I can still see how legalities could come into question, but for some reason I think I remember reading somewhere that the creator used found archive footage, which may or may not make this video legal (i'm not sure how found archive footage is regulated). But then again, I could just be dreaming this last idea up...who knows.
