Seattle band La Luz debuted a new track today from their upcoming album, It's Alive on Hardly Art. "Pink Slime" is full of deliciously eerie organs and perfectly synced four part doo-wops. Combine a plot about a cool girl gang and a spooky beach party and you would probably end up with La Luz as the entire soundtrack of what would surely be a wonderful movie. Listen at Stereogum.

There are loads of cool/fun/weird things you can do when you choose not to go to work, or to that party, or to school - and Superchunk's video for "Staying Home" documents the ones you're probably going to want to take part in. Eating from a toilet? Check. Making a mask of yourself? Check. [Stereogum]
