Girl Walk // All Day is a super cute and life-affirming dance music video, featuring a bunch of people improv-dancing their way across New York to the entirety of Girl Talk’s album All Day. It’ll be closing off SF IndieFest tomorrow night at the Roxie Theater with a screening and accompanying dance party.

Here’s a little more about the film, plus a trailer:

A young dancer finds herself bored with her ballet rehearsal. One day, she impulsively quits, then takes a ferry to the city. Feeling incredibly inspired by what she sees, Anne dances her way across New York, using the city as her stage. Throughout her journey, she meets characters of all types, including a series of like-minded dancers, who’ll inspire new movements, engage her in small battles, and teach her to fear, love, laugh and live anew. From the ferry to museums, subways, ball games, bridges, bodegas, graveyards, flower shops, and more, Anne’s journey will bring her far and wide as the city explodes with dance!

Will this optical illusion be the one that finally unseats “Old-lady-with-cartoonishly-large-nose-or-comely-lass-looking-away“? I think so. Snatch it up before it becomes the next classic.

By Octavio Ocampo, the guy who did the freaky Don Quijote one.

There were lines around the block last time American Tripps was at the Secret Alley, by like 9pm.

RSVP and invite your friends, and don’t be tardy!

(Thanks, David!)

She’s our fave!

Anyway, that’s right, Noise Pop 2012 is underway. Lots of the best stuff is sold out, but there are plenty of alternatives. Have a look at the schedule.

(Ash Reiter’s most recent EP, “Heatwave,” as you can see, is available on iTunes, or you can stream it free on Facebook.)

I spent the first $6.80 of this cab ride home from the Lower Haight trying over and over to get Shazam to tell me what this song is, but it couldn’t, so maybe somebody out there can. Or anyway, let’s all just enjoy this awesome song.

(Also, do read Awesome Tapes from Africa.)

Strewth, innit.

UPDATE: Kevin did some sleuthing and found out it’s for real.

Found on the corner of Bryant and Cesar Chavez while walking beside my 4 year old learning to bike.

Well a kid’s gotta learn about legalized prostitution sooner or later. Better this way than from some punk at school.
