After taking in a killer set by Nada Surf and Illinois last night at The Troc, I declare today as Nada Surf day. I'll post a review, some mp3s and an ultimate Nada mix later on, but let's get it started with YouTube Mondays, word? (Ugh, I hate when I end sentences with 'word')


Here's "Whose Authority," the first video from Nada Surf's most recent album, Lucky. Although it riffs an awful lot off Green Day's "Warning" video with a dude biking around Manhattan showing total disregard to getting hurt, sick, killed, beaten, stabbed or effed with everything he does, the 'dude' is Pete.. as in the elder Pete from Pete and Pete, one of the greatest shows of television history. And if you dissect the video, it's full of nods to other Nada Surf songs and cameos of indie-rock's crown princes. So it's a pretty killer music video for a pretty decent tune.
