Sub Pop Killed the Radio Star

Excuse my ignorance, but when the hell did 7-Eleven start selling DVDs? So far the presence of music DVDs among your Bring It Ons and your Problem Child 2s has been rare, but you gotta figure it's only a matter of time before you'll be able to pick up the Residents' Icky Flixalong with your scratch tickets and 128oz Mello Yello.

So keep your eyes peeled next time you stop by your local convenience store, as Sub Pop is set to release a new DVD video collection, and we want to see it stocked EVERYWHERE!

It's called Acquired Taste, it's out next Tuesday, May 9, and it's by our most popular band: Various Artists!

Acquired Taste compiles 25 videos from such fresh-faced upstarts as Sleater-Kinney, Low, Mudhoney, the Shins, Wolf Parade, Iron and Wine, yadda yadda yadda. Eye these please:
