new music: The Henry Clay People - California Wildfire

sometimes I forget that THCP are from California. they're so uncool and they embrace it and rock your socks off. kinda like Pavement, who are also from California.
anyways, this song is from their forthcoming This Is a Desert EP, and it's awesome.
