Bits and Pieces: Earth Day fun, hot bands, Dame Darcy & Teen Witch

+ It's Earth Day weekend! What are you doing to celebrate your love for Mama Earth? If you're in L.A., we highly recommend you get your palm read by Dame Darcy at Splash! A Celebration of Mermaids and the Sea (at UCLA's Fowler Museum), check out the Eco-Art Gallery at Topanga Earth Day, and go hear lots of live music (OMG, Juliette Lewis's band) at Santa Monica Pier. The last one's for the Green Apple Festival, which also has parties going on in New York, Miami, D.C. (The Roots!), Chicago, Dallas, and San Francisco. (Liz)

+ The 13th Annual Record & CD Convention is taking place at Montreal's Venus Hall (6086 Sherbrooke East) this Saturday (April 19th) from 10 AM to 4 PM. (Laura)

+ Dead Meadow will be playing at Montreal's Club Lambi on Wednesday the 23rd, which should rule. I am not going to specify the exact location of Club Lambi, because if you live in Montreal and would go to see Dead Meadow, I'm pretty sure you know where Club Lambi is. (Laura)

+ Just to reiterate, Ver Sacrum's new single, "Rishikesh/Marrakech" is up at the band's Myspace, totally rules, and should be listened to, countless times, by YOU. (Laura)

+ Other good things happening in L.A. this weekend: the Tiny Creatures closing party for Art Show No. 9, featuring free raw vegan food (provided by Crops and Rawbers) and performances by No Age, Ima Gymnist, Softboiled Eggies, and Weave (Saturday night, 9 to midnight); the free No Age/Mika Miko show Sunday afternoon at the L.A. Public Library (starts at 2; more info here). (Liz)

+ Hey, sorry we're so Montreal- and L.A.-centric this week! To make it up to you, here's a really special Friday treat. A little bird from Brooklyn just informed me that there's a remake of Teen Witch in the works, which gives us the perfect opportunity to post this clip - probably the fiercest freestyle battle ever caught on film. (Liz)
