Baltimore County police are investigating an assault outside of Woodlawn High School Friday after a video was posted on YouTube. The incident took place sometime after school but does not appear to have been reported to police, according to a statement from the department. The victim and a 17-year old suspect have been identified, police said, but it is unclear if the teen will be charged as an adult or a juvenile. Police spokeswoman Cpl. Cathy Batton said investigators are still trying to determine if Woodlawn students were involved in the incident.

If you're in need of a jolt and your Friday morning coffee isn't doing the trick, watch this video for Ed Schrader's Music Beat's song "Radio Eyes. " The song comes from "Sub Pop 1000," the Record Store Day compilation from the famous Seattle record label. There are still a few copies available here . Not much to say here other than this song rips, and the video (directed by Philip Leaman and Zoie Omega) is appropriately silly and fun. Schrader might perform it on Saturday when he joins the Dan Deacon Ensemble, Snails, Moss of Aura and Alle Alle for a show at Current Space.

For at least a generation of pop-culture consumers, the soundtrack of their lives has included themes from the likes of Mega Man and Super Mario. As they've grown up, the music of video games has branched out - to solo piano, to rock concerts and to symphonic performances. Among the developments is the University of Maryland's Gamer Symphony Orchestra, whose 100-plus members will take to the stage at College Park's Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center on Saturday, May 4. "The quality of video-game music has grown exponentially over the years," says Joel Guttman, president-elect of the group, which specializes in arranging and performing pieces taken from the background music on video games such as Halo, Sonic the Hedgehog and Final Fantasy.
