Song of the Day - Throats and Tongues Alone

The Body in the Kelp - Throats and Tongues Alone from The Body in the Kelp EP (2013)

I've heard a lot of voice samples, spoken word samples, movies and TV samples, and samples of all sorts in my day (and a lot that I have posted here), but never have I ever heard such a wicked Mainely sample as this one. This song truly speaks to my Maine maritime heart.



The Body in the Kelp are a group made up of musicians who came together for the Portland Space Gallery's 5th annual 48 Music Fest. I couldn't make it out to this year's festival, so I'm not sure who made up this stoner meets doom meets blues band... but if I had, I would have thanked them for this beautiful piece of art.

Christ bub!

Song of the Day - Devil Town (by way of cello doom!)

Correspondences - Devil Town from Christmas // Devil Town (2012)

Usually I wait to Wednesday to post covers but whatever...

Here's Correspondences (all-female cello-driven doom band formally of Portland, Maine) taking on Daniel Johnston (one of the most covered musicians of all time) and his all too familiar song for a lot of us living in devil towns with vampires as friends.



PS: I'm not sure why this song says it's by Lee (as in Lee King, the drummer?). It sounds like Correspondences to me and is on their bandcamp...

Lord Earth - Silicion from Napalm, Baby! (2012)

This number is from instrumental heavy metal heavyweights, Lord Earth. Lord Earth hails from my hometown of South Portland actually.

I'm not sure how I didn't hear about them until reading this short article in The Portland Phoenix today describing "Metal Mondays" as well as a sweeeeeet mention of Jesse Gertz AKA Glass Fingers and his new "sex music".

READ IT.



But now I know.

Song of the Day - Grot

St. Vincent - Grot from the KROKODIL Record Store Day 7'' (2012)

I just remembered this sick Record Store Day exclusive featuring St. Vincent doing her/their best doom metal meets indie rock impression. This is definitely one of St. Vincent's coolest things done this year... blah blah blah Twilight blah blah blah David Byrne.

This song can also be picked up for free, here!
