Song of the Day - Wyatt's Song

Vacation - Wyatt's Song from Do Shit (2010)

Lo-fi pop punk from Cinci. Not to be confused with Summer Vacation or Vacations.

Those guitars in the beginning man, oh my.

You can DL Vacation's The Do Shit Disc for free at the always awesome website, If You Make It Dot Com.

Song of the Day - Get Along Well

Safe - Get Along Well from Safe EP (2010)

Safe is Christopher F. Edley III playing some kind of minimal pop stuff.

Safe EP was "recorded in a secret way in a secret basement".

This same 'Safe' is also playing a show in Portland on April 19th with Conjjjecture, Altered Gee, Glass Fingers, and Duey Meadows at the Darkmouth Castle (on Dartmouth Street where my old dentist office was). Rumor has it this will be Glass Fingers (AKA Jesse Gertz) last show as Glass Fingers. Dundundun!

There may also be a new Safe album at said show as well.

Song of the Day - I Cry (K.Y.)

Nasty Negligee - I Cry (K.Y.) from Level 3 (2012)

Despite closing for a very mixed bag of local acts and a touring band as eardrum shattering as Host, Sterling Black and the rest of the gang put on a fine performance yesterday for their Sunday matinee punk show in Portland.

Too bad everyone left to go to work or to church or wherever/whatever people do after 6 o'clock on Sundays...

Song of the Day - Keep Your Opinions To Yourself

Host - Keep Your Opinions To Yourself from Split w/ KYOTY (2012)

Just learned that this quite angry hardcore outfit from New Hampshire will be playing a show in my neck of the woods real soon (Portland, Maine)! These guys put out a very solid but much too short split with KYOTY, this song is named after the abbreviation, which features my favorite Keep Your Opinions To Yourself track and, after a long time thinking it out, my definitive song of the year 2012.

KYOTY might not be playing with Host as far as I know, but these guys seem to be a well-oiled wrecking crew of good times all by themselves from the sound of 'em!

I'm pretty pumped for all the awesomeness still coming Portland's way...

Match of the Day - Bunkhouse Battle Royal

WWF Bunkhouse Battle Royal - WWF Boston Garden House Show (1987)

Here's a perfect send-off for theme week, it's a mid/late-80's come as you are, wear what you want Bunkhouse Battle Royal.

This battle royal features many great and/or forgotten 80's superstars in their street clothes including: Don Muraco, Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart (first to be eliminated), Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake, Jimmy Jack Funk, Danny Spivey, Mr. Fuji (in a suit), Greg "The Hammer" Valentine, Hillbilly Jim, Dick Slater, Scotty Mcghee (gets carried out via stretcher), Sika, The Islanders, "Cowboy" Bob Orton, Corporal Kirschner, King Kong Bundy, Pre-I.R.S. Mike Rotundo, The Duke of Dorchester (not to be confused with Duke the Dumpster), some guy dressed up as a knight, and Blackjack Mulligan (the winner).

Blackjack Mulligan comes up with the win after help from The Duke who hits King Kong Bundy with a chair allowing Mulligan time to take off his cowboy boot and clock Bundy over his big noggin before being pushed out of the ring.

This little piece of history comes from an early Coliseum Video exclusive called, WWF's Even More Unusual Matches.
