Song of the Day - Your carpet is my ceiling

K.C. Milian - Your carpet is my ceiling from K.C. Milian EP (2004)

Happy first day of Spring!

Enjoy it with some laid-back post rock that's a little bit screamo with American Football-like trumpets.

Song of the Day - Just Because You Can't See My Invisible Force Field Doesn't Mean It's Not There

Dakota/Dakota - Just Because You Can't See My Invisible Force Field Doesn't Mean It's Not There from Shoot in the Dark + (2010) (originally from 2004)

Before there was Russian Circles, the post metal gurus, there was Dakota/Dakota, a math rock ensemble. I would have guessed Dakota/Dakota was a Don Caballero side project from the sound of them combined with their lengthy/unique song title chooses, but no, Mike Sullivan (guitar) and Colin DeKuiper (bass) were both in this band before jumping over to metal.

Song of the Day - Caramel

Piglet - Caramel from Lava Land (2005)

One of the most underrated instrumental math rock groups of the 2000's, and I don't use that 'underrated' word lightly.

 

For fans of music.

Match of the Day - The first fans bring the LEGO deathmatch!

Flip vs. Stinky the Homeless Guy - Fans Bring The LEGO Deathmatch - Inter Species Wrestling 4 Years of This?! (2009)

Flip takes on his former Lady and the Tramp tag team partner, the late Stinky the Homeless Guy in a match featuring everyone's favorite childhood building toys, LEGOs!

Before you start rolling your eyes at me internet goers, hear me out: Would you rather not get put through a table, get fluorescent lights smashed over your head, or step on a Lego? I know which one I'd rather not have to deal with... the Lego one, of course! That shit hurts like hell.

Okay, so being slammed on some Legos wouldn't be as painful as, say, a gusset or a kenzan (look it up), but  you gotta at least give it up to these two for going where not a lot of wrestlers had gone before... the toy box.

Also, check out that sweet D'Lo Brown Lego vest! This match touches all my childhood nostalgia buttons.

Song of the Day - Smith & Jones Forever

Silver Jews - Smith & Jones Forever from American Water (1998)

One of my favorite songs and the last song that Silver Jews ever performed live.

Finals week is finished!

Here's one off the new album:

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...
