Pill Friends - Prayers from 420 Love Songs (second 40) (2013)
This little number comes from a compilation of love songs mostly by the people associated with Teen Suicide, Julia Brown, Infinity Crush, and Ricky Eat Acid. It's actually the second compilation of 40 songs compiled for this project so far and there's a lot more to come.
You can check out all the tracks and a little write up about them on the 420 Love Songs tumblr.
The tagline to this project is: "it's like Magnetic Fields but not as good".
I'd say it's just a lot more lo-fi.

Match of the Day - The new Macho Man takes on the old Mach Man's brother
"Black Machismo" Jay Lethal vs. "The Genius" Lanny Poffo - Pro Wrestling Syndicate New Jersey indie show (2007)
Channeling the spirit of Macho Man within, "Black Machismo" Jay Lethal takes on the real-life brother of the late great Macho Man Randy Savage, Lanny Poffo, best known for his time in WWF as "Leaping" Lanny Poffo or a bit more remembered as The Genius. The 50 something year old looks in great shape here and even pulls of some pretty agile moves including a moonsault... yep, some Terry Funk shit right there.
Unfortunately for Lanny, the much younger Jay Lethal pulls away with the win despite Lanny's best efforts to beat his "brother from another mother, so to speak".
The commentary is pretty poor, what more would you except from an indie show in New Jersey, and I have no idea what Jay Lethal said during and after the match. Other than that, this isn't really that bad of a match. Unless watching a 50 year old man wrestle in his speedo against a young wrestler pretending to be his brother isn't your thing, of course.
Cameo: Jay Lethal's family as Lethal is a native to New Jersey.

Song of the Day - Today We Stand
Match of the Day - Wrestlemania X-Seven's triple threat hardcore title match
Hardcore Wednesday:
In one of the most memorable hardcore Wrestlemania, the hardcore champion, Raven must battle the two biggest wrestlers WWF had in 2001, Kane and the Big Show.
This hardcore match lasts about a minute in the ring before making its way to the backstage area where many memorable spots are performed including: Raven getting thrown through a glass window, Raven slipping and almost getting run over by the cart, and Kane and the Big Show going through a door then through a wall. The match ends at the entrance way when the Big Show and Raven both fall off the side of the entrance ramp into a cloud of smoke giving Kane the chance to perform what looks like a blind flying leg drop into the carnage to the side of the ramp. Kane ends up landing on the Big Show and gets the pinfall to become the new hardcore champion at the seventeenth annual Wrestlemania.
Overall a very enjoyable worked match!
During this match we also learn that Paul Heyman's favorite type of snapple is diet peach.

Song of the Day - Paper Thin
RVIVR - Paper Thin from The Beauty Between (2013)
The Beauty Between is RVIVR's new album released just yesterday after being pushed back for almost a year.
"Paper Thin" is currently my favorite track with "The Hunger Suite I. Go Away" creeping close behind.
You can grab the whole album for free (or by donation ;) ) at the Rumbletowne Records homepage or pay 10 punk dollars for it on their Bandcamp.
"Paper Thin" can also be heard on RVIVR's Belebend 7-inch along with the demo version of "Wrong Way/One Way".

Match of the Day - The young and the ridiculous
Konnan vs. "Dangerous" Devon Storm - WCW Monday Night Nitro (1996)
One year before having a short run with WWF in their short-lived light heavyweight division, Devon Storm took to the skies, ropes, chairs, stairs, and what ever he could jump off of as the spot hungry, "Dangerous" Devon Storm in WCW to take on Konnan, the current US heavyweight champion at the time.
Both of these athletes would later reinvent themselves in WCW many years later as Konnan made a name for himself again as a member of NWO Wolfpac and eventually with The Filthy Animals while Devon Storm went on to be a bet more of an uncanny competitor as he donned the ripped jeans and went by Crowbar as he aligned himself with Zombie-hot but screams like a banshee Daffney and the Nature Boy's dysfunctional son, David Flair.
Konnan defeats Devon Storm with somewhat ease as he clearly was a very capable and skilled wrestler. Being a well-trained wrestler is not what get's you big in pro wrestler believe it or not, however, and Konnan would pretty much get overlooked through most of his career in WCW up until about the point where he just started wearing the street clothes and all that. One place he definitely wasn't overlooked at was Mexico considering Konnan was basically the John Cena of his day in Mexica.
That's a big deal I've heard.

Song of the Day - Arboreal Gallows (Mandagora I)
Botanist - Arboreal Gallows (Mandragora I) from IV: Mandragora (2013)
Some kind of black metal about plants using only drums and a dulcimer by a guy named Otrebor . At first it sounds like a guy with an electrical voice box banging on metal and a marching snare drum, but it gets enjoyable in a weird way once you listen to it a few more times.
Or don't. I don't care.
