Episode 9 (10/16)
Buy a pollution tape! These guys are making some exciting music and selling their record nasty.DNA on cassette for only $7. That is, if there are still copies left now that you're all late getting into this band.

Rip Smops is a weirdo, in an endearing sort of way. If you like atonal music (and short, goofy songs), I'd recommend getting his newest record Life Is Sad. At the very least, go here to read his biography, it's pretty entertaining.
1979: "Wrote songs that were vaguely punkish in character, but melodic, on my organ. Played with esoteric neo-surf band The Egotones and more basic rock/punk band The Ex-Minds, on drums. Had love affair with Norma Jean, a crazy blonde model/escort glamour weirdo. Became a bike messenger. Lived in groovy Little Italy apartment owned by Mafia types, across from the original Ray's Pizza. First of many failed attempts to form my own band."
I played the "Nightendday" audio from Pelican's live DVD After the Ceiling Cracked. The trailer for which is here:
Also, Pelican just debuted their new video for "Lost in the Headlights" from City of Echoes:
Circle Takes the Square's Ritual of Names video blog. Get excited.
