Song of the Day: Typhoon “Dreams of Cannibalism”

Typhoon is set to release their third full-length album, White Lighter, on August 2oth via Roll Call Records.  The first single from the record has been released and is available as a free download.  Dreams Of Cannibalism fits right in with the rest of their catalog and has me real excited to hear a new album from one of our current favorite artists.

Preparing for Season 4 of Arrested Development

We’re now less than a week away from being able to marathon watch the 4th season of Arrested Development, and like the rest of you, we can hardly contain ourselves.  The wife and I have been watching through the first 3 seasons for the upteempth time in preparation for AD’s glorious return.  So if you’re like me and have Arrested Development on the brain and can’t seem to get it out, here are a couple great web-sites to help fill the time and enhance your watching experience as you  have the original seasons on repeat for the rest of the week.  The 26th cannot get here soon enough.

Previously on Arrested Development

This great web app put together by NPR is a wonderful guide to all the recurring jokes on the show and does a great job of pointing out all of the foreshadowing of different gags, as well as the more subtle references to recurring jokes that are going on in the background.

Arrested Development Superfan Quiz

This is a great 50 question quiz to help you find out just how big of a fan (nerd) you are.  I’m a little disappointed in myself, as I only scored a 40 out of 50.

Recurring Devlopments

This another fun web-site giving you an interactive visualization of all the recurring jokes throughout the series.

Hopefully these sites will help make the next few days a little more bearable. Watch out for hop-ons. You’re gonna get some hop-ons.

Song of the Day: Foxygen “No Destruction”

Foxygen is the LA-based duo of Sam France and Jonathan Rado.  A lot of bands lately have been putting out records that sound as if they’re straight out of the 60′s, and Foxygen’s latest release, We Are The 21st Century Ambassadors Of Peace & Magic definitely fits that bill.  You can’t help but think of the Rolling Stones or Velvet Underground when you hear today’s song, “No Destruction.”

Song of the Day: Guards “Ready to Go”

Our song of the day is from the 2013 album, In Guards We Trust. Guards frontman Richie Follin is the brother of Cults’ Madeline, and you definitely hear the similarities in their hook-laden musical styling.  If you were a fan of the Cults album, this album is a must listen.
