Copacetically Fatal Jamz

A merman needs a mermaid.

Sure, we found fins and scales in our nethersector after that string of scorpion bites, but so far the only thing fatal about our attraction to this L.A. psychpopper is that it was apparently meant to be. Besides, death loseth its sting when you land on some Elysian hillside, wot?

We love/l.u.v. Love L.U.V.

Do we really need to spell out why we're l.u.v.ing this London band? Of course not.

Elusive Parallelograms Become Less Elusive

We recently noticed we were not the only ones nonplussed over the apparent demise of excellent label Rainbow Quartz. The excellent Horsethrottle at the excellent Popnarcotic explores the issue far better than we could hope to do. We lost a lot of valuable links when RQ went "poof," and one of the most lamented was Milwaukee band, Elusive Parallelograms. So imagine our joy upon receiving Team Clermont's weekend email letting us know EP are still in business. (That's right, you can't, but thanks for trying.) We've posted below the one that best plunked our twanger back when, plus another that also does nice things. Click here and here for more.

Update: Well, surprise, surprise. We find that Bandcamp has decided to add other songs in each widget, so, like, good.

Another Update: Well, woe, woe, they've gone "poof" again (elusive indeed), but we did find "Orange" and others here. Hear "Orange."
