& for next week, Nursing Home Discoveries!

Happy 2012 everybody! Members of B3nson have decided to challenge themselves with the task of collectively releasing at least 1 new song for every week of 2012. Home recordings, demos, live stuff, remixes, collaborations… anything goes! This week we have a long-lost demo from Eric Krans (of The Parlor) recorded sometime between 2009′s “Animals Are People Too” and 2012′s “Our Day In the Sun”. This song is called Lightning In A Jar and it is absolutely terrific!

Pinguinos does Blood
& for next week, Swamp Baby!

Inspired largely by the arrival of a little girl named Emily Wing, Swamp Baby’s second full-length album on Collar City Records, For Baby’s Babies, is a labor of love that isn’t afraid to tread deep into the shadows every now and then. Like their 2010 debut All Fours, all the basic tracks (and a fair amount of overdubs) for the new album were recorded at the Interfaith Peace Temple in Greenville NY. The heat of 90 degree summer days in the foothills of the Catskills again informs the sound – …

Emily Stewart does Matthew Carefully
& for next week, The Neighborhood of Make Believe!

The Family Fang should probably be a movie.  A few reviews have even compared author Kevin Wilson’s writing to the work of Wes Anderson.  This comparison works well enough.  The book centers around a dysfunctional and quirky family comprised of a beautiful actress, her brother, and artist parents that are oblivious to everyone but themselves.  The pages are full of dry humor with a few touching moments for good measure.  As a comedy, this book works well.  Beyond that, it falls a bit short.
