Third Show!
I've got a few hours before heading to KC to see the Camera Obscura/Pony Up! show, so I figured, why not post the delinquent playlist from last week's show! Suddenly, this week snuck up on me and I have to review the new Of Montreal album for a class on Thursday all professional like and it's stressing, you know, listening to it over and over and over again and trying to figure out how to express my excitement in a professional manner.

Band of the Week
Sprites
Sprites are formed from the ashes of the band Barcelona (who are responsible for the wonderfully cute song "I Have the Password to Your Shell Account"), that is, Barcelona founder Jason Korzen rising out of them and playing infectious, geeky, twee pop. The music sounds a lot like Tullycraft, but synthier and dorkier. For instance, the song that completely caught me off guard and caused me to investigate their album Modern Gameplay was a track dedicated to horror filmmaker George Romero. In the song he also name drops horror luminaries like Dario Argento, Tom Savini, Stuart Gordon, and Sam Raimi. As a film kid, this warms my heart like none other. Listen to this song, please.
Sprites - George Romero
Tune in next week for a very special Valentine's Day special, where I will be playing songs that would fit nicely on that Valentine's Day mix you're making for that special girl or boy in your life!
