MP3: The Roots of Orchis - Two Notch Road

The Roots of Orchis officially called it a day, but were kind enough to finish what is to be their final record: Empty Lands Ahead and Behind. It's available through their Bandcamp at a pay what you want for it deal. Also available: a free download of Live at the Casbah, a live gig of theirs recorded and their first LP remastered for cheap. All worth it, RIP dudes.

Joey On Out Of The Fierce Parade:

This album changed my life completely. And I don't mean listening to it. I mean I never would've left Connecticut, made the connections I made or anything without the existence of this album. For that it will always be special, but musically it is so perfect it only adds to the myth of it for me. And for the record, I would like the closing song "Death" to be played at my funeral.
