Song of the Day: Sunny Day Real Estate - In Circles

I first heard Sunny Day Real Estate as a freshman in college, and listening to Diary, I figured the lead singer was a woman (think Thalia Zedek of Come). I was pretty obsessed with this album and Shudder to Think's Pony Express Record, thanks to my girlfriend at the time (ironically, I think she may have heard about them from her ex-boyfriend).

They became a pretty big cult band, and while I own all their records and even went to their reunion concert a couple years ago, I've never fully succumbed to the cult. Truth be told, I can't name more than a handful of songs that aren't on Diary - so perhaps needless to say, today's song of the day is in fact on that record. Which SDRE LP is your favorite?

Song of the Day: Come - Fast Piss Blues

This Village Voice piece made me remember how good the band Come were (are?), and I'm sad to read that many of their albums aren't even in print. Eleven: Eleven is a fantastic LP that sounds like a dirtier Sunny Day Real Estate, and I'm proud to say I own a copy on vinyl. Hopefully someday the band will get the reissues they deserve.
