Coliseum Mix

Ryan from Coliseum posted a pretty awesome, DC-inspired mix over at Self-Titled. If that is your bag, check it out. Odds are, if you dig this kind of music, there probably won’t be much you haven’t already heard. However, sometimes the best mixes are chock full of classic jams. Pass it on

This track is from their newest album, Suicides Don’t Commit Themselves. Locks “that will never get blood out of a clown suit” from [...]

This is some great live footage shot of my friends Call Me Lightning, an excellent band from Milwaukee (now 1/3 Chicago). It looks like people at the show are actually having fun!
