Diving Onto Torche’s “Grenades”

torche.jpgWhen I was asked to guest-blog, I was truly upset that the gig wouldn’t be like “Weird Al” Yankovic hosting AL-TV in 1988 and I could just play Utopia videos all day. Luckily one of the bestest rock bands around dropped a new track on their MySpace page, thus barely meeting the vaguest, most minimal of requirements for a “news peg”!

Miami sludge-pop band Torche have unleashed Grenades,” the latest song of their upcoming, totally righteous Meanderthal, the best album with a comically embarrassing title since–oh, let’s say Endtroducing. If you haven’t heard them before, Torche is like the Melvins with Animal Collective harmonies, which we used to call Beach Boys harmonies back in my day. If you have heard Torche, well, they still sound like that.

Study of diving beetles suggest sperm evolution may be driven by changes in female reproductive organs
"Male diving beetles have suction cups on their feet that they use to grab on to the females. They can even prevent the females from breathing when they're holding on to their backs, which may be an attempt to pressure them into mating."

    “Mad props,” as the kids might say, for the Utopia shoutout.
