Well, it's been well over a month since I've even looked at this thing and I have no idea why. I've relocated to Portland, and it's been great thus far.
The only people I seem to hang out with here are all originally from Vermont, and one of them turned me on to this bizarre, wonderful little gem of a band called NOse Bleed Island. I really don't know much about them, aside from what I've been told and what I've found online. But what I do know, I absolutely love.
Members of the band include Joey Pizza Slice, who I've heard is some sort of weirdo with filthy hair who does little aside from eat pizza in downtown Burlington and make strange catchy songs about Dracula, beating up Nazis, and being in love. Also rouding out the line-up is an 11 year old boy who often times can't actually play live because he has to go to bed.at a reasonable hour for an 11 year old.

They've got two records out on Bunny Huang Records, "silly sad circuits DEAD BABY in a jar", released in 2006, and "more tales from the Blood island", which was released the following year under the name NOse Bleed Island and the Blood Island Society.
Both of these albums are probably the best things I've heard in a god damn while. They're these sort of amazingly goofy, catchy, campy, lighthearted, lo-fi opuses, that will have you tapping your toes, scratching your head, and singing them to yourself for weeks after you first listen.
Also, here's a few videos they've made. Fucking genius.
