Everyone hangs flags outside their windows


Hello everyone, and welcome to another beautiful Thursday on Looks Like Coffee, Tastes Like Juice. Today's post will feature the band of the week, which I will announce in the upcoming paragraph. So, sit tight, and brace yourself for the unparalleled power of ... the band of the week.

Band Of The Week : Portastatic

Portastatic is an American band, formed in the early 90's by Mac McCaughan, who is the main contributor to the band. Portastatic started off as a solo project for Mr.McCaughan (of Superchunk fame) but has evolved into a full-fledged band. Since their conception in the early 90's, Portastatic has released a whopping 17 LP's & EP's. So, here's a track from their 2003 album, The Summer Of The Shark. This track was recently played on the This American Life podcast, entitled "#166: Nobody's Family Is Going to Change", which was a spectacular episode.
