STRANGE SITINGS
http://www.bad-candy.com As Halloween approaches, this site could be useful to weed out all the nasty candy masquerading in store-bought wrappers. Anybody remember Circus Peanuts? Pico? Tiger Eyes? Chances are, if you've had any of these you've blocked it out. If you want to instigate a gag reflex, visit this site.
CODE NAMES
BAND NAME: The Tim Version.
Their sound: Formerly called Jay's Ex-girlfriend. Tampa based quartet's member Sean Watkins describes their sound as Southeastern punk and roll.
