Secondhand Sunday: Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin “Pangea”

I’m in a very Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin mood over here today. The boys are starting to line up some tour dates for early December, including a show at Brooklyn’s Bell House on December 7th. What a lovely holiday treat this will be! In other news, Polyvinyl Records recently posted that we should be on the lookout for a compiliation of the band’s unreleased, b-sides and alternate version songs due out sometime soon. This edition of Secondhand Sunday is the video for “Pangea” which reminds me so much of autumn and falling leaves and everything being so beautiful. There is nothing more comforting on a cold fall day than some SSLYBY. Enjoy!

FEATURE: NEW SOMEONE STILL LOVES YOU BORIS YELTSIN VIDEO ‘GLUE GIRLS’

Just recieved a message from Mr. Phil Dickey of Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin himself alerting us that there is a new video for ‘Glue Girls’!. The video is packed with action (you’ll see what I mean) and adds to the catalog of great and amusing SSLYBY videos.  The video is actually ‘unoffical’ as it was made by two friends of the band, Brooke and Matt for a local video competition. Kudos to them though! This is definatly their most theatric video to date. Check it out! You saw it here first!

New Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin ‘Cardinal Rules’

There has been a talk for quite some time in the Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin camp about a studio version of ‘Cardinal Rules,’ a song the band had written about their hometown minor league baseball team, The Springfield  Cardinals. The band have been playing the ever poppy tune at recent shows and it instantly became a favorite amongst fans. Will the tune be on the new record? No word on that yet, but there is word of SSLYBY working on their third record as we speak. The plans after that are to go back on tour, and we just can’t wait!

Drew Danburry ‘Memorial Day’

Just when you didn’t think we could find a song about Memorial Day we proved you wrong. Indie artist Drew Danburry who has just recently toured with those lovely lads in Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin, hasn’t always had it easy when he comes to music (remember his disaster of a tour in 2008?), but it doesn’t stop him from making brilliant songs. We’re sure he is of the very few musicians to have a song about Memorial Day (at least that we know of). Maybe he wrote it just for that reason.
