I met Guy Capecelatro III some time around 1994, when he played guitar and wrote songs for a New Hampshire band called *Toast*.

Coming May 27: Cathedral Ceilings – “Summer of Misguided Dynamite”
Last summer, we were fortunate enough to catch a couple of shows by *Cathedral Ceilings* as they put together a few weekenders to celebrate what seemed like the end of the pandemic that’s never going to end, and to support the two singles they’d released on Dromedary.

New cover: “Plainsong”
The latest *Smallpox* cover to be added to The Covers Album is “Plainsong,” originally recorded by The Cure on their Disintigration LP.

It’s Bandcamp Day, and definitely time for a new cover from *Smallpox*. If you haven’t been following along, and have just stumbled onto the site today for whatever reason, Smallpox is a collective music project spearheaded by Dan Smith (Shirk Circus, The 65’s, solo). In late 2020, they released their debut album _…For A Girl_ on Eyeball Records. In conjunction with that release, we’ve been dipping into their massive library of cover songs, releasing a new one every other week or so. You can get them for a dollar each, or $18 for the whole bunch, including immediate access to each new one as we upload them.
This week’s cover is the band’s take on “Caribou,” by The Pixies. Despite the fact that we know he’s a Pixies fan, when we asked Dan about this one, here’s what he said:
“My memory is kind of sketchy, but I think this was the first cover Bob (drummer Bob Diamond) and I recorded. I’m pretty sure we were actually trying to record one of my songs, but this dumpster fire happened instead.
From then on, that kind of became our work ethic – get trashed, and if we happened to overdo it, record covers instead. And, as you can tell from the amount of cover songs we’ve done, that happened pretty often.
Fun fact: altogether, Bob and I have been playing together since around 1991, but we’ve never actually played a show together.”
Two new Smallpox covers today!
Check out “Drive” and “Eyes Without A Face,” the latest in the yearlong project from *Smallpox* called _The Covers Album_. We’ve been adding a new cover song to this ever-expanding album every other week (or so), and we’re up to 16 now. You can buy them for a buck each, or you can get every one of them (including the ones we’ll be adding as the year progresses) for $18. EIGHTEEN DOLLARS!

I’m A Band!
It’s summertime, and there can’t be anything more summery than two blasts of power pop from *Cathedral Ceilings*. We’re happy to announce the pre-order of _I’m A Band_, the band’s second single.
You might recall their debut, _Thanks For The Guitar, Mommy_, which sold out in two days. This one is also available in limited-edition lathe-cut format (as well as in the digital format of your choice), but you should pick up your copy quick, because like all our other lathe-cut releases, once we’re out, we’re out. No re-presses!
The single is out July 9. Preorder yours today “here”:https://dromedaryrecords.bandcamp.com/album/im-a-band
