Giveaway: The Family Guy Volume Six

You know what’s better than paying for things? Getting them for free.

As such, we have more swag to give away.

This time it’s the sixth volume of DVDs from The Family Guy, which contains episodes from the show’s fifth and sixth seasons. Including, it seems, the episode where Stewie kills Lois.

Here’s how that went down.

If you think you’d like to own this, send us an e-mail at tifaux -at- gmail -dot- com with the subject line “Focus on the Family.”

Music: Matt and Kim

Whatever you say about Matt and Kim, you can’t say they don’t have enthusiasm.

The Brooklyn duo — who are boyfriend and girlfriend — are not only known for their punky pop, but for their perma-smiles — smiles so broad that their faces seem like they could snap off and fly across the room at any moment.

The band’s debut incorporated a minimal set-up of drums (played by Kim) as well as vocals and keyboard (from Matt). The comparison’s easy, but they came across as a scrappy, slightly less cutesy Mates of State. What the band lacked in MoS’s syrupy melodies and harmonies, they made up for in energy and enthusiasm (hell, their first single was called “Yeah Yeah”).

Their new video, for the song “Daylight,” shows that they’ve spent a little more money in the studio and a bit more time developing their sound. I like the clickety-clack rhythm and bouncy melody. If everything on their next album is as fully-realized as this song, their second album should be an exciting step in a more sophisticated direction.
