This past week was Siren-tastic here at Knox Road, and for good reason: it ruled. Siren, that is. We rule, too, but try to not make as big of a deal about it.
But we understand if you were too busy to check out the blog this week; after all, you might have been preparing the past few days for Shark Week on Discovery Channel, which kicks off today! The picture above is the channel’s HQ in Silver Spring, Md. I don’t know how a shark ended up stuck in the building, but hey, they’re some intense animals.

Rawkblog: “Premiere: Scott Bartenhagen – ‘Beacons’” Rawkblog supplies us with a wonderful, Andrew Bird-but-smoother track. Check it out. That piano through the song feels both as if it’s from another age and genre, but still fits so beautifully.
