These are probably some of the funniest, cutest, and most honest music reviews you’ll ever see. The people over at Scrapple.tv run a weekly web TV show called Breakfast at Sulimay’s. The show takes place inside a diner in the Fishtown neighborhood of Philly. Every week, Bill, Ann, and Joe listen to some current artists and give us their honest, unadulterated opinions. In this video they review Dan Deacon’s “Snookered,” The Doves’ “Kingdom of Rust.” I can’t get enough of these. Why are they hating so much on Dan Deacon? On a side note, Joe is the man.
