Gatsbys American Dream - “Fable” (Volcano)

Semi-unrelated post of the week! Gatsbys American Dream is one of my favorite bands, and they just got back together. Why are they awesome? Their music rules and the songs are full of awesome references. “Fable” is the best song ever written about Lord of the Flies, and the lines about “the island” can be applied to LOST. The rest of this album has references to Fable, the Ender’s Game series (my favorite!) and Lord of the Rings.

Here’s where it gets semi-LOST related. In 2006, they released a self-titled album that includes tracks called “Station 5: The Pearl” and “You All Everybody,” which is awesome even though it isn’t a Drift Shaft cover.
