It's going to be pretty impossible to profile every band playing After the Jump 's CMJ week events in-depth. There's just too much goodness to go around.

I spent most of the summer in a new music funk, disappointed by the quality of the releases invading my headspace, and turning to neglected records from the past to comfort me in my disillusionment. The tide seems to be turning, though I'm not sure what it's connected to. Perhaps the sustained temperate air of New York's unusually generous August?

As I have in all the melted months since I've been associated with MS, [...]

Pour descendre l'A6 et éviter de rester collé sur la programmation musicale névrotique d'AUTOROUTE FM (" 74kms de bouchons après VALENCE, la la la la la, ....") ou les redifs au parfum de suicide de STOP OU ENCORE sur RTL ; Pour ne pas être obligé de se payer une nouvelle paire de tympans à la rentrée après une sortie en discothèque obligatoire avec les colocs de la maison ("allez viens, on va bien se marrer.

handpocket eisenhower is the father www.myspace.com/bestfriendsfor everandfriends A friend of mine mentioned to me a couple days ago that I should check out Best Friends Forever because she thought I might like them, and she was oh-so correct.

They have an album for sale on Say And Stay [...]
