You may have noticed a lack of posting here recently. I've been in DC for the last few days for a wedding and to visit some friends, which has left me little time to work on posting anything here. I do have a few big things coming up over the next couple weeks, once I get settled into East Lansing, including my top 10 records of the half-year. Until there, here's a brief audio tour of my last few days. Never Going Back to New Jersey - Less Than Jake [...]

Happy Fourth of July dearest patriotic readers. To help you celebrate, we've put together a playlist of Independence Day-related tunes. Feel free to let them accompany your backyard BBQ or your late night bottlerocket launching. Ironically though, most of these songs came from major label records, not independent.
