VOTE! /// October 26, 2004 11:50 PM /// dispatch from Chris!
First of all, with the election a week away, DON'T FORGET TO VOTE... Especially those of you who will be voting in swing states!!! We can't afford another four years of Karl Rove and his cronies George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, John Ashcroft and Donald Rumsfeld. We've had enough of their evil already.
Now onto less-serious business: We've gotten a few new reviews as of late. Punk Planet gave the Morningsides a thumbs up in their new issue: "Rocking pop in the vein of Pavement if Pavement were more influenced by early Rolling Stones... A highly enjoyable release." The Wowz also got a wonderful review in the Columbia University Spectator last week: "Long Grain Rights is a folk-rock album reminiscent of Bob Dylan, with quirky, off-key Beach Boys harmonies and a lilting, tipsy pop sensibility reminiscent of early Beatles songs... This album is a gem no matter what sort of music you're into." There's also a review of Long Grain Rights and Nicotine Bubble Gum appearing in the upcoming issue of The Big Takeover: "The WoWz hark back to '60s sounds - Dylan on the dark imagery and acoustic, ramshackle 'When I Die'; a scruffier, folkier Hollies on 'He Wanders' -- but with a deliberate lack of polish that's very modern. The creaks and cracks in this music make it go down roughly, but they're what make it interesting." Way to go!!
