We’d Rather Punch Ourselves In The Neck Than Listen To A Jason Mraz Tune, BUT…
…add a ukulele and a munchkin. We melt. We simply melt.
And we forget all about Mraz’s stupid hats and all of that “Mr. A to Z” garbage.

ROCK OF ASIAN: The Jack Lords
Last night, while celebrating the publication of Listen Again: A Momentary History of Pop Music in lovely, oft-ignored Downtown LA, Christine Balance (shown rocking her accordian above) made a five-minute case for the pop listener’s re-contextualization of The Breeders’ vintage strummer, “Drivin’ on 9.” As she broke down her deep and sincere love for Kim Deal, I fell a bit in love with Balance–and was delighted to hear the shameless plug for her sweet isle-indie new wave band The Jack Lords.
Let their gentle ocean tunes take you away! And then listen again.
