Gonna buy a car and learn to drive -



Dudes. I've been busy lately and I promise I'll be a better blogger after the next few weeks. Stuff at work is crazy. I'll be done with school in 3 (count 'em) weeks. I've been sick for going on 3 weeks now as well. Tis the season I guess.

I got a package a week or two ago with a CD and some press materials as well. I lost everything but the CD that was simply labelled Modern Mega State. On my way out to get some milk this evening, I popped the CD into the car and was amazed. What (you ask) did my ears hear? Well, it was aural sugar. Ear candy of the highest quality. It was the sweet sweet sounds of 21 year old New YorkerDarla Rose and her autoharp. Reminiscent of (to me at least) the sounds of early Juliana Hatfield and even Frente, I can't tell you why I like this. I just do. Have a listen. Both tracks are great, but "Number One" just gets me every time. It is over before I'm ready every time. I'll just have to listen to it over and over.
