...British space-rock-blues band has twice ducked the “difficult third album,” releasing an EP (Machismo) and an oddities album (Abandoned Shopping Trolley Hotline). After an 18-month hiatus, In Our Gun is a spine-tingling return to the scene. A supremely confident and playful album, it reworks Gomez’ signature bluesy sound without sacrificing any of their trademark oddball goofiness...
...band, Radish, was the subject of a bidding war that garnered national attention. The band broke up in 1999 and Kweller moved to Brooklyn to begin his solo career. In the years following he opened for Guster and Evan Dando tours, while also releasing the short EP Come Home.

I am thinking about getting more readers for my thesis later on in the process, but it is also good not to have a million people...
...EP: When I have a deadline, it forces me to write something. I had a really hard time trying to write over the summer when there were no concrete due dates—I would write a paragraph, obsess over revising it and making it perfect, then I would go watch TV or something. When I know I need a story done in a couple days, I’ll crank it out in a few sittings and not worry so much about perfecting every sentence. If I’m feeling uninspired, reading some published stories (by other authors...
