* I’m on so many e-mail lists from so many candidates and political organizations that I’m literally overwhelmed every day and more than a little turned off. So I was pleasantly surprised to see this e-mail arrive yesterday via one of this site’s “contact” links…
Dear Capitol Fax,
My name is Lane Smith and I currently work with some up and coming indie bands here in Birmingham AL. One such band is called Let’s Manufacture Static. Its one of my management projects but also one of my new favorite bands. I am really hoping to get some coverage outside of this area. We have recently performed an interview on the local NPR stations and lots of local shows. I have included the EP that you can also find elsewhere on the internet. I hope you guys like this and take an interest. In the rare case that you don’t any feedback is greatly appreciated.

* From the band’s Facebook page…
The Jimblejorp once proclaimed that a breed of giants would emerge from clouds and descend upon instruments in the form of man. This band is not those descendants. Furthermore, the Jimblejorp is only rumored to exist, much less tell prophecies, even much less tell them accurately. These are just four guys from Birmingham Al, who aspire to outlandish genres of musical creation and exploration, such as Extraterrestrial Jive, Metalo-Tribal Jazz Splice, Post-Minimalist Avant Pop, just to name a superfluous few. If you see the Jimblejorp, report him to this band for a reward and the authorities for benefit of humanity.
* They’re actually pretty good. I used the band’s EP as background music this morning when writing the Capitol Fax. You need to let this play a bit while it picks up steam, but definitely have a listen…
What do you think?

So far so good….
Don’t kid us Rich, we all know most of the e-mail you get starts with…
“Dear Capitol Fax, I never thoughts those items you post were true. But recently I was delivering a pizza….”

Sounds like the General Assembly at work; starts out really slow, a lot of groaning, yelling begins, picks up speed as they go, everyone joins in and no one has any idea what was said or done.

I guess I gotta start going easier on Alabama on the blog. This makes two postings on ‘Bama bands in less than a week.
Oh, well, there’s always Mississippi.

I like it. WazUp, you’re absolutely correct.

This blog has always provided a terrific place to really understand issues through the smart, wide ranging opinions, interests, knowledge, and snark of the people who come here. Now this side track of finding new music is developing. The Shakes last week, now LM Static. Keep it up! There is so much good stuff out there that never gets heard.

I dig it, Rich. I do like your forays into music as of late, keep it up! The Illinois political world needs more quality music.
