Music is the Junk, kid!

This random girl came up to me at the bar tonight. We talked for a little bit, and my safe haven for an uncomfortable conversation with someone I don't know and would rather not be talking to is music. That's where I'm most comfortable. For the sake of this conversation, we shall refer to this female as "girl". For any of the few who read this, if anyone actually does, I apologize if this sounds bad.

GIRL: "Kyle, who is your favorite band?"
KYLE: "Well, girl I'm not intrigued by, my favorite band is Junkie Rush."
GIRL: "Who is Junkie Rush?"
KYLE: "The best band in the world"
GIRL: "No really, who are they?"
KYLE: "They're a local Orlando band with a very eclectic range of influences that I associate some of my best memories of FL with. (Ending sentences with prepositions is the new hotness, despite what some might think)

Blah, blah, blah. JR is coming out with their first album of new tracks since my sophomore year in college. I've heard several of the songs at the lives shows that I have been attending (when I can) for years. Needless to say, this is some of the best news I've heard in a long time. I also don't want to neglect their most recent LIVE album which deserves equal acclaim to JR and JRII.

I encourage everyone interested in worthwhile music to check them out at www.junkierush.com / www myspace.com/junkierush

FUN FACT: I've yet to introduce JR to someone who did not end up loving their work.

So, if you're From The Dirt, Sitting On A Wave, or have a Cross On Your Back, then enjoy what they've prepared FYE = FOR YOUR EYES!
