But this is a stop the presses kind of deal as it's about a band near to my heart. John Condron and the the Benefit (Myspace/Facebook), a great Joliet by way of Philly/Chicago rock group, have been more active than usual lately. In fact they've just put up three unmastered songs from their forthcoming (still no arrival date or artwork) release Eleventh Hour Grace. The pick of the litter, available in link form at the end of this post, is Paper Planes, a groovy little rock number that I've been hearing in various iterations live for the past year now. So, it's nice to actually have a copy I can listen to any time I want.
The other two, Blurred and Minutes to Hours are great in their own right and can be picked up from the audio link in the band's electronic press kit here. Please. Please. Please. Check this out. John's a great guy who has been releasing great music for years now and there is no man out there who deserves success doing what they love as much as him. Check out his other releases here, here, and here.
In bonus, nerd news:
If you read comic books, or don't, I don't care, check out this-
Two issues have been put out already, but I still can't really explain what it's about. Something to do with an assassin afflicted with multiple personality disorder (Triplets specifically, hence the title name) traveling around the world killing people while dealing with the fact that at any time he could be a cowboy, a ninja or a viking. And the only way he's unique is in the personalities he has, there are others like him, but only he is a cowboy/ninja/viking. This is off the charts. Check it out.
I'm out of ideas. Let's just give up.
