E-603 has been jammin' out way before coming to the lovely Pioneer Valley, but put out his self-released album Something for Everyone in 2008. He's a chill guy, and knows how to jam out with those thick black rimmed spex of his. Check out on his myspace, web site or on last.fm. You can download Something for Everyone off his website. Updates on his works in progess will be coming soon. ENJOY.

For a mundane monday

Haven't posted a download on here a in while, so here's a lovely little tune for that melodic side of your music tastes. This one's by Ezra Furman & the Harpoons off of their album Inside the Human Body. The album's a good listen if you're into a laid back-leaning-towards-alt.-folk-ish kind of band. Thanks to last.fm, you may DOWNLOAD + ENJOY.
