Sophisticated Teen Music Spew


All right, music is a pretty tremendous thing that we have to deal with day in and day out and I am into many different styles and genre. So it should come as no surprise that I would comment on one of my kids favorite bands. Lately in my house, we have a the standard teen mix of Jacks Mannequin (www.jacksmannequin.com/ ) as far as female teen opinion goes, they are the digs, or all that is good with the state of music right now. I don't dislike Andrew McMahon, a cancer survivor who is extremely talented and versatile, evolving from his other band, Something Corporate in 2003 after deciding his new music wasn't worth the effort to toss in to the Something Corporate archive. Andrew plays piano and mixes it with solid song writing and vocals to sell a lot of Cd's. North, released in 2003 was Something Corporates last album, and it was played non-stop in my household until McMahon's solo tempt with Jack's Mannequin's debut. Jacks Mannequin plays the Pageant on Valentines Day. I will be there with an armful of giddy McMahon fans as chaperon. I am thinking I won't be all that disappointed.
