Sofa City Sweetheart and My New Baby ANDY!


Sofa City Sweetheart

[MP3] Sofa City Sweetheart - The Things She Do

I get a lot of messages from bands on myspace. 98% of the messages I get are from adder robots which send 500 copies OF THE SAME MESSAGE to my inbox (seriously please FIX THAT). I've actually all but stopped reading my JAXdj profile because of it.

Occasionally I get personal messages and I try my best to respond to them. Last week I got a delightful and sincere message from Jay Lopez a.k.a Sofa City Sweethearts. He sent me a short but sweet message inviting me to listen to a few of his songs. What I found were 4 simply gorgeous 60s pop songs. Jay's quiet yet devastating voice conjures images of Elliot Smith and John Lennon.

The above recording of "The Things She Do" is rough but the swinging rock anthem is definitely worthy of college radio rotation. Just wait till you hear Jay's falsetto. Amazing.

Sofa City Sweetheart are currently looking for a bassist and drummer. If you live around the SoCal area and are interested, send Jay a message on his myspace page.

JAX AND ANDY!

I'm A Mommy! Everyone I want you to meet my new little man - ANDY! He is a 1 yr old purebred Maltese rescued from a shady breeder. A loving foster family took him in and I adopted him on Monday. He is the light of my world. I've been really lonely these past few weeks. I dog sat for my friend Kyra while she was at Coachella and it sealed the deal - I NEEDED A DOG! He is amazing a so well behaved its ridiculous. I hope a few of you will get to meet him someday!

what a cute little dog! I had to get a cat - an apartment is no place for a dog.

But my real point here is to express jealousy over LA's concert line up. On one night, a Thursday, no less, you've got Elvis Costello, Patti Smith, Chris Cornell, and on and on.

That's a year's worth of rock for south Florida.
yecchhh!!
