In La-La-Love:

I am a HUGE fan of Jack’s Mannequin. Seeing Andrew McMahon play his music live for the first time (Back with Something Corporate) was seriously life changing for me, and I’ve seen A LOT of concerts. He is so raw and so…. OKAY with who he is and the music he writes. It is truly amazing and he’s an incredibly nice guy with an AMAZING story.

While in college I made a point of collecting every random unpublished song of his I could find, which is NOT easy. I bought Everything In Transit the day it came out, eagerly anticipating the NEW Andrew. And I fell in love all over again. The same magic, but different.

With that being said… I completely dropped the ball when The Glass Passenger came out. I knew the day it came out, but I just didn’t buy it. Maybe because my music tastes had become limited to nursery rhymes and Baby Einstein classical pieces? Maybe I forgot just HOW MUCH I love this stuff. Either way… I failed. I finally picked it up yesterday and once again… it speaks to me.

Check some of their stuff HERE, HERE, and HERE.

Two of the links are of live/acoustic versions. I think live recordings showcase true talent. I hope you love it as much as I do!
