For an act that hasn't actually
had an official release in 2007, I don't think anyone has been talked about
more than Cassettes Won't Listen. Jason Drake, the main brain behind
the act, has been steadily feeding the world a myriad of covers this year,
and everyone has eaten them up in order to calm themselves in what has
become an anxiety-filled, forever long wait for the all original full
length, Small-Time Machine. Personally, I kind of wish the guy
would quit goofing around and put the damn album out. Though, here I
am again rambling about CWL and another cover song, so I'm clearly a huge
hypocrite when it comes to what Jason does with this time. I blame the
weather. Anyway, you can download a whole EP of cover songs next week
on CWL's site. Do it. Enjoy.

Won't Listen - Change (Blind Melon Cover):
This gem is actually much different than the other covers
that have been released. The sound is much more laid
back, and it feels as if you could listen while lounging
around, which means that it would actually allow you to
avoid any sort of incessant need to dance around like
there's no tomorrow. Sure, maybe it doesn't mean all
that much that it isn't an all out, charged up pop tune, but
on my end I'm thinking that I really like the morsel of
versatility that is being shown. Count this as one
more reason as to why I need to hear the full length.
As far as
physical copies are concerned I'm not entirely sure where
Where Did Go can be found. Maybe it's suppose to
be Small-Time Machine? Who knows. I
suppose all that matters is that the song and the video are
pretty great together.
