Finally! An original
piece of audible material from Cassettes Won't Listen (aka Jason Drake, the
Director Of Marketing for the fantastic Def Jux Records) arrived in my inbox
yesterday. I have absolutely no idea what took so long for the guy to
quit distracting himself with cover songs, but I'm glad that he finally
decided to move onto something different. I mean, I could only ramble
about the possibility of an official release for so long! In any case,
Small-Time Machine is what Jason's upcoming seven-track EP is set to
be called, and it will be delivered to the masses on March 11. There
will also be a short tour and an appearance at SXSW, which is great for any
of us that will be lucky enough to be there. Now, onto the long
awaited gem! Enjoy.

Won't Listen - Paper Float:
Well, the good news is that this song alone makes the overly
long wait more than worth it. And the bad news?
There isn't any. I'm honestly not sure that Jason
could have made anything more perfect. It literally
sounds like the Postal Service swallowed everything good
that's come out of the indie and electro pop genres over the
last five years. You absolutely need to hear this.
Here is a nice
look at CWL live and in person. The name of the song
is Where Did Go, and if you remember I actually
posted it once before by way of a different video. I
thought it would be on the new EP, but it's not on
the track listing. Anyone have some info on where it
can be found?
