Jimmy, HomecomingĪllMusic Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine This band was THE band in high school, so listen up and take notes.Īlbum of the Week: Green Day - American Idiotįreds Picks - Jesus of Suburbia, Holiday, St. Their change is similar to how The Beatles have adapted to an ever changing musical escape. Their sound has changed plenty over the years, starting with songs about girls, to songs about drugs, to songs about politics.
I'm not sure where I would be without the musical influences of this band. Medal Problem: Consecutive Integers (see Week 12) A Catholic, Kennedy was the only non- Protestant president, and was the only president to have won a Pulitzer Prize. At age 43, he was the youngest to have been elected to the office, the second-youngest president (after Theodore Roosevelt), and the first person born in the 20th century to serve as president. Kennedy defeated Vice President and Republican candidate Richard Nixon in the 1960 U.S. House of Representatives from 1947 to 1953 as a Democrat. John Fitzgerald Kennedy (November 22, 1963), commonly known as "Jack" or by his initials JFK, was the 35th President of the United States, serving from January 1961 until he was assassinated in November 1963. After military service as commander of Motor Torpedo Boats PT-109 and PT-59 during World War II in the South Pacific, Kennedy represented Massachusetts' 11th congressional district in the U.S. Quote of the Week: Don't pray for an easy life. Now, was the cover artwork of Time Bomb and Ciccone Youth's The Whitey Album separated at birth? Don't expect any heavy dread, and when the band drops a "roots" reference it's bound to send reggae purists spinning, but if Pepper are too snotty and Groundation are too mystical, Iration are the reggae-rockers to pick for the smoothest of sailing. The title track, "Coming Your Way," and "Wait and See" are all delivered in versions that rival any fan's favorite live tape, while cool cucumbers like "Falling" ("We met at a concert/You were wearing Converse") benefit greatly from a little mood-setting studio production. Recorded after a nationwide tour, Time Bomb feels live and organically grown, and seeing as this Hawaiian rock-reggae crew lives in the jam band genre, these are certainly desirable qualities and, also, surprisingly rare. If this is your jam, then you need to listen to it, NOW!įreds Picks - Time Bomb, Wait and See, Changed My Mind, FallingĪllMusic Review by David JeffriesMaybe there's some overlap with their previous catalog, but the jumble of familiar and new that fills Iration's sophomore effort has at least one distinct advantage over their debut: it is road-tested. They do a great job of mixing funk / rock / reggae and I can't get their songs out of my head. So this is a new band that came up on Pandora when I was listening to Sublime Radio.
