Back in 1995, the first year of Not Lame`s existence, there was a band in our second mail order catalog by band called The Jennifers called "Nine Days Of Wonder"(which we just found two copies of!). It disappeared, as did the band, a few years later. Out of the blue, in 2006, arrives this 7 song, 24 minute mini-CD that sounds like the follow up to their debut, 11 years on. It`s a rave-up blend of a lot of cool bands - Yo La Tengo, The Feelies, The dB`s, The Pastels and a bit of The Real Kids, just to add a bit of rock `n roll grounding. Further my appreciation for this band, as I was looking into this release, I found a very cool cover of Television`s "Friction" on their web site ( www.thejennifers.com/music.html, there`s overs of Cleaners From Venus, The Pretty Things and others there, too) but "Book Of Bad Advice" is
ultra-cool, early/mid 80`s Hobeken indie-alt-rock style. Very Highly
Recommended!
