Comment:

When you're buried beneath a book avalanche and woodshedding is starting to drive you wacky, take a deep breath while these well-schooled sounds soothe your addled synapses and inspire you to new levels of academic [i]oomph[/i]. Beginning to feel there are just too many printed words in the world? Rogue Wave feels your pain on the heart-heaving "Publish My Love." Before you reach for the academic panic button, let the Mommyheads unleash a power-pop smart bomb with the catchy-as-a-common-cold "Help Me." And when the strains of indie-folk troubadour Bonnie "Prince" Billy's "Love Comes to Me" drift in, you'll feel a much-needed warm breeze wafting through your weary, information-overloaded head.
