Sometimes people give me free stuff to review on this website. Books, CDs, etc. Most of the time I don’t review them because a) there are only so many hours in the day b) I don’t want to write any negative reviews. So if I don’t like something I just don’t review it. I figure there are enough things to be positive about that the world can survive without one more negative review of something. I give you this insight because I want you to understand how disappointed I am not to have received a copy of the new record by The Photographic to review. I really, really wanted to get an early copy to review so I could tell you how great it is and encourage you to buy it. I was that confident that it was going to be great. Alas, I did not receive a review copy and I’ve not been to ear X-tacy today so I can only tell you that I’m pretty sure the record kicks ass. My advice is to go to ear X-tacy tonight for a free in-store performance by the duo and to pick up your copy of the brand new record “Pictures of A Changing World.”

PS Free things I really like include books, CDs, coffee, certificates for free meals and dessert.
Update: Not only does Cory at Backseat Sandbar want to rub it in that he got a review copy of the record when I didn’t he also wants me to link to his review of it. As my grandmother would say “that’s tacky.” Just kidding. Backseat Sandbar has its hand on the music pulse in this city so its only natural they’d have the scoop. That scoop by the way just confirms my suspicion about the record being great. To quote Cory “you need this album.”
