| Super Model-T: Something For Your Misery |
|
 In the past three years I’ve brought home a lot of local CD’s. I play them while I do the dishes, while my daughter does her homework and while my wife cleans up after the both of us. Whenever I leave the house, I make sure to bring one along so I can get acquainted with a disc before I do a review. Since I’m terminally disorganized, CD’s end up all over the damn place; in the living room, in my office, in my truck and even in my wife’s car. Eventually (and thanks to her indulgence) they find their way back to my office desk in a heaping pile.
Except for one, that is . . .
For some reason, I couldn’t find my copy of Super Model-T’s “Something For Your Misery”. It wasn't in the CD player in the living room. It wasn't on my desk hiding under a pile of unpaid bills and review notes. Perhaps in the console of my truck? Not there either. Damn. Where did I put that disc?
Eventually, I found it in my wife’s CD player. I’d left it in there weeks ago and she’s been listening to it ever since. I’ve played dozens of local discs for her and she's never shown any interest before. In fact, the reaction I’m used to getting when I play ‘my music’ (as she puts it) is a pregnant sigh that says, in effect, “Can you turn off the damn stereo and let us watch some T.V.?” or “Can we listen to the radio now?” Not this time. This time she wanted to know when I’d be bringing the disc back!
That’s because Super Model-T’s “Something For Your Misery” is exactly that, a rock & roll care-package stuffed with great tunes that’ll help you forget about your problems while your singing along your car. Supercharged rockers like “CJD”, “Sorry” and the title track, “Something For Your Misery” will pump-up your adrenaline and get you whacking something in-time while mid-tempo tunes like “London Bridge”, “Listen” and a rare gem titled “Statuette” will put you in a reflective, wrist-dangling-over-the-steering-wheel-while-you-stare-into space, kind of mood.
In a sane radio-universe (i.e. one not wholly owned and operated by Clear Channel Inc.), at least two of these songs would be in regular rotation (with that in mind, be sure to get involved with Jam Rag’s “Michigan Music Is World Class” coalition and help take back our airwaves). But it’s not a sane radio-universe, so you’ll have to buy your very own copy of Super Model-T’s “Something For Your Misery” over at McM.net. At five bucks a pop (’...that’s just 45˘ per song, friends - a whole 54˘ less than iTunes! And you get a shiny compact disc and a duo-tone card-stock cover too! [shipping not included]) you can’t get a better deal on misery-medicine than that- at least not without a crack-pipe.
Just make sure you buy your copy soon so you can fully dig Super Model-T tearing it up at PumpStock this Saturday, September 20th with The Howling Diablos, South Normal & Sponge.

(User Info | Send a Message) | Hello everyone . i must say i have to agree 110% with mitch. i met jeff up at the front last week and he gave me a cd, i think i have listened to it oh about 42 times and it's only been a week since i recieved it. Seriously, i cant stop. I to recieve alot of cd's cause i do alot of bookings, and i have not heard such tightness, crewativity and most of all passion as i did on this cd. YOU GUYS ROCK, so for those of you that have not had the opportunity to listen to it, go and buy it, go to one oor many of there shows and enjoy what i have and so many others have had the pleasure to experience.
Respectfully Brad Raymond |
