Afternoon Aural: Johnny Hates Jazz

By Andrew Belonsky August 4, 2008 at 1:08pm

    bought the album when it came out and replaced it when it finally came out cd. the whole album is good.

    how about a posting of mary’s prayer by meet danny wilson (oh how the groups had strange names back then) and these dreams by heart? both are great songs.
