It’s the dog days of August with so many people away that you can actually park in Park Slope.  Things look they might be a little quiet this week too.  But four years ago this week, things weren’t so quiet as The Gin Blossoms (who have a new record, No Chocolate Cake, coming out at the end of September) played The Apple Store down in Soho, where they performed their hit from the early 90s, Hey Jealousy.  See the video here at Now I’ve Heard Everything.

Rosanne Cash, currently on tour to promote her just issued book, Composed has already lined up her next music project; Ted Leo worked on a musical film project of some sort which will be announced today and Paste Magazine has posted a list (complete with videos!) of the 50 Best Fictional Bands.   You’ll find details for all that here at Now I’ve Heard Everything.
