[kj] So new album..where does it stand

Seriously, I think the new stuff sounds like it could play really well on
NPR-type stations. Here in Los Angeles there is KCRW and I really think it
would fit well in their playlists (say, on Morning Becomes Eclectic;
Jason Bentley's nighttime show) and in their artist showcases that they
have regularly. European Super State sounds great for that. Sounds like
it's perfect (w/a little Youthful tweaking) for the clubs too.
 
Fresh Fever (and ESS) could definitely play well on Comm-Pop Radio. 
Then again, I don't know.. I just DL'd the album so I haven't been able to
consider the other gems.

I think we should start a phone-in campaign in all our US cities to get "ESS"
played on the commercial "alternative" radio stations. That is, if they release
the thing in the US...
