[New Releases] The American Analog Set "Set Free"
— Alex Slawson and Herman Snell
The American Analog Set — "Set Free" For 10 years, the American Analog Set have made an art out of subtle textures and hypnotic melodies. Over this time, they have shifted from a Spacemen 3 influenced drone rock (as evidenced in their first three albums) to a more space-pop sound (seen in their last three albums). With that said, "Set Free" isn't quite as engaging as 2001's "Know by Heart," the album that introduced (and in some cases, shocked) fans with their poppier exploits. However, it is much better than 2003's "Promise of Love" and parellels 1999's "The Golden Band" with its thematic overtones and multi-track suites. Either way, this is a great listen.

Dear John: What's In A Word?

September 6, 2006 Pictured: After Polk's Discount Drugs on Spillway canceled their TDN contract, inviting local publications back to their store, The Clarion-Ledger removed its green multi-box and re-"cluttered" the storefront with the first four boxes pictured from the left. MIPA's large red box, containing nine independent publications, is visible on the far right. As students return, the arts go into high gear, and the temperatures finally drop for autumn, the Jackson Free Press has great news on a different front—distribution. Thanks to our partners in the newly formed Mississippi Independent Publishers' Alliance (MIPA), the JFP has gained about 40 new high-profile distribution spots in the past two weeks, many of which expand our reach into Jackson's suburbs and surrounding communities. Now, you can get the JFP at nearly all Mac's Gas locations, as well as at participating Super Stop convenience stores (most of the Conoco stations around town), participating Polk's Drugstores and other locally operated convenience stores and gas stations.
