But before they do that, they’re playing a show at Wunderbar on Thursday, and before they do that, they’re coming by CJSR that afternoon to pay us a visit (other fingers crossed) on the big shoo. Tune in, okay?

What does all this (any of this) have to do with a song getting stuck in your head? Glad you asked, wish you would learn to be a little more patient.

Jessica Jalbert covers an old favourite.
