I Am Jen CD
Tuesday, November 15, 2005, 04:49 PM


I received THE BROKEN EP from Jen Scaturro (I Am Jen) this past weekend and I must say it was a pleasure to get a handmade CD in the mail after buying music online for some time now. Just check out the packaging. The picture I took is awful, but who cares because you can see the cd, handmade sleeve, and a personal letter thanking me for my support. Also, she tossed in a sticker! A STICKER! Stickers freaking rock.

This is now 100% Nate recommended. All you people out there go get this at iamjen.com. It's definitely worth the $6 (shipped) if not just for the sweet sticker.

Jennifer Gentle
Sunday, November 6, 2005, 03:09 PM
Jennifer Gentle comes from Padova, a foggy city in Northern Italy, not so far from Venice. She was born in early 2000 and her short life has been both quiet and tumultuous, at the same time. Actually, Jennifer Gentle is not a girl, but a band formed by two guys: Marco Fasolo, 23, who sings and plays guitar, and Alessio Gastaldello, 30, thinking drummer.

From the start, they set themselves apart from a national scene mostly devoted to the worship of ë90s post-rock icons. Their long-term fascination with Syd Barrett, 13th Floor Elevators and Joe Meek production techniques was at odds with local trends and looked definitely uncool in a world where June of 44 was king.

In February 2004 Jennifer Gentle became the first Italian band ever to sign with Sub Pop Records. Suddenly, they became semi-popular in their own neighborhood. Strangely, this brought the band full circle: back in 1998, a 16-year old Marco Fasolo had sent a comically badly recorded demo tape to a certain Seattle label.

Valende is the third Jennifer Gentle studio album. It was recorded and mixed by Marco and Alessio in the same dark basement on the outskirts of Padova, Italy, between February and June 2004. This doesnít mean that the album is your average soup of lo-fi shrieks and yells. Better equipment, decent mics and an awful lot of work make it sound warm and luscious. It is also very different from the previous Jennifer Gentle albums: there are a couple of the usual brainless pop nuggets, but most of the album has a sad, even spooky feel. It is a collection of songs about things lost in the deep of the woods, sinister campfire scenes and that dizzying sensation of loss you can have under a moonlit sky. It is also about quiet dreams of luminous gardens, but sometimes quiet can also be scary. - Artist Page (Edited)

Update Tomorrow

I was planning on updating today but I worked a double and I'm exhausted. I'll get something up tomorrow, but I'm going to go watch a movie right now and get off my feet.
