Apart from having a name which reminds me of my teens, before the time of Internet when I had to jerk off to still pictures in magazines, Readers Wives have proven themselves good and noticeable enough to (as the cliché goes) make some wives around these here parts and lo and behold they've taken time from touring around Europe parts to come up with a dandy little mixtape.

Just had a listen to some of the songs on their myspace and I really liked what I heard... I'll have to check out more, cheers.

Coney Island Baby is the greatest song. Tom Traubert is known outside of the MySpace literature forum; there is a God!
And Reader's Wives deserve to be world-famous, I'm always interested in what they're doing next; their last CD was brilliant.
