Mayer Hawthorne - Hooked

Well, if you happen to be a student (or know any), now’s right around the time where you (or people you know) begin to freak out about finals. I happen to fall into this student category, which of course means being surrounded by people freak out and over-emphasize a test for the better part of a week or so. So as a relief to those of you suffering through this phenomenon, I present the perfect remedy: Mayer Hawthorne.

I just got around to listening to his latest release How Do You Do a few days ago, and overall I really enjoyed it. But I’ll save the commentary for later. For all intents and purposes, let’s just say that this record sounds like something unearthed from a crate that hasn’t been dusted off since the late 50’s/early 60’s. This one upbeat jam just happens to hit all the right places, particularly right around this time of year when people are stressing out (hint hint finals). So just turn it on, and let all of your worries melt away.
