Andrew McMahon took a break from Something Corporate, to form this weeks pick; a band called Jack's Mannequin. I bought the first album, "Everything In Transit" about 4 months ago and it is stays in my CD player about 50% of the time. You might have heard their first single, "Mixed Tape" on the radio or popular TV shows. They have an addicting sound somewhere between Ben Folds (because of the piano) and.... the Beach Boys??? (on cancer) McMahon was diagnosed with acute lymphatic leukemia in May of 2005 which adds a little something extra to the mix. Throw in some punk guitar and summertime hook, that makes you want to move to California, and you have this weeks favorite, (and I learned how to spell "mannequin")
