Whenever anyone asks me "Who is your favorite band?", I always say "I don't have a favorite per se, as my tastes are constantly changing with the wind", but I realized this past weekend that my response is total bullshit. I definitely have a favorite band, and they go by the name of "Dispatch". If you have never heard of them before, well, I am not surprised. Borne of out the dorms of Middle...

I have years of catching up on this band and the influence they can bring to a whole...

Due to an overwhelming demand for tickets, the band will now be playing three nights at Madison Square Garden. They've extended the shows through Sunday. All proceeds will still go to charity.

So once again my husband has turned me on to another band - Dispatch. They sing the song "The General" and some others. Right now on youtube you can find a whole bunch of different versions of their signature song. It's pretty good. We only have "Bang Bang", but it has a lot of good songs on it. Personally I like "Bats in the Belfry" and "Two Coins". The whole album is worth checking out, so go...
