On Wednesday night, Fool's Gold Records celebrated their two-year anniversary with a CMJ Showcase at 88 Palace. MeanRed put on quite the soirée, which featured live performances by The Suzan, Trackademicks, Vega and Donnis, and DJ sets by Treasure Fingers, Kingdom, and Sammy Bananas.

After the pretty extensive jam intro to get you going, the song really starts at the 1:30 minute mark when the vocals come in. Aroun...
