i was wandering around on myspace this morning and in my travels i saw someone had the ganglians in their top 8 (remember how rad it used to be if you got in someone's top 8?) and i was like, shit i been meaning to listen to these dudes. they came through salt lake in the summer or fall i think and i missed the show because of some, probably dumb, reason. i remember back then wanting to check it out because i had heard good stuff about them. so, this morning i let their whole play list play and its pretty great. they get kinda dark but still manage to make some catchy semi pop music. and it isn't even contrived.
