A phosphorescent material will let out absorbed energy as light, but slowly and over a long period of time. Kind of like how the radioactive material in cartoons glows. I really, really want to relate this to Phosphorescent the band, but anything would be reach and completely obvious even if it did make sense. But at least some of you learned something.

Well, let me also inform you that Phosphorescent is taking its required-listening record, Here’s To Taking It Easy, on the road this summer, giving you a chance to see the former backing band/now regular band in action. Hear “It’s Hard To Be Humble (When You’re From Alabama)” in Birmingham, AL!  Enjoy “Los Angeles” in West Hollywood, which is in Los Angeles County! “I Don’t Care (If There’s Cursing)” in f*^#ing Baltimore! You get the idea.

Praise has been pouring in for this record, and rightfully so, so make sure you see them in the small rooms before they start opening for David Gray or something…
