I'm the first person to admit that I can't listen to half the stuff that gets sent my way on a daily basis. Sometimes I miss things when they are originally sent to me and it takes something else (a random email, seeing a band name on another blog, etc.) for me to go back and dig up what was sent to me. Case in point. I got an email with some MP3's from a Chicago band called The Changes way back in the beginning of September but didn't get around to listening to their music until today. Big mistake. These guys are good. Listen to this:

[MP3] The Changes | When I Wake

[MP3] The Changes | Water of the Gods

[MP3] The Changes | Such A Scene

All three are great tracks. If you're a fan of Voxtrot, you should give The Changes a listen. You can always head over to their MySpace page if you'd rather stream their music.

Lastly, they're playing DC9 tomorrow night. I can't make it, but you should go. Send me a full report if you do. I'm giving away a pair of tickets over on DCist.
