Wakey! Wakey!

Wakey! Wakey! frontman Mike Grubbs is one of those Brooklynites whose thin, pale frame suggests he exists on a study diet of coffee, cigarettes and heartache. His music does little to disprove the theory. The W!2 catalog is a collection of twinkly indie gems about the procession of women who have walked all over his strung-out heart. Turns out in Grubbs case its better to have loved and lost, as it is not without artist payoff, cultivating songs that mix sweet and sad like a cotton-candy flavored tears. Heres hoping he never finds a decent girlfriend. MACHELL DUMA LAVASSAR
