Dan Mangan On Petting Kittens And Destroying At Foosball…

We are totally digging Dan Mangan. The local musician has just released his second album, Nice, Nice, Very Nice (a follow up the 2005 release of Postcards and Daydreaming). It’s been on heavy rotation here in the office since we picked it up last month – a very welcome, mellow foil to the annual autumnal surge of old punk (a little too much Minor Threat already this September).
