Everybody is spending so much time trying to save money these days that they might forget how important it is to carry it. That's where the Slim Clip (pictured) comes into play. The "As Seen on TV" staple was a topic of conversation in the editorial office this week, along with tasty organic wine, a delicious pizza, a great new CD from a trusty old band, a favorite new seafood dish and other nuggets.

Addictive "Pressed" heralds Jordan's return
Melodic and poppy but with a satisfying slate of crunchy, jangly and twangy guitars, “Pressed” is an addictive mix of power pop and garage rock with alt.country overtones. It's the work of long-lost Milwaukee music veteran Charles Jordan.
