This Saturday evening, John Common Common & Blinding Flashes of Light is releasing its debut full-length,Beautiful Empty, at Cassleman’s Bar & Venue. We’ve been listening to it for the past few weeks, and it’s pretty swell. If you haven’t already, download “Love Is a Shark” and check out the video.
