recently i was enjoying a bit of a rocknroll show in my basement when a complete stranger came up to me and said "i have a huge surprise for you. it's something from your past!" i had no idea what this guy was talking about, and spent the next two hours going crazy trying to figure it out. and then the surprise came running down the basement stairs. though we live in the same town, it had been almost a year since i'd seen lauren newman, and about three years since i'd seen her band, stella marie. and that night they played the show of a lifetime! but that is how it is everytime they play, and everytime lauren plays a note... it's an explosion! lauren's album on stop + rewind is a collection of her solo 4-track recordings, selected carefully from hundreds of songs.
