	• SKU: 2168834 • UPC: 098054201726 • Shipping: $1.24 • Description: Recorded at Jajouka Studo, Milstadt, Illinois. Audio Mixer: Matt Pence. Recording information: Millstadt, IL (07/1998-08/1998). Photographer: Matt Pence. Unknown Contributor Roles: Will Johnson; Scott Danbom; Mark Hedman. Essentially the first South San Gabriel album in all but name. The first official SSG record wouldn't appear until 18 months later in Europe (the stateside version was a Centro disc called South San Gabriel Songs), but Navigational is certainly the style of laid-back record that would become the norm for the Centro-Matic side project. In July and August of 1998, leader Will Johnson, drummer Matt Pence, cellist/violinist Scott Danbom, and bassist Mark Hedman accepted the invitation of Jay Farrar (Son Volt) to record at his Milstadt, IL, studio, Jajouka. The band emerged from those sessions with over 60 songs, with most of the noisier, lo-fi, anthemic tunes appearing on The Static vs. the Strings, Vol. 1, and the majority of the quieter, more emotive tracks making up Navigational. That's not to say Navigational doesn't have its powerful moments. "Ordinary Days" may begin with a gently loping pace, but as it explodes into feedback-drenched crescendo, the listener gets a great example of Centro-Matic's rare ability to mix urgent, indie sentiments with shout-along, arena rock-style anthems. "The Massacre Went Well" is another explosive song, but perhaps the most effecting of these is the transcendent "Numbers One & Three," which begins with Johnson singing over a fingerpicked electric. He's joined by Pence's march-like press rolls, a series of crashing, singalong "sha-la-la" choruses, and finally Danbom's fiddle at the four-minute mark to help accent the gorgeous outro. But, for the most part, the 16 tracks are mostly mellow sketches that begin with Johnson's plaintive voice and simple guitar strums or piano chords. Eventually they're fleshed out by Danbom's string work, Pence's rock-solid but subtle drumming, and overdubbed backup vocals by Johnson. "Ruin This With Style," "With Respect to Alcohol" (a favorite Centro theme), and "All Hail the Label Scouts" (with its wonderful major-label kiss-off: "at last this rockin' bullsh*t swindle leads to your demise") all fit this format successfully. But the piano-driven, melancholic love song "The Panacea Tonight" is perhaps the best of these, a haunting tune that adds tape loops and synth wash to its basic Centro sound without ever diluting the music's message. When Johnson imploringly insists that "when you're with me, the brighter the stars seem to shine," it's hard to argue with the intelligent display of raw emotion that Centro-Matic/South San Gabriel conjures up. Truly an underappreciated American act. ~ John Schacht

The day after Thanksgiving is known as Black Friday because for many retailers it was the day they went from being in the red to being in the black when they became profitable for the year. It is also the official beginning of the holiday shopping season, and Black Friday has become known for some of the best bargains, discounts and deals of the entire year! Everyone has watched stampeding crowds on the local news or diehard bargain hunters camping out overnight so they can be among the first to grab limited black friday specials at their favorite local retailers... However, if you prefer doing your holiday discount shopping from the warm and cozy comfort of home, then Cyber Monday was designed with you in mind! Online retailers spotted the Black Friday frenzy sweeping across the country as it took over brick and mortar locations - rather than compete for your black friday attention, they concocted a day that is all their own and named it Cyber Monday! The Monday after Thanksgiving is when your favorite online stores slash prices and offer their very best prices to help usher in the online holiday shopping season! That means big savings for you whether you choose to brave the local crowds on Black Friday or avoid the madness by browsing online during Cyber Monday Sales! Not to worry - the Friday and Monday after Thanksgiving might get the most attention for discount holiday shopping, but if you procrastinate beyond that magical bargain hunting window it doesn't mean you will be completely left out... In fact, this promises to be an exceptionally consumer-friendly holiday shopping season with sales, coupons and discounts extending far beyond Black Friday and Cyber Monday and allowing you to find the best prices on holiday gifts until the very last minute! Hoping to avoid discount shopping withdrawal? Even after Christmas and Hanukkah have come and gone, you'll still have After Holiday Specials to help usher in the New Year!
