Monday, September 16, 200. Why is it so hard for a 30-year-old to think about retirement? When you’re young, retirement planning is pretty far down on your list of concerns.

We offer a range of different options, including tax-deferred retirement plans, SRAs, and IRAs, all with low expenses. Now that’s something to fall in love with.

Marc Copely named Oasis. U2. Achtung Baby. Rufus Wainwright and Bob Dylan as some of his influences on his first album. Limited Lifetime Guarantee. On Limited. Copely wraps up these influences and creates one tight package of songs with his name written all over it. “Surprise” and “Backslide conjure images of the boys from beer commercials partying at an all-night bar with these songs in the back ground. “Right to My Head" continues the guitar- driven. head-banging pace as do “Crystal C Icar and the fun. drive-with-your-windovvs-down- and-bob-your-head-like-Bobby-Brady "Magic Box." On “Truth and Oil ” Copely’s first attempt at a ballad, listeners can get up close and personal with his vocals which sound like a mix of Mark McGrath and Andreas Johnson. With his rough and raspy voice, Copely sings, “All that I need, all I could be is surfacing like truth and Oil. While most girls do not know him. they just might fall in love after hearing his ballads. “Slow " makes listeners want to take off all their clothes with the sexy, slow-driving slide guitar also found on Mazzy Star's “Fade Into You."

Australia, was originally released independently in 20CX) and earned Day the 2(X)2 Boston Music Award for Best Male Singer-Songwriter. While the first track, "Sorry So Sorry" is not the perfect song to introduce the album. Day makes up for it in “She Says." a nice acoustic coffeehouse rock tune. In fact, seven out of the ten songs are acoustic soft rock. The third and fourth tracks. “Secret" and “Slow Down ” highlight Day’s emotional vocal range while “Ghost" and the live recording of “Morning After” return listen ers to Day’s acoustic sounds. The faster-paced songs like the seventh track “Everything Else" need a bit more tweaking and sound like the work of an amateur.
