It's been just over five months since The Everybodyfields broke up, but former bandleaders Jill Andrews and Sam Quinn haven't wasted much time crying in their respective beers. Quinn and his new outfit, Sam Quinn + Japan Ten, have been playing a bunch of live shows and are aiming to release a debut LP sometime early next year (with Quinn apparently eyeing a side-career as an infomercial host).

As a parent, I know I'm not supposed to have favorites. And all of the hundreds of "Live From Paste" videos are our babies.
