![Keith John Adams: Unclever [Album Review]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2310398_lg.jpg)
In the grunge music of the 90s we saw the mass standardization of the head-bang. For you young ones, that's when you take your nasty, long, greasy, unwashed hair and whip it from back to front and front to back in rapid motions. The result, obviously, is brain damage. That's what rock-n-roll will do for ya. Pop, on the other hand, takes that motion and reduces it to a quick nod. The good news is that you have more brain cells to kill with vices such as alcohol. The music of [...]

The Keith John Adams [ myspace ] third full length Unclever is being released by Athens, GA-based super-indie label Happy Happy Birthday To Me Records . KJA's style is for the most part British power-pop, somewhat similar to Graham Coxon's (Blur) solo stuff, but more eccentric. I also hear a bit of Robyn Hitchcock, the jokey new-wave of Jilted John, and a bit of rockabilly. On tour he's been backed by both Casper & the Cookies and Tokyo's Elekibass. And KJA isn't afraid of some indie DIY experimenting with his songwriting - if [...]

Following his cues took me to hhbtm records, where I found links to songs by boyracer (left) and Poison Control Center I already owned but also to a bunch of nice things by artists I didn't know and am glad I now do. I hope you'll like them, too. I'll post five for now. To avoid possibly fatal confusion, I should note that hhbtm lists [...]
Here are four things I'm truly enthusiastic about, and perhaps they might not all have been created this year, but they were all new to me in '06. So, in no particular order: 1. FOUR VOLTS - "Triple Your Work Force". There are tons of bands trying to inherit a forward-thinking mantle while building off [...]
