Contrary to what many internet rumors are saying, this fifth album by the lovely Melanie C will not be a dance album. What's the sporty one without some rock? Her "atmospheric" music is always the best and is, probably, some of the most underrated songs in the pop world. The Sea , her new album, will most certainly have gems. Although we are not big fans of this single, we won't let it taint our idea of the album. Related articles Melanie C [...]

The Melster (Aka Melanie C, Sporty Spice and the Chisholm) has unleashed a little preview of what she has been working on. The new song is called "Rock Me" and it is allegedly set to be the first single off of her new fifth album, also the first album post-childbirth. Following her award-nominated performances and hugely successful spell in musical theatre, she has returned to the studio to work on her fifth album. While the finishing touches are made, Melanie has recorded an energetic and vibrant track entitled 'Rock Me' for one of the summer's biggest sporting events. [...]

Sparrow and the Workshop recorded one of our first ever Toad Sessions. In fact, they were the first band I ever recorded all on my lonesome and, after a few rather panicked emails to my little brother who knows about this shit, it all seemed to go pretty well.

Spitting Daggers comes out in a [...]

Blade Runner was an apt way to start my morning. Jesus that is a fucked up movie, people who can't tell if even their most recent memories are real or just programing. A man who meets his creator, demanding his life be extended, and when he is told it's impossible, he goes crazy and pushes the guys eyes back into his brain! All covered in a precious thin layer of 80's synth GOLD! Vangelis - Zhoras Retirement .mp3 ♥♥♥ [...]

There certainly is no shortage of genuinely talented female singer-songwriters these days. However it is hard for them to avoid being lumped into that Vaneesa Carlton/Sara Bareilles sorority girl soulless pop genre. Luckily artists like Cat Power , Joanna Newsom , and Regina Spektor (although she almost got caught up in all that) have been able to be successful without having to compromise their art. Well you can add one more to that list, Amanda Rogers . She has been pumping out her honest and emotional piano tunes for [...]
