Well, I've finally sorted through the some of my emails and have selected a few tracks that I feel are worth mentioning and listening to. Forgive me if my reviews aren't the best. The fact is I am working on my writing skills and trying to find the best way to express what I hear in the music. I am trying to do my best so.... First up is a band from Miami, Florida. Seeing that they are only 200 miles south of me, I must consider them as local. Orlando, also being local (60 miles [...]
The Ting Tings performed for the Current, Junior Boys played First Avenue & Wavves hit the Entry.

To start the week off, I'm headed back to my hometown...Miami. It always amazes me that it wasn't until after I left the Magic City in 1999 that things started to get exciting.
