1. The Dirty Diamonds - Where Are the Words? - What is this, 1989? New, old, odd, even. Sounds like old birthday candy, saved for just the proper occasion. [from Monster Ballads EP | free! ] 2. Greg MacPherson - Visitor - This slow-burner closes Greg's album of broken dreams and open roads. A song of contemplation, hypnotism by white lines, red brake lights smeared through rain-spackled windglass. Maybe the most important thing about the destination is the journey. [from Mr. Invitation |buy on iTunes or Amazon ] [...]

But then again, who really can, right? No one. Enjoy and let us know what you think! Bizzies "By The Numbers" for full transparency... Most viewed [...]

Bonjay - Gimme Gimme Penguin Prison – "The Worse It Gets" (R.A.C. Remix) The Dirty Diamonds - The Right Direction Tagged: Bonjay , Penguin Prison , R.A.C. , The Dirty Diamonds
My good buddy, Mike Perry (aka Black Holes ), and his band, The Dirty Diamonds , are just about ready to drop their debut album, Monster Ballads . In case you're unfamiliar with The Dirty Diamonds, they're a very solid band out of Chicago with a penchant for balancing pop, soul and doo-wop. Their new album will most likely be the soundtrack for many-a-folks' Summertime cookouts this season, because good pop music (such as theirs) and warm weather were basically made for each other. As a whole, the best part about [...]
Gah. It's been a disastrous couple of weeks for posting on the blog, and given how busy my upcoming 14 days are, I can't imagine it's going to improve much. Still, in the interest of not completing abandoning y'all, here is a great song that I have been listening to more or less constantly for the past week or so. Right Direction - The Dirty Diamonds I'm not usually one to quote a press release, but this one so perfectly encapsulated the sound of this record that it convinced me to [...]

I started off the day in a VERY sleepy way, so I've been listening to some upbeat dance-ish pop in the form of The Dirty Diamonds. We were sent a track from them recently via SoundCloud called "The Right Direction", off their forthcoming EP Monster Ballads , and it's pretty special because it's a whole bunch of happy and just gets me smiling in general. Monster Ballads , produced by Supreme Cuts and Curt Cameruci of Flosstradamus, will be released April 10, and "The Right Direction" is an appropriate first single.

Photo by Chocolatte Three reasons to boogie your way over to the Empty Bottle tonight to catch JC Brooks & The Uptown Sound ... 1. Because JC Brooks & The Uptown Sound are Chicago's newest soul sensations. Sure there's Pitchfork and Lollapalooza that celebrate Chicago's alternative-indie rock side, but it was Jazz, R&B, blues and soul music that dominated this city's musical landscape for much of the early 20th Century. JC Brooks & The Uptown Sound recapture that spirit and energy with a soul-meets-funk-meets-post-roc k sound with an incredible [...]
