by teepoo Gerber I think this is an original tune made for this campaign. However, you can read this thing by hipsterrunoff who claims it is a rip of Peter Bjorn and John's Young Folks. iPod Nano Cake- Short Skirt, Long Jacket Macy's- Find Your Magic [...]

Better Than Ezra 's show at The 40 Watt in Athens is probably best summed up by Steve Sulikowski , of 16 Frames who opened the show, "We're going to rock like it's 1994!" In Athens the crowds are heavy with college students and music snobs looking to find the next "it" band that will be the latest oh-so chic trend in music. They're usually too cool to show any genuine interest in a band and look down their noses at anyone who does. This [...]
Seattle's Amber Pacific has a new singer and they have a new self-titled EP in preparation for (I'm assuming) a new full-length. Yeah, I'm a sucker for pop punk. MP3 | Amber Pacific - The Good Life Amber Pacific EP Val Emmich is a singer/songwriter guy whose crafty pop reminds me Brendan Benson, Pete Yorn, and Rick Springfield. You know, that really catchy poppy sorta shit that should be on the radio but ain't. [...]
Start with Day 2 Day Parties I had exactly 12 seconds to hit my room, clear the day's photos off the camera, and run back across to the faaar west side of town. Night Two in Austin was going to start with a one-two shot of Silver Lake, CA. 1. Eulogies Eulogies was a band I'd heard a ton of good things about from reviewers outta Silver Lake. Makes sense as the reviewers I know gotta thing for fuzzy shoegazey stuff with chimey guitars (but who doesn't [...]

This set will probably stand as the poppiest and peppiest on Selective Service all year. Ladies and gentleman, I present to you my 20 favorite songs of 2008! "NINE IN THE AFTERNOON" by Panic at the Disco from Pretty. Odd Panic at the Disco dropped the exclamation mark and the dandy makeup from "A Fever You Can't Sweat" and gained a little bit of Beatlemania with their 2008 album "Pretty.Odd." While the album was a noble effort to infuse a 60s sound into [...]
What a nicer way to top off the week than with another giveaway! Today we've got a copy of Val Emmich 's recently released Little Daggers , which, if you'll recall, our girl Reni gave a nice little glowing review . Emmich, an actor/musician, has appeared on "Ugly Betty" both musically and theatrically: he plays Betty's neighbor, a musician and her new love interest! **If you'd like your very own copy of this Popwreckoning approved album, leave a comment and a winner will be chosen at random [...]

The fifth installment of our 100 best songs of the year covers the month of May 2008. This month's new releases included albums from Death Cab For Cutie, Jason Mraz, Mason Jennings, and a CD/DVD package from The National. In May music news: To The Roos-scue: Paul McCartney has been asked to contribute money to relocate kangaroos overrunning an Australian naval base, because officials planned [...]
Ok, admit it. Hands in the air where I can see them. I'm not afraid to say it. "Hi, my name is Reni, and I'm here because I like pop music." As much as I dig being a dark horse and rocking out to weighty Scandinavian metal, I'd be fibbing if I didn't concede here. You know who else isn't afraid to admit it? Jersey native Val Emmich . That's who. He's throwing his hands up too, and makes no excuses for his music. In fact, he makes a pretty darn good argument for the sake of all things [...]
Strange days indeed...most peculiar mama, whoa! I'm not sure what happened, but it was brought to my attention that somehow a folder on our server decided to play hopscotch and none of the content I posted the last two days aggregated (sorry for the geeky blog talk), nor did any of the mp3s work. I guess that's not your problem, but I felt the need to explain in case you noticed the blast of posts in the last hour. Onward... I've got a signed copy of the new Val Emmich Little Daggers [...]
Tell us about how you got into music and acting? I first started writing music when I was fifteen. As soon as I learned my first few chords on the guitar, I began writing songs. Music then became and still is my emotional outlet. It is a great release for me and probably the reason that I never needed proper therapy. Also, beyond the expunging of emotions, it is also a creative outlet for me. I love building things and the crafting of a song fulfills that need. Acting came later. When I was a [...]
We're taking the time machine back to the tail-end of May for this release. I can't be blamed for leaving this one on the counter as it just hit my mailbox today. This one gets blamed on the folks who are promoting the album for not getting it to me sooner. Good thing I don't hold grudges, right?! Heh. Has Val Emmich invaded the airwaves yet? I'm serious. If you've heard these songs before, tell me where. These songs deserve airplay, folks. While his album Little Daggers won't knock any of my favorites [...]
