![[MUST HAVE] Bright Light Bright Light: Blueprints 1 EP Review](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4008646_lg.jpg)
Long time favorite of mine Bright Light Bright Light , aka Rod Thomas, just released his first US EP today. Blueprints 1 is a beautifully rich, honest, and touching collection of songs from one most talented musicians in the pop world. Blueprints is a stark and gorgeous departure from the textured, emotional synth-pop he has become loved and known for. Stripped down to a single piano, Rod's voice and the voices of musicians he has worked with over the course of a year hard at work creating his debut album. In a letter to fans Rod [...]

Classic '50s doo-wop sound applied to pop classics and '70s hits Though typically thought of as the second half of "Dion and the Belmonts," the group came together before their two-year stint backing Dion, and continued for decades afterwards. In addition to their immediate post-Dion records, the group continued into the 1960s with their own label and releases on United Artists, ABC and Dot. When the oldies revival of the early '70s caught back up to them, they released this fine album for Buddah in 1972, applying their a cappella street corner harmonies to [...]

Nothing remarkable about bands giving their music away for free (will U2 ever?) but a welcome development has been the rise of the LP (as in the vinyl frontier) release in tandem with the digital file free for all (unless you are a generous tipper).

Schaaf uses a form of acapella with all manner of loops/electronic wizardry to fill in the background and while that avenue might [...]
