Big Stick : A Threat Sorry-Ok-Yes : Supermask Photographer Caves : Rock You To Sleep Learn More & Buy.... Big Stick ... Sorry-Ok-Yes ... Caves
The Sessions tease us just that little bit more. Frustratingly a single lonesome track pointing towards that promised new direction. `If I Knew` captures many musical influences , British icons & fallen hero`s ... Dare I mention Joy Division/New Order , The Cure & The Stone Roses all wrapped up in a nice warm mohair blanket. The Sessions : If I Knew Online
Rhino Records , the long time champions of classic artists , new talent & today's important social issues seem to thrive working with an international multi-media group. Rhino TV brings us some high quality selections of embeddable/downloadable new music videos , indepth interviews & rare footage lifted from The Warner Music back catalogue. Still in the early stages (2000 + videos). Nice touches which include regularly updated editorial content , artist updates & the noticeable shortage of page after page of crap user music videos (you`re not funny & you know it !).
Scottish singer/songwriter Colin Macintyre`s fourth album release `The Water` (previous three aka Mull Historical society) delivers a precious mixture of inoffensive pop melodies combined with a diverse sense of modern voyeurism exposed in his lyrics. Fabulous multi speaker production from Mr `Lemon Jelly` Nick Franglen gives us a subtle complex sound allowing each instrum ent it`s own important place. An important release that takes you everywhere yet nowhere, almost certainly a musical road trip ... Release date of 4/2/08. [...]

The extremely eagerly awaited follow up to `The Shredding Tears` has the official release date of a very scary April 1st . `Flight Of The Knife` is being described as being heavier , maybe even slightly more dramatic , not that Bryan Scary needs a change to this wonderful formula contained in his brightly coloured melting pot of ideas & spoils. Another collection of eccentric penned songs moving with a marvellous array of sound & vision. Meanwhile over at Scaryville from Jan 8th free tracks from`Flight Of The Knife` will be available to stream or download [...]
Sorry really late with the mention of this new DVD documentary released nearly two weeks ago. Never Mind The Sex Pistols:An Alternative History captures the real spirit & camaraderie of the early British Punk scene. Inside interviews with people that mattered , the punk elite who unknowingly pulled the strings & thrust a youth movement to tabloid front pages. Not surprising there`s no original music to be found on this unofficial 100 minute DVD , just straight talking in-depth interviews , unseen photos & fantastic stories with people who were there for the rise & fall of [...]

Shooting myself in the foot here , I`m just totally blown away .... Lismore .... An Intense Electro/New Wave Sound , I`ll just quote the info from the website & get my Coat .." Two next door neighbors, Australian-born Penelope and Ohio-bred Stephen blindly began making electronic pop songs together unwittingly creating their acclaimed glitchy electronic debut CD, We Could Connect Or We Could Not. Influenced by touring, coffee, NYC electro nights, and other things that make anyone completely nerved out and insane, Lismore dropped the glitches, 2 band members, and 2 long-term relationships, and pushed their DIY fattened up, [...]

Kino intrigues & somewhat confuses me. He has a plan , he has a map , what`s he got in mind? Whether this cosmic soldier has followed Major Tom to oblivion or he`s firing British Psychedelia to the next dimension, there`s something pretty interesting going on here. Jeff Blenkinsopp has producing duties for the now finished eleven track album , so perfectly twinned with Kino`s musical influences.
Meredith DiMenna & Keith Saunders have exported some very coo l sultry sounds from Bridgeport , Connecticut. The live recorded debut album`In The Ballroom`is sickeningly good , smoothly rounded & fantastically mixed by Peter Katis. Superb lounge vocals & Jazz filled Beats ... Pass me my slippers!
