Invites to Rdio to give away! The Clash: This is Radio Clash
I was recently introduced to a cool new social-music service, Rdio (pronounced ar-dee-o). A worthy shout out to Matt at songspeak.com! This is the best music option I have come across post-lala – the past few weeks I have switched between Grooveshark and Last.fm, but have been frustrated by both services. Grooveshark [...]
The Hives: Untutored Youth
The Hives are another Swedish rock band. They’re loud, frantic, and fast. Very fast. Looking at their image, more often than not dressed only in matching black and white attire, the band certainly do not come across as being an incarnation of past punk-rock bands such as The Clash or The [...]
Gossip: Vertical Rhythm
It’s funny what last.fm will throw at you from time to time, and sometimes I have to wonder just what I have previously listened to with some of the selections that enter my neighborhood station. Gossip is one of those examples, but at least it beats listening to the Trans Siberian Orchestra or [...]
Queen: Sheer Heart Attack
I just got done reading a far-fetched science-fiction/horror/action novel by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child title The Relic. The story is based around a ‘creature’ lurking around the depths of a natural history museum, and occasionally murdering anyone unlucky enough to cross paths with it. To be more descriptive, per DNA analysis, [...]
Kaiser Chiefs: Never Miss a Beat / The Knack: My Sharona
“Ooh my little pretty one, pretty one.
When you gonna give me some time, Sharona?”
ops.. wrong song – sorry! But doesn’t this sound like The Knack and their well known hit, My Sharona? The Kaiser Chief’s, a band that formed in Leeds, England released this as the lead of single to their third [...]
Interpol: Obstacle 1
Interpol, the band, not the International Police Force, is a New York Indie Band formed in the late 90’s. They have a sound similar to that of The Strokes, and Joy Division, an 80’s post-punk band from England. Honestly, I had a difficult time picking out a band that started with the [...]
Flogging Molly: Factory Girls
Flogging Molly are as Irish as a California can get, as this is where the band was formed by Irishman Dave King, who moved to L.A. in his twenties. Their musical output consists of the expected Irish drinking songs (Drunken Lullabies), fast paced sea-shanties (Salty Dog), and traditional Irish ballads such as this [...]
