Glasvegas: Ice Cream Van
Ice Cream Van’s are creepy at the best of times, but the local one in my neighborhood has to rank amongst the creepiest. As a parent, you must be out of your mind to allow your child to run down the road after an Ice Cream Van with “Mr. Ding-a-Ling” painted on the side [...]
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 [...]

Imelda May: Johnny Got a Boom Boom
Rockabilly, 50’s Rock n’ Roll, Bluesy, Jazzy, did I miss anything? Imelda May is touted as the next big star. I’m not sure how high up she ranks on American shores – she has aims of breaking into the US market – but the Irish (her nationality) and British press are all [...]
The Hoosiers: Run Rabbit Run
Jeff Buckley walks amongst us again. Irwin Sparkes, vocalist of a three-piece Indie band from UK/Sweden called The Hoosiers definitely can match Buckley in range and pitch, so it’s no surprise that Buckley was the first comparison that I drew upon when listening to this track. The enchanting keyboards and stealthy drum beat [...]
