music reviews and news

I heard about Mindless Self Indulgence's "If" from my friend. I got into them with their cds You'll Rebel To Anything and Frankenstein Girls Will Seem Strangely Sexy, but I hadn't heard from their new album.

So, I got it and from the beginning it grabbed me in and made me love it instantly.

I especially love "Never Wanted To Dance" "Issues" "Perscription" and "Get It Up"

Putting negative media statements aside, Scarlett Johansson's cd "Anywhere I Lay My Head" is honestly really good. It's acquired taste, and made me think of Tegan and Sara music wise with a voice reminiscent of 90's rock. Her single "Falling Down" is my given favorite, but I really like "Anywhere I Lay My Head" "I Don't Wanna Grow Up" and "No One Knows I'm Gone". If you like Tegan and Sara, you'll probably really like this. It's a good mix of indie and dark electronic trip hop.

t.A.T.u.'s upcoming album "Waste Management" seems to have a solid release date for this month, but the release date has been changed before. It was scheduled to be released December 07, but was postponed multiple times.
The album's lead single "White Robe" [with a theme of World War II and speculative theme of reincarnation] was released back in late fall last year. It's video can be seen on YouTube in it's Russian version, "Belyi Plaschik".

Duffy's debut album, "Rockferry" has gotten some buzz in the US but is big in the UK. Already started to play on Sonic Radios around the country, Duffy's lead single "Mercy" presents to us a rush of rythmic 60's soul influenced song; with hidden influences of the music of today. Her second single "Warwick Avenue" has not gotten as much buss in the US, but is still a great song with a great vieo. Check it out, I blast it in the car everytime I got out.
As for me, I'm doing really great :)
Working on the press kit.

"You're My Cocaine" will be the first track on the demo cd. Along with "A City Scribbled Out" and "Should've Felt This Coming".

A City Scribbled Out isn't on the player on my myspace, but in the next few weeks it'll be up there.

Everything's coming together :) And I can just feel the June breeze.
