Best New Music BEST NEW MUSIC SHINE Gentley Insane rock alternative pop What a great name for an emerging group! 'Shine.' This is exactly what this quartet does, they shine - and blindingly so, this group is making some decent waves in the music scene, and it isn't surprising with the talent they've got. If the music doesn't reach you, then the lyrics will, especially when delivered by this prodigious vocalist! They will leave an indelible impression somewhere within your subconscious, and you won't realize it until you find yourself humming one of the songs from the disc! Shine is: Marnie Anderson (vocals), Jeff Fairbank (electric, acoustic guitars, backing vocals), Neil Bell (bass, backing vocals), and Matt Pavan (drums, percussion). Singularly, they are talented, together they are fantastic. Site: www.shinemusic.ca Samples: music.yahoo.com GooGoo Dolls Better Days rock alternative accoustic Early in their career, Buffalo natives the Goo Goo Dolls were frequently dismissed by critics as mere imitators of the Replacements; however, the band refined and mainstreamed their sound enough to become of the most popular adult alternative rock bands of the latter half of the '90s, selling millions of records to audiences largely unfamiliar with their inspirations. That's no knock on the band either their music simply improved in craft and accessibility as the years progressed, and radio happened to be receptive to what a decade earlier would have been considered collegiate power pop. Thus, the band landed two huge hits with the acoustic ballads "Name" and "Iris." The Goo Goo Dolls were formed in Buffalo, NY, in 1985 by guitarist / vocalist Johnny Rzeznik, bassist Robby Takac, and drummer George Tutuska Site: www.googoodolls.com Samples: music.space

I want in on this internet thingy! ". And now the ubermogul and possible inspirer of Bond villains looks like he's getting back into the dotcom race: NewsCorp has just splashed out $580m on Intermix, the owner of the incredibly popular Myspace.com. For those not in the know, Internetnews says Myspace is: a social networking site which is the fifth-ranked Web domain in terms of page views, according to comScore Media Metrix. MySpace integrates profiles, blogs, instant messaging, e-mail, music downloads, photo galleries, classified listings, events, groups, chat rooms and user forums. We reported on the rise of Myspace earlier this year , saying it was "trendier than Friendster" - but in truth, hardcore webheads have actually been fairly sniffy of Myspace's success. Fair enough, it's not pretty, and Intermix portfolio is rather ragged: greetings cards, quizzes, music downloads. But where Murdoch sniffs profit, he usually finds it. Murdoch's quoted in The Guardian's own report : "We see a great opportunity to combine the popularity of Intermix's sites, particularly MySpace, with our existing online assets to provide a richer experience for today's internet users." The question is, richer for who, Rupert? Comments If you are on Myspace come and join this group. http://groups.myspace.com/murdochfoxmyspace Posted by sabotage on July 19, 2005 11:06 AM. Offensive?

Fortunately, the music on this self-titled release leaves little to question as any energy that is spent on debating the name is almost immediately shifted to the lower part of the body. Yes, the legs. Just to be sure, I checked with your doctor, and those appendages are OK to use while listening to indie music. Musically speaking, Dracula Zombie USA’s music is quite spastic and has the energy of a 3-year-old. Many of the songs on the album combine elements of dancey DJ-driven electronica, call-and-response punk, some arty noise-punk, and, of course, classic indie rock along the lines of the Pixies. The music is more than just a mash-up of different elements and a carbon copy of Mr. “Two Turn Tables and a Microphone” Beck. In fact, this is better than what any bedroom mashup “artist” could cut and paste together. ( continued ) You can access the rest of my reviews written at DOA here . Posted by Jason : Comment * * * Still Alive · 38 minutes ago You may have noticed the lack of posts here. I will be returning shortly. Having de-holidized myself and getting my day to day routine back to normal, posts and the podcast will resume shortly. If anyone cares, here’s my top 10 of 2005. 1) A Northern Chorus – Bitter Hands Resign Lyrically, sonically, emotionally superior than any other album this year, hands down. 2) Dracula Zombie USA – S/T I am surprised this band hasn’t garnered more hype. 3) Block Party – Silent Alarm Poppy guilty pleasure of 2005. 4) My Morning Jacket – Z Color me amazed, I never expected an album like this from MMJ. 5) Bob Mould – Body of Song Welcome back to the world of rock, Bob. 6) M83 – Before the Dawn Heals Us Big sound that makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up. 7) Sun Kil Moon – Tiny Cities I wish I had Mark Kozelek’s voice. 8) Clap Your Hands Say Yeah – S/T Self-released band does good, thanks to mp3 blogs. 9) Okkervil River – Black Sheep Boy Indie Americana-rock at its finest. 10) Low – The Great Destroyer Legendary quiet band experiments with turning up the amps, blows my mind. Posted by Jason : Comment * * * Two Gallants · 14 days ago Drum and bass is so 1990’s. This decade it’s drum and guitar. And that is what the Two Gallants are, a guitarist and a drummer who create music that could be interpreted as folky punk Irish drinking songs for playing poker in a Midwestern mining town pub. Singer/guitarist Adam Stephenson and drummer Tyson Vogel complement each other nicely creating songs full of the blues and despair but dripping over the sides with a twinge hope, like all good songs are supposed to be. “My Madonna” is my favorite of the lot below: “I awake on the floor with my country at war and I wish I could care but my liver’s too sore. If liquor’s a lover you know I’m a whore.” : Train That Stole My Man : Nothing To You : My Madonna Posted by Jason : Comment * * * Mothers Against Noise · 15 days ago Regardless of whether or not this is a hoax, Mothers Against Noise is one of the funniest websites I have seen in ages. From their website, noise music embraces: 1. Rebellion 2. Violence 3. Nihilism 4. Escapism 5. Drugs / Alcoholism 6. Perversion 7. Dissonant / Offensive Sound 8. Paranormal / Occult Activities 9. Anti-God / Anti-Authority 10. Cult-like Organization And so does much of the music here. So if you like one or more of the 10 characteristics of noise, keep reading! via mefi Posted by Jason : Comment [4] * * * Podcast #2 · 17 days ago I just returned home this evening from attending various holiday festivities with my families.

Helped with the likes of members of the Decemberists, Norfolk & Western, and even Desert City Soundtrack, Short evokes a modern country and alt-country feel while presenting a modern and unique vocal-driven sound. On her debut, Oh Say Little Dogies, Why? , Short used mostly her voice and acoustic guitar, writing pleasant ballads in the style of Lucinda Williams, but on her newest release and first on Hush Records , she has other musicians filling out her sound with light drums, strings, horns, and more. Still, the focus is on acoustic guitar and Short’s voice, which, with echoey production, brings to mind Kristen Hersh and even Tonya Donnelly, not in style but in tone and approach. It gives the songs a more pressing and emotive flair. Short’s songs are simple in structure but sweet and heartfelt, possessing the storytelling quality true country and folk are known for. She has a lovely voice, and with superb production qualities, her newest release, Captain Wild Horse (Rides the Heart of Tomorrow) , is a fine effort that maintains country sensibilities while surely appealing to more diverse fans. Oh Say Little Dogies, Why? : Singing Brigade : It’s Here, it’s There : Trouble Takes a Long Time : Carbon Paper Skies Posted by Jeff : Comment * * * Spectacular Fantastic and Tessitura · 28 days ago Earlier this year in May , I led you to a wonderful online album from the Spectacular Fantastic . The band recently released a split single with the band Tessitura, which is the solo project of their rhythm guitarist Jon Williams. The album is available via the Vibrating Needle Recording Collective . Tessiture also has a album available for download here . The bands are trying to let everyone know that “free music doesn’t have to suck.” These two bands sure make a strong case for that statement. Download that split single below. : Winter Song (TSF) : You (TSF) : Haze (Tessitura) : Nervous (Tessitura) Posted by Jason : Comment * * *
