kui! kui! On MYSPACE »

This is some pretty incredible music by an experimental Japanese outfit. They got mad Trip-Hop minimalism going on and bizarre freestyle vocalizations. The beats and other sampled pieces of instrumentation are all rather stark in approach, the musical presentation almost hypnotic at times.
I find myself very much addicted to the sounds of kui! […]

Your Sister’s Canary »

Your Sister’s Canary is a band from Bergen, New Jersey and they play Blues/Pop/Jazz music, at least that’s what it says on their MySpace page.
So how come I’m reviewing this band? Unlike some of the really horrid MySpace bands we’ve reviewed on this site before (Hollywood Undead) this one wasn’t found at the top of […]

Alice Kim Jenkins has done it again! »

The new piece by Alice Kim Jenkins is aluminous and effervescent and just plain old calming. She figures in greatly and wildly, strange figures from outer-space. I enjoy her trifles and her other-worldly glue-gun apparatus of goodness. There are pleasant pauses in this piano-based instrumental composition from heaven. One does indeed […]

My Critique of Your Sound Thus Far (An Open Letter to Alice Kim Jenkins) »

Dear Alice Kim,
I greatly enjoy “A Walk in the Park” and could listen to this song quite often. It almost reminds me of something that would have appeared in one of those Jill Clayburgh films of the 1970’s, such as “An Unmarried Woman”. There is something slightly melancholy about “A Walk in the […]

Crystal Castles »

Ah yes, a MySpace Music feature. We haven’t had one of these in awhile. Tonight I’m listening to a group called Crystal Castles which I found ranked #10 among the unsigned “top artist” listings.
Listening to “Crimewave,” I’m not sure what I think. It’s not really what I expected from Thrash/Thrash/Thrash as their genre. This […]

MYSPACE Band Review: The Blast Furnace »

This is the sort of band that causes one to take pause and to reevaluate one’s life, and quite sincerely so at that. It would appear that this is the sound persons in the city of Detroit choose to make or simply must make, and all this despite the fact that my period is […]

Lies UnKnown »

First I’ll post the spam that these guys left on a recent entry:
Real True Band “Lies unKnown”
Forget about tuning in to another band that sounds like the last ten you’ve just heard. “Lies unKnown” is a real true to life Detroit Rock & Roll Band. Originating from the surrounding suburbs, they have united together to […]

Mindless Self Indulgence »

I’ve been looking for a band to challenge Hollywood Undead for the title of “Worst Music Ever” and just about 15 seconds into the first song on Mindless Self Indulgence’s MySpace page “Never Wanted To Dance” I think I may have a true challenger. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not ready to hand the crown […]

The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus »

The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus are quite popular on MySpace, they have over 47 million plays thus far and they are currently ranked #4 among unsigned bands. In the past I’ve found that most of the most popular groups on MySpace tend to suck ass as MySpace is filled with kids who don’t know anything about […]

The Strange Loop »

The Strange Loop is the other side of the MySpace music equation. We’ve written some scathing reviews of some of the most popular MySpace “artists” such as Hollywood Undead (who are truly awful) but then there’s cool quirky original music like The Strange Loop, who prior to MySpace (and the internet in general) would probably […]
