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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 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 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 […]

When you come to this guy’s MySpace page you get a huge banner ad for his new single “Overrated.” To whom this would be not annoying, I’m not sure. Five Times August appears to be a dude named Brad Skistimas in Austin, Texas who is attempting to single handily destroy any reputation the city has […]

Is Hollywood Undead the worst music ever? After listening to the songs on their MySpace page this seems like a completely reasonable question. Their sound is like all the worst aspects of every awful music trend from the last 20 years.
It’s like Limp Bizkit mixed with Eminem and the Backstreet Boys. It’s hard to imagine […]
