Nashville-based digital label, GMV Nashville, has added a trio of Christmas titles from Deborah Allen, Daisy Mallory and Bill and Jeanine Walker to its digital catalog.

The Ocean – Aeolian (CD)

The style of “Aeolian” is fairly undistinguished during “The City and The Sea”. Sure, there is some point where an individual has to go back and say that “yes, this is metal” but beyond this, what else does The Ocean bring to the table? In fact, what The Ocean seem to bring to the table on “Aeolian” is a very long and drawn out approach to creating metal that stays…

Opposite Day (DVD)

Traditional knowledge would have it that a film with French Stewart (Third Rock From The Sun) and Pauly Shore (Jury Duty, Biodome) wouldn’t be a theatrical classic. However, Opposite Day ties together these two comedic actors, adds some kids and a cast of up and coming actors, and makes something that stands up to repeated viewings. The film has a number of hooks that it puts in children and adults…

The Obsoletes – Is This Progress? (CD)

Reminiscent of early Fastball and Barenaked Ladies, The Obsoletes do not easily fit into the mold that so many new-rock bands find themselves. Mixing so many inflences, Uncle Tupelo and Matthew Sweet to name a few, The Obsoletes burn through “Is This Progress” with the talent necessary to string together so many different bands without seeing bland or rote. Each track is mastered to such a point to flow perfectly…

A BIRTHDAY SONG FOR THE “LITTLE DRAGON” – BRUCE LEE

What happens when two fans of Bruce Lee from different parts of the world first “meet” online? They decide to write a musical tribute to their idol. And which is what happened when Hong Kong-based music marketing executive Hans Ebert, Chairman of We-Enhance Inc and Yorkshire-born singer-songwriter Jon Harrison, based in the UK, have done with a song that started life as “Little Dragon.” With lyrics from Ebert, former Executive…

Knight & Day (DVD)

Knight & Day has been one of the hardest films that I have ever had to review. It is not anything about the quality, but rather deals with the difficulty that all associated with the film had in getting the film to theaters in the first place. There were a number of cast shakeups and conflicting information about what the film itself was going to do – this home video…

Oasis – Stop The Clocks (CD)

Everyone remembers who Oasis are/were. They were the British act who in the mid nineties became nearly as famous as the Beatles while sounding somewhat similar to the Fab Four, albeit with slightly newer influences. The brothers that founded the band – Noel and Liam – were the equivalent of a Mick and Keith or a Steven and Joe, with a number of well documented blowups. The band has fallen…

Introducing the art punk experimental pop pastiche of Young Circles… Out 1/11/11

You’ll notice Florida’s Young Circles boasts a RIYL that’s all over the place and might not make any sense. Like the double rainbow, what does this mean? Well, it means that Young Circles’ art punk experimental pop live electro pastiche is a) all over the map in terms of songs and sounds, and b) wholly original. These guys have a genuinely new sound. I’d recommend you to check them out…

SUZANNA CHOFFEL’S “TENNESSEE STUD” IN NEW HIT MOVIE CATFISH

Austin-based singer/songwriter Suzanna Choffel learned of her involvement in the new film Catfish in a surprising manner – through friends congratulating her after having seen it, and obviously after the documentary was already released. In a world where increasing importance has been placed on musicians to have their work heard through alternative channels and music placement in film has become akin to competitive sport, it was the ultimate act of…

NVS – Silicon Valley Modern Suicide (CD)

The snotty, Fred Schneider-style of NVS’s vocalist Walter is in no way what I expected from this band. “The Beast Within” has a straight-forward punk type of sound, but a very emotive type of style that does not necessarily mesh perfectly with the music laid down. The band has been around for seven years, so there is some maturity floating around on this album. With this point, a song like…

Brennan Dylan – Bullet Ride (CD)

The bit of industrial and electronic music that comes issuing forth at the beginning of “Bullet Ride” primes listeners for what is to come. Fast, slow, intense, and more meandering sections all mesh to create a microcosm of the genre. While an instrumental concoction of Dylan, “War Parade” is nevertheless a track that has tremendous narrative qualities. Deftly integrating synthesizers, guitars, and drums into one coherent expression, Dylan gives listeners…
