MP3 Mixx – Lady Gaga and Pink Tracks

There are a number of different websites that look to provide viewers with the greatest selection of MP3s. However, a great deal of these websites do not provide viewers with the best selection or with prices that are as low as MP3Mixx. It is due to these two largest factors that I would have to strongly recommend the website.First off, whether a viewer is looking to download Lady Gaga

Kodomo Interview

Who are you? Is there any significance to your stage name? The name “Kodomo” is the Japanese word for “Child”, my surname. It was a nickname I had as a kid, having grown up in Japan. Around 2000, I started doing remixes for bands and used Kodomo as my moniker. When I finally got around to working on my own album I realized I needed a name. After much contemplating…

DAVID MEAD’S DUDES DEBUTS ON ITUNES CHART THIS WEEK

Given that David Mead recorded Dudes as a communal effort, it’s not surprising that it’s populated by character portraits, examinations and stories of, well, mostly dudes. There are spunky retirees, a CIA recruit, a befuddled lover, an armed lackwit, and on the title track – an homage to the best guy friends of all – dudes themselves. Mead, known for his wicked wit and “honeyed and compelling vocal” (Entertainment Weekly),…

Bernward Koch – Silent Star (CD)

Silent Star begins with The New Day, a somber and serene track that sails on the waves of Koch’s immaculate piano playing. No vocals are needed to make this track properly soar – there is a narrative that weaves itself through all facets of this track. Softly Awakening continues many of the same trends that were originally created in The New Day, but Koch twists the overall sound to play…

After a fifteen year hiatus, the “classic line up” of Guided By Voices finished off its year-long reunion tour by recording an album of 21 new songs, making a deliberate effort to return to what bandleader Robert Pollard calls the “semi-collegial” approach of iconic GBV albums like Bee Thousand and Alien Lanes. Let’s Go Eat The Factory is some kind of return to form: sprawling, variegated, and yet still recognizably…

Schleprock – Learning to Fall (CD)

Before this album, I had no clue who Schleprock was, or that they have been around since 1989. To be honest, “Learning to Fall” is the rare example of an album created by a veteran band that does not sound like a bunch of washed-up individuals that are pitifully trying to recreate their glory days during any point of their seven year career. The music on “Learning To Fall” is…
