Tug Of War

Charlie — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 16:56:18 +0000

Here’s “Tug Of War,” our latest reckless assault on the pop rock music genre. Do not be concerned; there are no long-term studies that conclusively prove that listening will result in irreparable emotional scarring. However, within the first few bars you’ll wish that it came with a length of rope so you can end your misery.

Though the world hangs in the balance, some urgent matters just cannot wait.

Seek Passion and Ye Shall Find

Charlie — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 14:36:26 +0000

Little Tybee is a collection of skilled musicians out of Georgia. “Passion Seekers” is a lush pop song with shades of Melanie, a hint of Rufus Wainright III, and a dash of Maria Muldaur. We think you’ll find it super-yummy-licious.

Some Rainbows Lead To Fool’s Gold

Charlie — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 18:24:40 +0000

Here’s Graham Parker and the Rumour with our favorite track from their phenomenal second album, “Heat Treatment.” It’s a perfect example of the punkish, sneering new wave sound coming out of England in the late 70s as a welcome relief from Top 40 radio’s ubiquitous onslaught of disco. If this is fool’s gold, we’ll take it.

Return of the Nutty Professor

As it happened, von Shmendrick was not at home due to a prior obligation at the Lipshitz bar mitzvah. Read the rest of this entry →

Studies Indicate That Ignorance Is Bliss

A recent survey conducted by “The Survival of the Specious Foundation,” a local community college think tank, revealed conclusively that ignorance is, indeed, bliss. Social scientists have long suspected this to be true and, ironically, are less happy now that they know it. To hear anecdotal supporting data, click HERE.

The Four-One-One on “Five, Five, Five”

Charlie — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 13:57:59 +0000

The Winnerys are a pop band out of Madrid that make you remember why you loved the Beatles. Here’s a catchy song from their CD “Daily Urban Times” called “Five, Five, Five.”

Time To Walk Away

Charlie — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 14:13:31 +0000

Here’s England’s James Hunter delivering some old school soul like a latter day Sam Cooke. “I’ll Walk Away” is from his 2006 release called “People Gonna Talk.” When you hear something this good, it’s hard to walk away.

Consider listening in as the wacky misadventures ensue.

It’s Time To Play: Which Review Is Real?

Can You Guess “Which Review Is Real?”

“The sophomore effort from Alden Kahn and the KOs will definitely launch them from relative obscurity into utter oblivion.” –Groovetastic On Line
“…the music sounds like Elvis Costello with a horn section…grandiose and overstated, and beautifully produced. Mr. Kahn knows his pop, and this album moves with plenty of pure pop sensibility in a variety of genres, almost like some sort of twisted musical.”
–Mish Mash Indie Review
“The appeal of Alden Kahn cannot be denied, but only because the subject never comes up.”
–Songcraft Magazine
