Alanis Shares Her Empathy

Last year saw the release of Alanis Morissette’s touching, powerful and sweet album Havoc and Bright Lights. It is full of strong performances and perhaps one of the most heartfelt songs is entitled “Empathy”. The song certainly struck close to my heart and I think it is a beautiful look at interpersonal relationships and...

What’s cooler than David Bowie’s Space Oddity? Actually recording and shooting a video of Space Oddity in space! Commander Chris Hadfield on the Internation Space Station decided to rock out in the coolest music video location of all time and he sent us the result. It sounds pretty good for a guy without a...

For over a decade now one of my favourite artists has been Pink. She’s a daring young woman and it is always fascinating to see what she’ll come up with next. She’s an artist who is willing to push, willing to experiment. I’m never sure what sort of turns her next album will tak,...

Hydrogen Child by Super Water Sympathy now available

Back in February we talked about a new album coming from the talented group Super Water Sympathy. It’s a great CD, artfully performed and produced. Now that the album ,titled Hydrogen Child, is available for download I just want to say again how much I enjoy this band’s style. Check out the first from...

I really enjoy music videos which try something different. Sometimes that “something different” is a series of long camera shots with very few cuts, sometimes it’s stop-animation, something it’s setting up a complex machine to entertain the audience. In this case it’s baking biscuits. Well, okay, it’s more than baking biscuits, it’s the story...

Review: Girls by Splintered In Her Head

Splintered In Her Head may be the first band I know of which has dedicated an entire album to having an Asian fetish. Okay, I’m being a little facetious, I don’t think Splintered In Her Head’s latest album, “Onnanoko”, which means “Girls” in Japanese, is really putting a fetish on display. Their five-track album...

You might recognize Vicci Martinez from the NBC television show The Voice where she competed in 2011. Or you might have caught some of her performances on American Idol or Star Search. She has certainly made the rounds of the major talent shows. (Which is suitable, she’s a major talent.) Vicci’s latest project as...

Review: Our Machine by Davenport Cabinet

Our Machine is the second album to be released by the group Davenport Cabinet. The group was originally described to me as being “alternative folk rock”, an odd label, but it sparked my curiosity. If there is one thing I love it is a mystery and the group’s name, accompanied with their description, made...
