SPARKS
Every now and then, you come across a band from the annals of time that absolutely blows your fucking mind, and you attempt to rationalize how in gods name you made it this far without knowing jack shit about them.
And the worst part about it is it wasn't even suggested by a dear friend or dremt about in a holy vision from god.
oh no, it was piped in through some retarded source like vh1 classic on a saturday afternoon or youtube of all places.
That's how I found out about sparks, and quite frankly, I have no idea why this band never conquered the world like the who or the rolling stones or something. I mean, damn man.
so many things, so many facinating tiny facts I want to outline, here are a few
-they're brothers.
-they've been doing music for almost 40 years nonstop
-that moustache.
-they're from LA! not england! (though they admit to being anglophiles)

hell, just read the damn wikipedia article.
so go buy 32 of their albums and go to one of their shows.
DJ copy is the bomb digity
SO Jonbro let me borrow this album called HAIR GUITAR by DJ COPY. It's nice and happy! The best way I can think to describe it is slightly midish-arpy-disco-synth pop with a healthy slab of production gravy. The mood is very fanciful, but not gayly so. DEFINITELY cheer up music. There are these smidges of shredish riffs and solos which are vrry nice. Alot of the songs have this really awesome epic kind of fantasy vibe to them which I totally dig. hardcore even.
When you buy it from Audio Dregs it comes with BONE THUGS N HARMONY N COPY.
how awesome is BONE THUGS N HARMONY N COPY?
IT'S THAT FUCKING AWESOME!
IT IS MY SUGGESTION is that you buy the vinyl record, cause it's only 10$ and it comes with both the bonus cd and access to mp3 downloads + a cdr of HAIR GUITAR. that's a shitload of stuff for 10$. IF that's STILL too much for yo po ass, access to the mp3 downloads are only 6$(sans BONE cdr): that's roughly the price of a value meal, and I for one think this album is worth skipping several meals and then some.
THIS SONG IS A MESS BUT SO AM I/ TEEN MOMS
Myspace is the ultimate internet-music double edged blade. Never before have so many depressingly unfit for real life people made such catastrophically horrible, HORRIBLE music. Sometimes you really can't tell if it's a joke, and other times you KNOW it's not a joke, and yes, the middle school white rapper's mom really did comment on his page and tell him he was "da illest",and that she was his "numba 1 fan".
On the OTHER hand, it's a great way to browse music and meet people that you would NEVER EVER bump into under any other circumstances. I got my first track into print through myspace. I met Jason (dj socky) and mike (polygonskull), and now they're releasing my album under his label, Fantasy Violence Records
Here are interesting artists I've found on myspace:
A myspace artist I'm more than jazzed by is Teen Moms. He's got this green-myspace artist feel to him, but the fun in his music outshines the slight gameboy/fl studio vibe. creme of the myspace electro-dance crop.
Teen moms' myspace (at least 3 free downloads there)
Freddy Rupert makes some very interesting music, and has some of the most engaging live shows I've ever seen. He's garnered alot of attention and critical acclaim with his project "This Song is a Mess, but So Am I". I absolutely hate it when people compare new artists to already established artists, but I can't help thinking "if Morissey was roommates with Ministry in college", even though he honestly sounds like neither.
"When I originally started this project in May 2003, it was a way for me to deal with the death of my mother from cancer in January of that same year. I don't think I really had any intentions of dragging it out this long."
Freddy still makes music but not under the name "This Song is a Mess, but So Am I".

review: Legowelt - Classics 1998-2003
I bought the mp3 album from Bleep.com last night, and is as awesome as a t-rex with robot arms and rocket launchers. The mood however, is less cybernetic t-rex, but more euro-horror-carpendertastic-electro-spy-thriller-orgasm. Some of the songs may seem a little too similar, but I definitely don't mind. This album is sweet, sweet, gravy. If you even THINK you like legowelt, than this is the album for you.
So I get my assignment and I have to track a west german operative carrying top secret documents concerning a communist plot so thick, so earth shattering, that not even I know what it's concerning. Our chase leads us across europe on the trans-europe express, and as I watch the old country unfold before me, I can't help but ponder what could possibly be so secret that I couldn't even be told about it. I finally track the target through the dirty ghettos of the hague. When I finally catch him, I learn more than I wish.
Suddenly everything changes as Wulfgang tells me what I innitally think are babbleings of a mad man. A tale of mindcontrol, interdimentional portals, the Occult, and government controlled zombies. I don't believe him untill a bullet misses me and shatters the framed picture on the wall behind us. Now both governments are after us, and we have to work together just to survive, and some how we must reverse the portal and save mankind.
The album sounds just like that.

Everybody listen to count dorkula!!!!
Sometimes, I like to get on myspace and search for band names I'm not sure exist or not, like "the violent gynocologists" or "stankfyst". Sometimes they do exist, and usually I am floored by the medocrity of their music.
"Count Dorkula" was More than the exception. His laidback far west desert vibes and are fan-fucking-tastic.
