[MP3] Sharpless: “Greater Than”
Why is it so much harder these days to find legitimately bouncy pop rock that we don’t have to get all depressed / mellowed out by? I mean, don’t get me wrong, mellow is my THING, but it gets old. I’ve said it a few times here before, but we all need some pep in… Continue reading [MP3] Sharpless: “Greater Than”
Jonquil & Keep Shelly in Athens (but mostly Jonquil) @ Glasslands
By superstar contributor Caitlin White [photo by Tom | GoldFlakePaint] It seems that everything Hugo Manuel touches turns to gold. From Chad Valley to Jonquil, I am head over heels for this man’s voice, in its myriad of forms. Manuel switches effortlessly between a soft lullabye vocal and the lovable British yell singing that still… Continue reading Jonquil & Keep Shelly in Athens (but mostly Jonquil) @ Glasslands

Rem’s Floating Chandelier releases new album, Think Of The Willows
It wasn’t so long ago I first wrote about Rem’s Floating Chandelier, a Virginia trio that began within the past year. They had some superb songs to start things off on the right foot, and now they’ve returned with the could-you-be-more-ambient? full length Think Of The Willows. (Though, it looks like this time they have… Continue reading Rem’s Floating Chandelier releases new album, Think Of The Willows
