People in a Position to Know Records offers a 6 song tribute to The Fleetwoods, a great (if too-little-remembered) doo wop band, who made the classic tunes Mr. Blue, Graduation, Come Softly to Me, Go Away Little Girl, Tragedy, and To Know Her (Is To Love Her)). The album was a limited pressing (only 490 [...]

1. 10 Recording Mistakes that Made the Final Cut. 2. The NY Post’s 100 Best Cover Songs of All Time. 3. Top Ten 80s Sit Com MILFs. I can’t agree with lots of these choices, except for Peg Bundy and Erin Gray. 4. Top 1 Best Shameless Cross Promotion. 5. The 5 Best Top 20 [...]

Well, I’m sad to say that unlike the other interblognetpolls I’ve taken, this one is a bust. Not only are the responses few and far between, but they’re all over the place. If you’re curious to see some of them, the ones that weren’t e-mailed to me, you can find them here. As you can [...]

So, the other day I had an hour to kill and I always spend that time checking out the mailbag. The next disc in a stack that’s way too large for a single pair of ears is called, Stephanie’s ID. I think, what a horrible name for a band. Then I realize it’s not Stephanie’s [...]

We love to give away the Scion CD Samplers here, because they always feature up-and-comers, cutting edge dance, hip hop, and the like. This give-away also coincides with our attempt to compile a list of the best songs from modern soundtracks. So, we get to use it as prizes! This compilation features a mix put [...]

A reader of the blog pulled in by our recent Professor Murder post forwards the most distressing news.

Viktor Vaughn, etc.) But the reader [...]

I can’t say why exactly, but for some reason “Booths” off Parade’s new EP, “Answer Me,” reminds me of The Alan Parsons Project, just a little.
