MYSPACE CONNECTIONS – I pick a band and go to their myspace page. Then I pick one of their friends on myspace and go to their page. I continue the process over until l’ve picked 10 bands.
***I found the first pick, Phantogram on 3hive.com, a music blog I much enjoy. From there I clicked on Phantogram’s myspace page ***
Phantogram – is from Saratoga Springs, NY. Sarah D. Barthel and Joshua M. Carter are the force behind their synth bending, fluttering guitar, and soothing vocals.
Railbird – a mix of elevated spoken word and minimalist pop rock. I particularly like the song Swamp Thing.
Sean Rowe – Mr. Rowe just finished a Fall 2009 tour with Noah & the Whale. Sean’s voice is deep – sometime’s I think Bruce Springsteen, sometimes I think Bruce Hornsby.
Matthew Carefully – mixes electronic beats with acoustic instruments. Cool video.
We Are Jeniric – “We live in a haunted house. Sometimes the ghosts wake us up in the middle of the night. Sometimes they play music, but only on the piano or the violin.” –myspace profile
Pinguinos – Peter was born and raised in Brooklyn. Now he lives Albany. I recommend Hibernating Season. It’s very Mountain Goats-y, and I saw that in the most complimenting way.
BEWARE! the other head of science – just watch the video:
Desperately Obvious – again, just watch the video:
Birthdays – If Dan Deacon had sex with Animal Collective the baby would be Birthdays. I thought of that when I listened to their song Mating Falls.
THE LAST PICK…………
TRUMAN PEYOTE – really, it’s the clever name that got me.
THANKS FOR PLAYING. UNTIL NEXT TIME…
