I have been away from this thing for awhile, but I am back and have many new artists and new songs to share with you.. From now on out I am mostly going to post band names, genres, photos, and location, and maybe a review quote or two here and there...and let you take it from there.

"If angels existed, then here is one of the fallen. Quite simply one of the best tracks I have heard in my life, and as such, it is completely impossible to put ones finger on what makes it so great! Is it the angelic, pleading, honey soaked male vocals, or is it the crisp and pure drum sound? Could it be the evil grunge guitar that pounds in and out at will, or the structure which sounds different and more beguiling every time you hear it? I dunno, but this has to be the musical equivalent of Peter Falk in 'Wings of Desire'." David Loyd, www.newwelshmusic.com, Review of "Despair" by Mick OD.

"Somewhere in England, Pete Lush stumbled upon an 8-track recorder. Soon the air around him was filled with songs and with the help of his partner in crime Miss Ping on harmonica, backing vocals and drawings (lovely dreamlike images of animals in surreal situations like illustrations from a strange childrens book); he begat the album length creation called "Pardon?" in 1999. Two years later he saw fit to issue another emanation to the world, in the form of this fine set of 10 plaintively lovely slices of pure pop magic. Light as a feather, but overflowing with a deliriously sad undertow; as if walking on a tightrope between elation and despair..." ---George Parsons, Dream Magazine

The Innocence Mission
"Singer Karen Peris has an incandescent instrument; her voice flickers and glows with a mystical warmth. Though high, sheer and innocent as Art Garfunkel's falsetto, Peris' voice also projects enough maternal assurance to keep it grounded."
---Jim Farber, New York Daily News

hosting, No Monthly Fees charges you just $200 for life. An amazing 200 MB
of storage, full CGI-BIN, site stats, everything you will ever need. All
you pay after that is $35 a year for the domain registration.
Commission Junction -- Even if the site
is a labor of love, there is no reason why you can't hook up with affiliate
programs that will pay you for sending traffic their way. This is where you
