Welcome

Hello, and welcome to the site!

This is the place to be if you like music.

With no bias for genre - from Classical, Jazz and R&B to Electronic, Dance and Hip-Hop and everything in between - I'll be promoting all the good music I find (old and new) or listen to already, by notable artists that I hope you'll enjoy as much as I do.

You'll also find info on sound recording & editing techniques, software and hardware; voiceover recording; and much general weirdness from the web to keep you entertained.

I recommend:

• The Bird And The Bee - These guys have only been around a few years now and are getting a lot of much deserved praise for their original sound that combines pop, jazz, latin and dance influences, with a simultaneous blend of ultra-modern and retro styling. New album out late January 2009.
• Rilo Kiley - Sweet voice and great melodic and catchy songs. Recent album "Under The Blacklight" is well worth your time. Elvis Costello has noted his admiration for their songwriting skills - high praise indeed!
• Ween - Not for the faint of heart, Ween range in style from space rock to hardcore metal and slow jams. If you like every song by an artist to sound different and have lyrics that would make Howard Stern blush, then this is a band for you.
• Supergrass - Good, strong, reliable, rock. Their last two albums "Road to Rouen" and "Diamond Hoo Ha" are great. Their eponymous 1999 album is a must have in anyone's music library.
• Metric - A bit too edgy for everyone (a good thing in my opinion), but check out tracks Combat Baby, Dead Disco, Monster Hospital and Poster of a Girl. New album due out early 2009.
• Ella Fitzgerald - Anything. Seriously, pretty much anything by this remarkable woman will give you shivers it's so good. To avoid quoting the usuals, check out Too Darn Hot, Ace In The Hole and From This Moment On.

So there's a start. I'll keep posting anything notable, new and old and perhaps feature one artist per posting when time permits.

Hope you like - leave feedback!
