| What you're about to read is a collection of pointers to some of the music I've discovered on the iTunes Music Store, music I like enough that I want to share it. If you're an iPod owner and an iTunes fan (and if you aren't, what are you doing here?), maybe you'll find something new. Click on any of the CD covers to bounce over to the store and sample a few tracks. And then maybe stop by my other blog for a few well chosen words (and maybe a random snark or two). |

| Bug Fights / Jeff Byrd | |
|
Back in the Dark Ages of the Web(TM) when I was struggling to think of
content to fill my site, I hit on the idea of writing about some
favorite mystery series. An unexpected
side effect of that decision is that I get occasional offers of new
mysteries to review. I used to accept these offers, until I realized
that free books are often worth exactly that. With rare exceptions,
the books I got were amateurish. And not in a good way. And nothing
I received ever prompted me to write a review. Even I am not that
cruel.
But here's a first for this blog: a musician who emailed me about his new album. I gave it a listen and think it's worthy of your attention. Being the lazy sort, I'll let Jeff tell you what he told me:
I'd like to introduce my CD, Bug Fights. It's newly available on iTunes. It's mostly chill Radiohead-esque melody music, but it has its rockin' moments too. I'm not going to hype it. It's just a CD--nothing for saving worlds, but it's a tight piece of work some people will love. In 2000, I co-founded a NYC punk band called Stupid (www.stupidband.com), but now I'm on my own. Nothing like Stupid, Bug Fights is almost entirely my creation. I must however credit Charles "Chicky" Reeves for co-producing and mixing. He also recorded two tracks. Also Ryan White played sax on a track, and co-wrote one. Fine gentlemen they. Thanks for the ears! Jeff Byrd |
