One makes you cry, the other makes you laugh. However mixing them together is just what Comedian and Harmonica player Michael Connell is planning to do in a new comedy show. "I've been doing comedy for over eight years, and playing the Harmonica for the last four, and I've always kept my comedy and music very separate," Michael explains. "However, recently I've begun to notice there's a lot of similarities between the Blues and Comedy. For me, they're both about taking something negative, like being poor or getting cheated on, and turning it into something positive like music or laughter." Titled, appropriately enough, "The Blues", the show will run at The Street Theatre in mid September.

| | | Blog Entry | Hey, I'm a 21 year old female from the North Eastern suburbs. I don't have any band experience yet but I do have some performance experience with my singing school. I prefer to do vocals though I can do some basic drums and a few chords on the acoustic guitar. I also write lyrics. Open genre - a result of different players musical preferences and styles combining as one to form a unique sound. Must have own transport, basic equipment and if you have a practice space that's a plus but not necessary. Must be musically open-minded. Mixed, but mostly originals. My influences: silverchair, my chemical romance, the butterfly effect, evanescence... At the moment I am looking for a drummer, bassist and guitarist. Contact me if you are interested.

Being mined from a type of serpentine rock, it was natural, abundant and easy to produce, yet its unique properties made it almost limitlessly useful.It was resistant to chemicals and intense heat. It was an excellent electrical and thermal insulator. Out of its fibers, you could weave a cloth that wouldn't burn. You could even mix it with other materials to make them stronger and more fireproof.ADVERTISEMENTOver the course of the 20th century, American industry — with the government's blessing — found thousands of uses for this miraculous mineral.Woven into a cloth, it was used to insulate electrical wires. Mixed with a binder, it made a fireproof insulation for pipes and ducts. Mixed with cement, it made a host of practically indestructible Read More... |

| | JM | News Item | I was excited to listen to another Aussie R&B singer doing well... until I heard her album.Felicia Alima's album Know Me, features mostly boring music coupled with a vocal style that sounds like a direct rip off of Ciara. It is very hard to take this album seriously. In fact, her opening song Know Me starts exactly the same way lyrically as Ciara’s massive single “, 2, Step. I wouldn’t say the album is completely awful. I mean, I did find one track that I dug. The fourth track on the album I’m Down is an acoustic guitar inspired bouncy club-friendly joint featuring rapper Phoenix. Unfortunately, two tracks later she rips off Prince’s classic When Doves Cry for the flow of the song.For the rest of this review check out: http://www.planeturban.com.au/album_reviews/album_felicia_alima_know_me Read More... |

| | http://worldmusiccentral.org | Syndicated | Najma Akhtar & Gary Lucas Rishte (World Village, 2009) It’s not every day I get to listen to an American blues-Indian Classical music fusion recording. I have heard my share of jazz Indian fusion recordings, but “Rishte” by classical Indian vocalist Najma Akhtar and American guitarist Gary Lucas (Captain Beefheart, Jeff Buckley) happens to be a first for my ears. And it has taken a few listens before the music actually sunk in. First I would like to say that I was impressed with Najma Akhtar’s short biographical notes found in the CD booklet. “In October of 2005, while visiting relatives in India and Pakistan, Najma was caught in the South Asian earthquake. Thankfully, she and her family were safe, but she was surrounded by devastation. Instead of returning home to London, Najma became a caring humanitarian, a role similar to one she took years before in Bosnia…” Besides her humanitarian efforts, Akhtar also possesses an incredible vocal talent t Read More... |

| | Humpty Records New Releases | Syndicated | The brothers are back and present their latest wax on Connaisseur, and, as we think, the best they have ever made. Three true Plasmik cuts, timeless grooves between deep house and techno with a strong US american twist. Real Connaisseur music. Night Bell is a rather trippin track, dominated by a psychic wobbling bell theme. Its oldschool feel becomes intensified by a subtle, almost disco like melody, which creeps up like fog, unexpected and appearing from nowhere. Sneaky Dee is not only one of Marcel's favorite bars he visited regularly while he lived in Toronto, it is also a brilliant deep house tune with a slightly techy touch and a sticky theme. Red Tension is a pure beauty. Acoustic instruments appear sporadically and guide you through a wonderfully laidback sound universe. Definitely the track with the strongest musical approach. http://www.humpty.de?id=47&aid=22413&lang=en Read More... |
