Video of the Day - Cola Bottle Fizz Come join this sweet soiree.




Every once in a while a group comes a long that not  only knows exactly what they are doing, but also is found mid execution. UK’s Superbird appears to be one of these bands. Consisting of Joe Fin (Guitar), Alex Ash (Drums) and Freddy Sidero (Bass), all of whom share vocal duties, Superbird coalesces into a great funky pop trio with a sound tapped right from the veins of Prince and Bowie.
 The fun loving attitude of the band compliments their flamboyant and feathered image. In the color drenched peacock of a video for their song “Cola Bottle Fizz,” they let you know they are here to glam it up with a grain of salt or sugar in this case. This rocking little baby reads as an ode to pleasure which compares the object of affection to teeth rotting sweets. Joe Fin's slinky guitar work glistens over the groove laid down by Freddy Sidero (this song in particular contains some very cool bass action). Alex’s drums keep the beat up and moving. The band dances around colorful rooms singing phrases like “Strawberry I’m whipped/creamin’ my bon-bombshell” and “Your popping candies makes my eyes dilate.” I also particularly dig “You’re naughty ways keep me craving more, You’re clothes look better on the floor, baby.” Oh Marcy remember “Sex and Candy”. The song has a similar can’t get this out of my head factor. It rips definite groove that sticks in your brain like a Jolly Rancher in the gap slight gap between you back teeth.
 There’s a big helping of humor to go with the good music. They are undoubtedly having a great time, and it’s just as apparent that they are as talented on their instruments as they are at reveling. Check out “Cola Bottle Fizz” and their other videos for more of Superbird’s fun, funky music!
For an added bonus, an acoustic version is included. Watch Joe take his Strat to task with a popping yellow pick. Alex lifts your spirits with his stellar rich frosted bare bones style playing.  The double dose of guitar playing is only enhanced by the double dip of their voices combining easy like a chocolate shake with a cherry on top. Shake it up like cherry pop.

Song of the day - "Turbulence" - Archpalatine

"Turbulence"  Starts with his utilizing his voice as an instrument along with his nimble fingers taking care of the keys. The low rush of background singers whispering “Palatine” sneaks in as he continues to resonate. As his  voice hits its crescendo the pop of the drums whips in a surprise. The deft use of the kit rushes in, quick and edgy.   The song rolls on with dramatic flair while his voice ascends "We will take the chance to fly away" He plays his vocals again as he sings Taaaturbulence then the gust of the drum takes over like a strong supporting character. A song rich in drama and operatic elements, comparisons to Queen are fair. And again the drumming continues stellar.  Listening to this song is like being enveloped in a short play. I can imagine the majestic costumes and sweeping set design. Also I see color when I listen to “Turbulence”; scarlet, rich gold and shades of charcoal much like the picture I just posted. Interestingly I...

Other Music Documentary

Other Music Documentary Other Music, famously located on 4th Street with a view of Tower Records before it folded,was a destination stop for me. The small shop was neatly packed & stacked with the latest & the greatest vinyl records & CDs. This thoughtful, well crafted documentary truly depicts what it was like to be a guest at Other Music. Puloma Basu & Richard Hatch - Miller  clearly took their time to interview the owners, past staff members & the artists who got their start at OM.   Walking into OM always gave me a happy tingle. Watching this documentary evokes a similar feeling. It made me smile as if I was there pawing through the Big Star Category, the Latin flavored music & of course the latest releases. The scene with a composer clutching his hand written review card was priceless. Hearing one of the Berringer brother's bliss out about having a card at OM was a delight. He gushed "That meant the National was a 'real' ban...
