Song of the Day - "Love and Violence" - Third Tme Luckie

Riveting percussion, the sweet kick of the drum sets the tone for this bass wrecked, guitar driven track . "Love and Violence" feels carefully crafted yet stealthily arranged. The track puts the punchy bass to good use to keep up with the driving drums. "Just a whisper away with another round of hollow apologies... Won't you please come back to me" Wavy vocals under the crush of deftly wound guitar. "Heard it all before" The guitar continues to sting.

Third Time Lucky is a 3 piece post pop punk band hailing from the South of England. TTL consists of Chris guitarist/vocals, Andy bassist/vocals, and DJ. Carl the drummer. The name emanates from learning from one's mistakes. I relate.

They comfortably melt both genres with an even balance of elements of pop and punk. They are creating a vital sound. While they "Shut out the outside". Lyrics examine the dichotomy between amore and disdain The every reaching question mixing o love and contempt . A curious dissection of a relationship ready to implode or keep going. A private conversation between the only two that matter in their entanglement.

The bass cooks against a shot of electronica. Perhaps the masculine and feminine colliding. The emotional battle wages on. He sings " It's never been easy." Truthful love never is. The fierce drumming that shook us in now take us out.

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...
