Fiercely Me

4 Records + 1 listen all the way through+ 1 initial reaction= #1 cool music blog in the whole world! 1 vacation day on a sunny island – Not really worth the effort. 2 vacation days on a sunny island – Ok, but what else you got? 3 vacation days on a sunny island – This is more like it. But you know I still want more. 4 vacation days on a sunny island – Party time! 5 vacation days on a sunny island – YES! Instant classic! Bobby Long “A Winter Tale” 3 vacation days on a sunny island. A good listen but it won’t be your favorite. This guy is classic rock without the waiting to become a classic. His voice sounds like a combination of Cat Stevens and the lead singer of 3 Doors Down. Considering I really don't like either of those two singers I’m a little surprised that I like this record. There is plenty of acoustic guitar and not many clichés at all. Just some good Americana style rock which is another surprise since Bobby is British. Highlights: “In the Frost” and “Two Ye

If you are not familiar with my reviews I listen to each record usually only one time. I stream them over the fabulous Al Gore invention called the Internet. I try to pay close attention to the music but it if it doesn’t hold my attention it becomes background music and I get grumpy. I also give the band a low rating if that happens because I’m angry with them for failing to give me the proper mental escape from my tedious work. 1 original margarita on the rocks – Meh 2 original margaritas on the rocks – Ok 3 original margaritas on the rocks – Got me buzzing. 4 original margaritas on the rocks – Party time! 5 original margaritas on the rocks – So good you probably shouldn’t drive home! The Decemberists “The King Is Dead” 4 original margaritas on the rocks. Familiar but tasty! What do you get when you mix a little classic Neil Young, with Peter Buck’s guitar, and some Gillian Welch vocals? No it’s not a new project from Robert Plant! It’s the new Decemberist’s record!

All records are streamed over my work computer while I’m working away at office-related stuff. Reviews are either a first or possibly 2nd impression with not much thought put into grammar and all that stuff. 0 cool stuff. Really? They spent time in the studio for this??? 1 cool stuff. Not good enough. 1 is the loneliest stuff. 2 cool stuff. Better but I’m not sure this release is worth much more than one passing listen and stuff. 3 cool stuff. Now there is some cool stuff in here. Possibly worth a download. Not sure about a legal one though. 4 cool stuff. That’s alotta good stuff! You want this record and stuff. 5 cool stuff. This is not just a record. It is the soundtrack to a long and happy life and stuff!! Mew “Eggs Are Funny” 3 cool stuff. The way this one is built it just might spill good stuff on you. I have never heard this band before. They are described as a Danish alternative music band. I just can’t get over the fact that the lead singer sounds a lot like t
