Dean Madonia 1- No Tomorrow 2- American Love Song Very Prog-Rock feel to those two. Dean Madonia has led an interesting life, playing piano and guitar from a young age. His father was a musician, and I guess Dean had it in his blood, working in studios and playing wherever whenever he could. The saga of his album "Light Of Reason" getting lost in a studio move is an fascinating read on his website. To get links to his site and where to buy his CDs, please come to AudioPopcorn.net.

Formed nearly 15 years ago at Chico State in Northern California, The Mother Hips have seen it all, and there are already two documentaries about them-Stories We Could Tell and This Is The Sound-to prove it. They've gone from dorm band to buzz band to cult favorite; they've taken a truckload of drugs and then kicked their habits; they've played with everyone from Wilco to Johnny Cash. Back together for this new release in 2007, they exhibit their strengths as a cohesive band who enjoy playing together. "Kiss The Crystal Flake" is an extremely strong showing for a group who's been together for this long. http://www.motherhips.com/ :: http://www.myspace.com/themotherhips :: Red Tandy EP @ eMusic :: Kiss The Crystal Flake @ eMusic :: File Download (15:11 min / 13.9 MB)

Raised in Wichita and Kansas City, Greg began playing piano at age 5 and spent most of his formative years inside playing Beatles songs. After graduation, Greg moved to New York City. Sep. 11, 2001 was the catalyst for taking his keyboard to the subway and starting a career in music. After a short while playing and singing in the subway, Greg started to get work in many New York City piano bars including the Duplex, Rose's Turn and Brandy's. His repertoire as a piano bar player is unique in that it's focused on current pop-rock music, including alternative and harder rock. Greg started recording his own album in the fall of 2002, and —with the help of nearly 50 other musicians -- he finished the album two years later, around Christmas in 2004. All the tracks on the album, Rings in Spaces, were written and produced by Greg. He used a wide variety of excellent musicians including Meg Okura, Scott Selig, Dave Eggar, Vic Thrill, Eugene Lavenue and also drummer/programmer Gregg Williams. Steve Rossiter and Robbie Adams mixed the album.

the Republic of Heaven is the first full-length release from husband-and-wife dreampop band the Endless. After two widely successful EPs, 2002's “Grumpy Ghost” and 2003's “and i'm the queen of the moon”, the duo release their most sonically and emotionally complex work yet: a haunting blend of electronic and alternative rock, rich in imagery and hailing from the tradition of such musical innovators as Kate Bush, Poe, Tori Amos, Jane Siberry, and This Mortal Coil. Adriana and David Róze work as a symbiotic unit: lovers, band mates, best friends, and co-creators.

Brian Cook, Rebecca Scott, and a drum machine formed Panda Riot in late July of 2005, while working on the soundtrack to a short documentary on marine biology. The many underwater scenes and airplane shots of the film inspired a blissful, swirl-pop, sing-along sonar aesthetic that was so delightful, they made a band of it. Their music depends on a drum machine, blown-out guitar sounds, a keyboard plugged through a death metal pedal, and the whimsical wafts of Rebecca's breathy soprano. Panda Riot plays extensively in Philadelphia in New York City's East Village, and the band continually demos an ever expanding set of songs.

Rick left everything he knew about himself and his music to travel abroad. From awe-inspiring sights in Istanbul to quiet introspective days in Lisbon, the experience fuelled the creation of the songs, the band and ultimately the record. As Rick puts it – “The perspective I got from leaving gave me the drive to do what I always wanted to do. I was able to eliminate the bullshit and focus on what really matters.” Bravo to all of you, this album is fantastic!!
