New Releases for Tuesday 9/12
The fifth year anniversary of 9/11 has come to a close and no matter how much I want to talk about it there is really nothing I can say. The events speak for themselves and I feel there is nothing that I can really say besides God Bless all the families and friends who have lost loved ones.Although 9/11/06 was a fairly somber day ending on what I feel was a very distasteful speech by our president Tuesday 9/12/06 will mark a great day for music. There are two releases that I am personally looking foward to. The one which I'm sure most of you can connect with is Bob Seger's first release in over a decade "Face the Promise" which is looking to be a very promising album recieving some very positive reviews from critics. The second of which I am extremely excited for is The Mars Volta's third full length album "Amputechture." The Mars Volta has certainly been one of the most promising bands in the past few years with their modern day progressive sound. Although The Volta lost what Lars Ulrich of Metallica called the best drummer around I have no doubt that this new release will be a fantastic one.
For those who would like to hear the first single off of Seger's "Face the Promise" called "Wait for Me" here are some links:

Wow thanks! I'll listen as soon as time permits. I didn't listen to the speech last night. I just couldn't do it.
Neo and I were talking the other night - we think you could easily be the next Cameron Crowe. I hope you find that to be a compliment, it's meant to be! You've got what it takes.
Layla - Well thank you for the compliment. I sure hope I can live up to those expectations one day.
I will add another one: Steve Hackett's brand new album Wild Orchids. I've only had one listen through so far, and that's enough to say that,like his last couple of "rock" albums, it's a modern prog tour de force.

Jeff - I watched the speech, and to be honest, that wasn't the time or place for him to talk about Iraq. But then again, what do you expect from him. He's so clueless it's not funny.
That Bob single sounded like classic Bob, it sounded a little bit country though. Good to see he's still jamming, I wonder if he'll follow it up with a tour.
Peace,
- Neo
Jeff, have you ever heard of a band called the Redwalls? If you haven't you need to look them up quickly they sound awesome(They sound like The Beatles and Bob Dylan put together). Let me know what you think of them.
Neo - Yeah, I was so angry when watching it. It was a time for rememberance, not war propaganda.
Josh - No I haven't, I've heard of a band called the Redwood Thieves who sound sort of like Dylan and Lennon but never the Redwalls. I'll definitely check them out. Thanks!
If you go to their website you can listen to their second album... Let me know what you think.... You can hear their first album was on Itunes it was released under an independent label. I'm telling you right now, that they are going to be huge.....
To hear some of their tracks go to this link and clink on music.

Josh - I just purchased their CD from what I heard I really liked it. I'll probably review it on my blog sometime in the near future I suppose once I've taken it in.
