Retrogressions

Ah...the power of the word...



A friend just turned me on to these guys...based in San Francisco, From Momument to Masses challenge you to listen (from their site):

"From Monument to Masses is complex and hypnotic post-punk engineered to act as a revolutionary cultural force in service of the People. The band, the sampled sounds, and the music itself call for international Peoples' histories to be revisited and for any provoked indignation to be acted upon.

Highly influenced by the likes of Fugazi to Tortoise, Afrika Bambata to DJ Shadow, Don Caballero to Godspeed You Black Emperor, FMTM challenges the audience with epic compositions that abandon conventional song structure. Listen, question, act, repeat. "



What's that you say? Don't worry...they rock...

From Momument To Masses - To Z (Repeat)

From From Munment To Masses - Comrades & Friends

From Monument To Masses - Clinical (Live)



Oh, they've got a myspace page as well (What you don't have one? What's wrong with you?)

I can't understand a thing you said

So, part of me just doesn't want to like this song...but it's so damn catchy and infectious, how can you not?

Andrew Thompson - There Must Be Some Kind of Misunderstanding (music video)

Who is this guy?



Where does he come from?

"Armed with a DMX drum machine, a kazoo, a Wurlitzer, some junky synthesizers, tubas, trombones, a robot, and a broke-ass piano, Mr. Thompson sings tales of the absurd and the everyday. Oh yeah - and the boy can sing.

The Brooklyn resident has a background in Jazz vocals and corporate entertainment. In fact he won the Jazz Vocal M.V.P. award at Boston's prestigious Berklee School of Music and went on to sing in high-class restaurants, stuffy hotels and big name corporate functions. " - Lewis Recordings

Andrew Thompson - Cock-A-Doodle-Doo

My God? What is going on in his head? Why do I like this? I CAN'T EXPLAIN!!!!

Andrew Thompson - Don't Get Down
Andrew Thompson - The Coast Is Clear

Is it the combination of Elvis Costello beaten up by Squeeze that's winning me over? I don't know.

Love him! Now! I command you! Here's the direct link to his SUPER-INFORMATION HIGHWAY!


And you can get it all at itunes, no less! And Insound!
