Get out your Mamboing Shoes boys and girls! It's that time of the week again.
This week it's all about "New Music!" So why don't we get warmed up with a little bit of "I say...You think..."
Release: "Please release me, let me go..." Tuesday: Tuesday Afternoon - The Moody Blues Sounds: The Sound OF Silence - Simon and Garfunkel Disc: Compact disc Radio: Pathetic DJs and their lame attempts to be funny. Store: National Record Mart. Oh, how I miss that store! Tape: Cassette tapes, the only thing that can be played on my car stereo without an adapter. Mix: "It's all in the mix." I've been watching too many Twix commercials.
Ok, now that we are all warmed up, are you ready to Mambo? If you are, come on and shake your groove thang!
1. What's your favorite way to discover new music? I'm on the mailing lists of my favorite bands, so that is how I find out about their new material. For other new material, I tend to be influenced by what others who share my musical tastes reccommend. I don't put much stock in radio stations or video music channels for finding new music. They are more about money than music these days.
2. Do videos influence whether or not you buy a cd? Of course they do! That's why they make 'em.
3. What was the last CD you purchased? That would be the American release of The Scorpions' Unbreakable.
4. Tell us about a band you recently discovered. I bought Nickelback's Silver Side Up because Matthias Jabs said in an interview that they were a good new band. He was right. They have now been added to my list of favorites.
5. And lastly...answer the musical question: Did Video Kill The Radio Star? In a word, yes! You don't think that the Britneys and Christinas of the music world are selling albums because of their great musical talent, do you?
