Word to the wise: if your Internet (or computer) is of the slower variety, let this vid load awhile before playing it. (VEVO is notoriously bulky.) But the picture quality is pretty good. Buy Feist’s “The Reminder” on Amazon

Feist–Just ‘Cause I Think It’s a Catchy Tune
So I Guess Now I’m a MOGger…or, MOG Blogger?
The Oomph was recently approved as part of the MOG Music Network. That’s right…The Oomph is now a “MOG Blog.” MOG has a growing community of awesome music bloggers, writing about all things music. Plus the MOG Site itself is now offering an “All-access” subscription, with unlimited streaming music. Worth checking out.
Bands I Want to Hear More From after Last Saturday
I’ve probably said this before (I’m not looking back in the posts to see if I have)…but I’m a lifetime student of music. I’m the kind of guy who listens intently to music, who prefers it in the foreground rather than the background. I’m also the more reflective type at concerts. I don’t do...
So It’s a Few Years Old…A Classic Is a Classic
I love Brandi Carlile’s voice in this song. I especially like the rawness of her voice in the last verse. Sometimes those imperfections reveal passion, and those are the best moments. The idea of having story in our lives is also a big theme with me right now. Buy “The Story” from Amazon

Where’d we see it last, and can we get it back
Just wrote about these guys, but I can’t get this song out of my head. Haunting melody, strong lyric. A song with heart. Just my opinion. This song made me a John Common & BFL fan. “Turnaround”: John Common & Blinding Flashes of Light
This is a supplementary post to my article on Examiner.com. Given the band name, the title of this post sounds a little ironic. Planning an attack with The Battleship Agenda? In the “war room” with The Battleship Agenda? Those sound a bit more apropos. But hanging with them? Doesn’t really fit. But when...
John Common and Blinding Flashes of Light
(This post is supplemental to my article on Examiner.com.) I admit I’m a bit of a skeptic. When I hear or see a lot of buildup or hype over something, I usually get a little put off, because too many times the “something” doesn’t measure up to the hype. I figure if you have...
Evolving: HighRaceVine Debuts at the D-Note
I’ve observed two schools of thought when it comes to band debuts. On one hand, several bands I’ve talked to deliberately refrained from “going public” until they had played together for months and maybe even made a record first. Then on the other side, there are bands who choose to evolve publicly, being willing to step out...

Denver local band The Heyday, a pop-rock band who was recently voted into the Hometown for the Holidays Top 3, is making their entire full length, self-titled album available to the public as a free download for the month of January. For more info about The Heyday, read my profile of the band on Examiner.com. The...
See, Maybe Now You’ll Believe Me
Check out this article from Westword: http://www.westword.com/2010-01-07/music/presenting-a-half-dozen-acts-worth-keeping-an-eye-on-in-2010/ I’ll cut to the chase: of the six Denver bands mentioned in this article, two of them I had picked two months ago as bands with promise. Snake Rattle Rattle Snake is one. The other, and the one I want to focus on at the moment, is...
