The Rustic Overtones
On a whim recently, I just reminiscing about bands that I had liked in high school, I decided to look up the Rustic Overtones to play for my girlfriend and I found that not only had they reformed in 2007, but they had subsequently released two new albums. Epic fail on my part for not checking on them earlier. For mp3’s and a video, journey below the fold! (more…)

The Cure is a group I find myself returning to constantly, the sheer diversity of their catalog is enough to satiate any hunger for music that fits nearly any emotional category. I found myself looking up old interviews and watching live performances from various eras in The Cure’s history which resulted in me finding a picture of Robert Smith with his tongue out and I couldn’t resist making a cartoon out of it, since one of his nick names is “Fat Bob” and he has gotten chubbier over the years, but seriously, the man is a genius.

Moscow's Upstation
Moscow’s Upstation is the second Russian band that has been brought to my attention after Cheese People. Upstation is a bit less in your face and a bit more cohesive. They implement smooth funk-rock reminiscent of bands like the Van She, Cut Copy and others looking to the nostalgic synth-pad filled music of the 80’s for inspiration. Look out England and Australia, Russia has entered the game.
