Whitney Matheson over at USAToday.com’s Pop Candy blog is bustling with pop culture information and funny (or “icky”) links to a plethora of tidbits for our generation.  She blurbs about Pretty in Pink, Burning Man, and and Audioslave, and that’s just in one day.

 I emailed her yesterday to express my sentiments about her blog, mainly that I’m not a usual reader of USAToday, but her blog kept catching my eye.  I received her automated response along with, (wait for it……………) an actual response from Whitney.  See,  big bloggers do have time to respond to emails from their readers, even if she is a total blogebrity. 

 

 

With Midnight Syndicate, their lushly smooth sounding flow mystifies you and leaves you wanting more. More is fulfilled with track after track of musical gloominess. This is a highly recommended buy and well worth it. With “Family Secrets” as their first track on their Myspace page, you can witness greatness in this lull of musical composition and dreariness.  This band should be considered for any horror flick musical score.

To sum it up: 5 Stars
Pure classical melancholy.

I was introduced to Cradle of Filth via the video for “Nymphetamine”. With Dani Filth’s vocal talent and the band’s creative genius, CoF has become a household name in the US, the goth households, that is. Cited via their myspace page as “a dark source of inspiration and a beacon of creative light”, CoF remains at the top of playlists everywhere. With a new album on the prowl, here’s hoping they come to Cleveland.

We gave this masterpiece of evil and sadistic talent: 5 stars
- it doesn’t get any better than this.

With it’s mix of electronica, weird beats, and spoken word nonsense, our first victim is Dirty Sanchez. The lyrics sound as if they were thought up by a seven-year-old child.Via their Myspace page:

By now you must have heard of Dirty Sanchez and if you haven’t you’re about to. They’ve been wowing audiences for the past few years with
their crazy blend of electro rock and over the top performances. The
shows are full of energy, costume changes and props, super charged
songs, and an amazing stage presence. They’ve played alongside greats
such as Miss Kittin, Fannypack, Boy George, Nina Hagen and The Hacker.

What’s left to the imagination? How about, how on earth they got 430k total plays?!?

Per Wikipedia, a “dirty sanchez” is defined as follows:

It is performed by sticking one’s finger (or other object) in one partner’s rectum and then swiping a line of feces under the nose, making a “moustache” that looks Hispanic, hence “Sanchez”.

I think the same can be said for this music, just don’t ‘swipe’ it near my ears. Total crap.

Verdict: They owe us stars.

This music blog is dedicated to pointing out some of the best and the worst music in the online music community. Why not feed your brain with only the best music out there and find out what to avoid like the plague…?

I am a product of the 80′s hair metal scene, so you may find that creeping into my writing from time to time. Interviews are on the way, as well as other tidbits and goodies.

Sometimes, I’ll post lyrics, for your viewing pleasure. If I’m incorrect, it’s easy just to send me an email. If I stand corrected, I will correct the lyrics and give you a hat tip.

I review mostly online music (ie: myspace, etc), but will do a cd review here and there. It’s all about the music here, folks. Enjoy.
