" Are you sick of always reading reviews of the same bands at the newsstand? There is so much music out there, oftentimes we find ourselves simply perched at the tip of the iceberg. Here is your pick-axe. Break through to the other 90% of the music realm..." |

- 12:27 a.m. My hopes for this site is to share reviews on different albums that I have discovered either recently or ones that have made an impact on me in some way. I am always open to suggestions of other bands as I am continually on the hunt for something new and exciting. Most of the reviews I will share with you will probably be fairly long, but I will also occasionally write something more short. One of the facets of this site I am going to introduce tonight is the "Pu Pu Platters." Though this concept is far from being original, it gives me a chance to share some musical suggestions based on what I am listening to at the time. The reviews are much more concise, usually consisting of just a sentence or so. Well, now for the first edition of the "Pu Pu Platters." Remember if you have any comments about the music that I write about or have suggestions for me, feel free to either post on my message board or email me. I would love to hear your feedback. Thanks! **** PU PU PLATTERS #1 1) Broadcast: "The Noise Made By People" 60's inspired pop with a hint of Portishead thrown in for good measure. Eerie female vocals and catchy melodies make this one a must have. 2) Mellow: "Another Mellow Spring" Dubbed as "a cross between Syd Barrett, Nick Drake, and the Beatles," this French pop band is also reminiscent of Air with electronic elegance and seductive tunes. 3) The Beta Band: "Three E.P.s" A collection of 3 out of print import releases showcasing the depth of sound of this outfit. With echoes of Lou Barlow and Elephant 6 sensibilities, this is sure to get under your skin. 4) "SurfBeat Behind The Iron Curtain, Volume 2" A stunning compilation of tracks recorded behind the Iron Curtain back in 1963-1967. With bands from Russia, the GDR, Hungary, Romania, and more, its clear that more than the Democratic West knew how to rock. 5) The Zombies: "Odessey and Oracle" Probably most known for its hit "Time of the Season," this final album of Brit popsters The Zombies is a sheer masterpiece. Right up there with Pet Sounds and later-era Beatles, you can hear its wide influence in the music that followed.
