ArtistoftheWeek:Tired Pony 3/21/11-3/28/11

Tired Pony is a band consisting of, musicians from bands like, Snow Patrol , REM, and Belle & Sebastian. The band is a supergroup formed by Gary Lightbody. (Lightbody likes to make supergroups...) He formed the band and made this album with the mindset of making a Country album, but by the end of production the style of Tired Pony became more Americana than Country. Their first single, Dead American Writers, is a intellegent and hauntingly beautiful song that focuses on the journeys of American Writers that have passed on. (Twain, Hughes, Thoreau etc.)

ArtistoftheWeek:Steve Kopandy7/27/10-8/2/10

I was two years late to find out about this artist. Especially his Double Disc release, Based On [Disc 1] A True Dream [Disc 2]. All I can say is that I love the songs from him because of the sound. His sound really reminds me of the 90s. The alternative sound with the Pop vocals. Involving nothing but a guitar and a piano. I love that. I just love 90's music and Steve Kopandy reminds me so much of it. He's one of the singers that are ahead of their time. Too bad he couldn't have released this album in 1997. One of his songs could've been a one-hit. Played on the radio by the now (extinct) Radio DJs and community stations.
Ahh, those were the days. Too young to remember them but I appreciate them. His Two-Disc album, Based On A True Dream, is a collection of 18-tracks reflecting songs from the adventures of the world. From Japan, Latin America, Europe, Canada, Australia, and the US.
