TweetShare It might seem odd that LBYB is just now doing an introducing piece on Alex Winston, but it’s long overdue.   So, may I formally introduce Alex Winston. At first glance, you might be surprised to hear that Alex Winston is classically trained in opera, but after listening to a few of her songs, it [...]

TweetShare When you open your EP with a downright party rock ‘n’ roll song, the likes of which haven’t been seen since The D4, and then mosey on into an MGMT-esque electronic, part slow-jam, part Christmas tune, then before the third song even starts you’re gonna leave your listeners wondering what the fuck to expect [...]

TweetShare When it comes to music the only borders are those manufactured in your mind, a line you won’t cross because it’s “not cool” or because it doesn’t fit in with your lifestyle or resides just outside your comfort zone…..maybe in somewhere like Milwaukee.  I say fuck that.  If you like it, then who cares [...]

TweetShare I think I’ve said it at least 189 times already this year, but the Hip-Hop that I’ve been sent has been nothing short of inspiring, and yup, you guessed it, here’s another one to add to that list. CL Sosa’s brand of Hip-Hop blends the atmospheric tones of Trip-Hoppers Portishead with the dark and [...]

TweetShare I might complain about the amount of shite that gets sent to me, but I do equally gush when something magical turns up in my inbox, as I’m sure you know already if you’ve been reading this for more than a week. Nick, the dude in charge of Bravestation sent me their music almost [...]

TweetShare New Interpol can never be a bad thing, can it?  Even without Carlos D? Well actually this song was done before the D’ster quit the band, so it is technically from the Interpol of old.  They released “Lights” back in April and that one DID have Carlos D, as well as every other song [...]

TweetShare An entire album being given away as a free download?  Those can be hard to come by these days, you might think that if someone is giving away an entire album they spent time recording, it must be pretty bad.  The digital equivalent of a second-hand shop and their bargain bins, you might think. [...]

TweetShare If you’ve been reading the site for for any amount of time then you might’ve seen me mention The Delta Mirror on a few occasions, and on one of those occasions posting a few of their songs and a video.  Well that was back in April and their album “Machines That Listen” is still [...]

TweetShare What was your previous line of employment?  For me, I was a dishwasher.  When I moved to the states I had the pleasure of dealing with the INS and their ineptitude, so I wasn’t able to work for almost a year until I got my green card.  When I did get the card I took the [...]

TweetShare This is by no means new, having been released almost three months ago but I’m just getting into the band I thought it fitting to share my discovery with all six of you. Not to be confused with the Welsh mountain (spelled Snowdon), Snowden are named after Catch-22 character Howard Snowden and comprised of Jordan Jeffares, Chandler Rentz, Corinne [...]

TweetShare Read a review of The Delta Mirror’s debut album “Machines That Listen” and ten times out of ten you’ll read about each of these nine songs taking place in nine different rooms of a hospital.  It’s true, they do, but it seems to be the focus of many-a-blog and the music escapes their insight.
