Arrowheads & Seashells.
hey there. i figure, every monday, i'm going to do the album review thing, throughout the week i'll post three random albums/compilations & have a mixtape on friday! a nice formula? let me know. today i have something special! a single from The Ice Creams.
i recently got to download their single off of MySpace, i fell in love instantly. it's my brand of music, in it's own way, it sort of defines me. the defining track on the single is Wings, it's my personal favorite. click their name to get info on their other projects, as this is a side project of The Humms, who i also am enjoying. make sure to pay attention to these boys, they'll blow your mind! :D
Bonus Drippers - Black Moth Super Rainbow
Have Guitar Will Travel - Bo Diddley

A Cat Playing The Fiddle.
Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust & the Spiders From Mars - David Bowie
i've heard a lot of fuss about this album & i certainly do not know why, but i intend to find out.
after listening to it, i wouldn't say it's my new favorite album but it's good.
i got bored of it for a bit, but that's me, i have the attention span of a worm.
i feel that this album starts out slow & boring but picks up towards the end and brings it home.
all in all i give it a 7 out of 10.
the tracks to listen to are: Soul Love, Moonage Dream, Starman, Star, Hang Onto Yourself, Ziggy Stardust, Suffragette City & Rock 'N Roll Suicide.
also for today i have the Street Fighter II Turbo Soundtrack & a mix of dance music from the 80's except for Madonna's song Music, which i have no fucking clue how it slipped in there. haha. enjoy.
