One thing that’s really cool about Myspace, is it allows silly citizens (proles) who know nothing about computers, to have a website that has a ‘blog’ (I say ‘blog’ because in my opinion, it’s not a blog unless it has a RSS feed – Livejournal has a very easy to grab RSS feed for users)

The other thing it’s good for is promotion; specifically: band promotion. It excels where even official band websites fail, in that you can stream complete songs and singles from bands. So, Miss Dawn Brown requested that I recommend some tunes. I’m recommending this following, but bear in mind, I’m cutting out all the ‘industrial’ stuff, otherwise the list would be far bigger (and better IMHO.) but, I’m catering to what I think some of you stonethorn.com followers will enjoy.

So, click on the links and in the upper right will be a ‘music player’, usually there are 4 songs to choose from. I’ve listed the singles and ones I like best in () below.

Have fun!

Conjure One (Extraordinary Way) Vocals by Poe with music by the man behind Front Line Assembly. The following track has him on vocals for the first time ever. Pretty good.
The Birthday Massacre The big single off this is (Blue), but I feel (Violet) is far superior, mostly because it doesn’t feel like such a knock off of the faux-gothic-rock band Evanescence.
The Lovemakers (Prepare for The Fight) Very Duran Durany. (Shake That Ass) is very 70s in a exploitive way.
Depeche Mode (Precious) here’s the new single. It’s ok, but the Motor Remix, which isn’t there for listening – go buy the CDM – is just awesome!
Xlover Everything here is great, I can’t recommend this one enough! BUY IT.
Ricodid the production on the Gary Numan remix album Hybrid and did an awesome job, his solo material is equally great. Trip-hoppy with some more jungle aspects in there.
Sohodolls If you like the electroclash stuff, here’s a good addition. The girls of Client signed these girls and I AM X to their label.
I AM X All these tracks are great, with the exception of Kiss + Swallow… it’s just fair. But the other three, aww yea. Good stuff! BUY IT!
Mindless Self Indulgence This is just _plain_ _fun_. Crazy tempo changes and crazy vocals. Fun Fun Fun.!!
Scarling I’m throwing this on here for a change of pace, I’m not to happy with this commercial release album really, but I know a few who will be.
