Scott Alexander – Makes Friends – CD (Scott Alexander Music) I really had hoped this would be better. It has some great elements. Scott has a voice like Adam & His Package, is quirky and actually includes a bassoon on one track. Usually, I would call...

Ahn Trio – Lullaby for My Favorite Insomniac – CD (Sony Records) I’ve been listening to this disc fairly regularly since it arrived, but have had a hard time putting my words down. The Ahn Trio consists of three very talented Julliard trained sisters...

The Keith John Adams – Unclever – CD (HHBTM) This is a goofy little indie rock record that has catchy songs that stick in your head like wads of gooey cotton candy. The songs are very basic, but have loads of hooks and silly lyrics that sometimes make you...

A. Rex – Who Said I Was Running? – CD (A. Rex) The disc started off slow for me until it hit the third track “Don’t Let Me Get Away” which suddenly made me think of Paul Westerberg and later Replacements. The rest of this carried on in...

Connie Kis Anderson – Once Again – CD (Kismana Music) Connie is a female country singer. The songs really aren’t bad, but Connie’s voice isn’t overly strong. I can see her doing well in a local bar or festival, but not much more. The...

Analog America – A Four Course Meal of Found Sound – CD (Hollow Earth Radio) This is basically a disc of found recorded phone conversations, answering machine messages and a couple of songs. While I love the concept on found art, I think the presentation...
