Bastille – Bad Blood – CD (Virgin Records) Like many others I became aware of Bastille due to their infectious hit “Pompeii” with its great driving rhythm, haunting vocal lines and unique instrumentation structure. As I dug deeper into this indie electronic...

Bellerouche – Best of Bellerouche – CD (Tru Thoughts) Bellerouche is an artist who came into my sphere of notice when I caught the electro-swing bug early this year. This best of collection is a great introduction to the trip-hop / soul / electro swing of...

Birdwatchers of America – There Have Been Sightings – CD (Raise Giant Frogs Records) Taking full advantage of their name they inject sound clips regarding birdwatching between tracks. The music isn’t bad, just some good straight ahead rock with a bit...

Black Cat Music – This is the New Romance – CD (Cheetah’s Records) Wine In A Box, hypnotizes the listener into a thick drug induced haze and paints the scenery with dyed black hair, dexedrine, and a faint stench of patchouli. I fell into deep...

Bela – ‘Til Summer Ends – CD (Mother West) I’ve been listening to this CD for hours on end trying to figure out who they remind me of and it just hit me. They are a way mellower The Dream Academy. Remember the band that did that song Life in a...

Bobby Bland – The Best of Bobby Bland – CD (MCA / Universal Records) Mr. T. sezs, “I pity the fool who doesn’t listen to the Bobby Bland millennium collection. That’s right, I was the first to dub Bobby as “the lion of the blues” for his fierce, powerful...

Big Bubba – Big Bubba – CD (Smart Ass Records) The only way to truly enjoy Big Bubba is with a Billy Beer, pork grinds, and an old issue of “Mad” magazine. Big Bubba’s music is loud, fast and sloppy. Lots of cussing kiddies for the extra...

Blue Man Group – Audio – CD (Virgin Records) I remember seeing the Blue Man Group on television in the early ‘90s. From what I remember, three bald and blue characters entered a stage with metal oil barrels strapped to their feet and did a percussive...

Blue Taxi – Ridin’ Shotgun – CD (Mudpuppie Records) I gotta admit that I have a weakness for good blues. The kind you’d hear in a little, out-of-the-way club on a cross-country trip. The kind that nameless bands play for nameless audiences....
