MS MR – Secondhand Rapture – CD The dark brooding electronica sound drew me in and the soaring harmonies kept me deeply involved. MS MR are a great blend of sullen and sultry with rhythm and hooks to spare. The lyrics are another strong point with plenty of...

Malone, Michelle – Hello Out There – CD (SBS Records) This is music! “Caffeine and Catharsis” has a Dave Matthew’s feel, and the presence of Emily Saliers does give it an Indigo Girls mood at times. But well-written songs and strong...

Modern English – Life in the Gladhouse 1980-1984 – CD (Beggars Banquet / 4AD) The first thing I think of when I hear the name Modern English is their big hit “I Melt with You” and the movie Valley Girls which featured the song. Since I grew up in the ‘80s...

The Monkeywrench – Electric Children – CD (Estrus Records) Seattle punk veterans get together for round two of their psychedelic blues punk incarnation, The Monkeywrench. This offering is a little more psych than the last record but personally I like it...

Medicine Drum-Supernature – CD (Cyber Octave) I love music that has a mystical feel about it. I also love the inspirational playing of hand drums. This release combines the two with synth to produce an infectious dance groove. Think of the soundtrack to Baraka...

Bob Marley & The Wailers – Rastaman Vibration – CD (Universal Music) The Rastaman Vibration CD is a bit on the mellow end of the spectrum as compared to the other Bob Marley releases. None of the tunes really stood out that much, still it’s a nice CD...

Mother Superior – Mother Superior – CD (Triple X Records) What I find amazing about this release is that Henry Rollins produced it and it’s on Triple X records. This sounds like one of the hard rock bar bands from the late ‘80s. What’s the world coming to?...

Samantha Mumba – Gotta Tell You – CD (Interscope) Yes this is a pop album. So what I’m a sucker for well done pop. I think the title track is a great danceable pop song. The second track “Body II Body” is pretty interesting with it’s sample of David...

Moral Crux – The Side Effects of Thinking – CD (Panic Button) I am officially nominating Moral Crux as the “Best Band in Ephrata WA.” A highly coveted honor as some of you might know. All kidding aside, these guys are semi-local and play here...

Man of the Year – The Future is Not Now – CD (Loveless Records) A lovely pop sound with just a touch of synth. The vocals interchange between the two lead male vocals, which sounds hauntingly similar to the old Dayton band Glee & Beek (David Poe &...

Bob Marley & The Wailers – Burnin’ – CD (Universal Music) Burning has the classics “Get Up, Stand Up”, “I Shot the Sheriff”, plus three bonus tracks. I’ve played this release sooo many times now getting into the groove. As a side note, Peter...
