Trying something new here with this Flash widget. Hopefully it will display on the blog properly.

I normally have my alarm set to radio mode because I find it's more conducive to waking up in the morning. Nothing will get me back to sleep faster than an annoying buzzer (that is 'snooze'd as soon as possible). Lately, I've had my radio set to KEXP mostly because I hate waking up to a commercial (worse than a buzzer) and KEXP is public radio. Plus the music isn't too bad either.

Firewater grabbed my attention as I got out of bed earlier this week. They combine the infections enthusiasm of the Squirrel Nut Zippers with the salty vocals of a coarse bar band. The whole album should be available for listening in the Flash widget above. 'Borneo' is a standout but there's some other gems in there as well.]]> Music http://www.dualsuns.com/blog/index.php?itemid=88 Sun, 20 Apr 2008 14:32:26 -0900 http://www.dualsuns.com/blog/index.php?itemid=86 Site http://www.dualsuns.com/blog/index.php?itemid=86 Sun, 13 Apr 2008 21:15:42 -0900 http://www.dualsuns.com/blog/index.php?itemid=84 Site http://www.dualsuns.com/blog/index.php?itemid=84 Wed, 20 Feb 2008 21:42:01 -1000 http://www.dualsuns.com/blog/index.php?itemid=82 =[

Today. I'm posting about a band called Seawolf. I use the word 'band' loosely because I believe it's just one guy who does all of the heavy lifting. You can pop on over to their site for free downloads of a couple songs. 'You're a Wolf' is simple but effective while 'The Garden That You Planted' is melancholy and bittersweet. ]]> Music http://www.dualsuns.com/blog/index.php?itemid=81 Tue, 18 Sep 2007 13:59:36 -0900 http://www.dualsuns.com/blog/index.php?itemid=80

Four years ago, he put out a small EP called Four Songs with, you guessed it, four songs. One of those songs, Orange Sky was featured on several soundtracks and TV shows including Garden State, Prison Break, House (basically lots of FOX shows).

All through that time he was developing a full-length CD. It took so long because he decided to make his own label, partially so he could retain all of the licensing rights. Perhaps he got the raw end of a deal on the EP...? Anyway, in June his new CD Time Without Consequence was finally released.

You can listen to some full length tracks (including a new version of Orange Sky at his Myspace page or at this site.]]> Music http://www.dualsuns.com/blog/index.php?itemid=78 Fri, 8 Sep 2006 18:35:40 -0900
