5 Great Artists on MySpace Music That You Haven’t Heard
Wednesday, February 6th, 2008Over the past few months I have discovered a some damn good music on MySpace. Today, I want to share five of my favorite discoveries with you.
If you are wondering how I picked them I can only say there is no rhyme or reason, no new or old, and no discretion concerning Indie or mainstream. No real boundaries at all. These are just a bunch of songs that I heard that caught my attention. Check them out. (more…)

Nano Review 001 - 3 Artists To Help Your Summer Swing
Friday, May 11th, 2007From time to time I am going to offer up some music that makes me, for one reason or another, all bubbly inside. I will call these periodical offerings the True Goat Music series.
Basically, I just wanted to do my part to help you feed your music player with a steady toe-tapping, groove healthy diet. Also, staying true to the Musicgoat mantra, I will be recommending old and new music from genres and styles all over the map.
Here you go…over the last month or so these are a few artists that have made my spring in Minnesota the beez kneez. Read below and see if you anything fits.
Donovan Frankenreiter - Move By Yourself - I saw a write up on him on iTunes last spring and I remembered his name from when I saw him open for Jack Johnson on the “On and On” tour. I picked this album up and it didn’t leave my cd player for at least a month.
Outside of his original acoustic sound he has a serious 70’s style groove going on all over this this album. When listening to this album you get the feeling that Donovan is a pretty laid back guy, someone who is taking life in stride by stride. He will translates that feeling to you flawlessly since many of the songs are perfect 10’s on the infectious scale. With the grooves and attitude gushing out of Donavan you can’t help but get the feeling that he doesn’t have any problem getting laid.
Favorite song is Fool. Straight blues baby. This album is best served with a lot of sunshine and a hacky sac (cocktails optional).
Matisyahu - Live At Stubbs - If you like your music with a bit of reggae, a dash of hip hop, and spiritual overtones for some unlikely inspiration, than you will dig this.
Check out “Chop ‘em Down” and be careful, this song is sticky. My 4 year old song was walking around the house for days humming this. Note to beatbox fans everywhere, you have to check out his song entitled “Beatbox.” The things the guy can do with a mouth and mic.
Coolest part about this album you get it as a free music download, right now, at a site called eMusic
. Serve with good friends and a nice relaxed outdoor setting.
Van Halen - Fair Warning - I don’t mention them because they are back in the news but because they are just damn good. The album you never hear about flat out rocks from start to finish.
You might have to be a guitar player to truly appreciate some of what I think is Eddies best work, if not take my word for it. Meanstreet and Hear About it Later both rule. Unchained and So This is Love will put you in the mood to party. If your not cruising around in your car on a sunny day serve with cold beer, some buddies and and some good looking women.
That does it for this addition of True Goat Music. Grab some new music from the artist above and put them into heavy summer rotation. You won’t regret it.
