Well todays episode is the music equivalent to one of his creations, but, instead of fruits and vegetables, I used classic rock, crunk, downtempo, rap, indie pop, and a few others styles to make you one earlicious dose of music goodness.

Sunday, March 23rd, 2008It is almost impossible to keep up with all of the review requests I get. Most of the time I just take a quick listen to see if there is anything I can use in my podcast.

Music Review Plus: Nick Daugherty Learns A Lesson
Monday, July 23rd, 2007Do you have dreams? Better yet, do you have the balls to chase those dream? Well a guy Nick Daugherty did and I wanted pass his inspiring story on to you.
While listening to the Musicians Cooler podcast. I heard the host, Dave Jackson talk about this musician that decided it was time to become proactive in making his dream of getting a recording contract a reality. I had to investigate.
What I found was a year long journal of the trials and tribulations of aspiring musician Nick Daugherty. Nick decided, a little over a year ago, that he would begin seeking out a record deal and he gave himself a year to do it. This journal, found at Nick’s Journey, was a brilliant way for Nick to share his experiences with the world and, at the same time, keep himself accountable to his pursuit.
You can follow along with him as his proactive approach, belief in himself and an insatiable willingness to learn help all of the pieces for his dream fall into place. From the bits and pieces I’ve had the time to read, he was able to put together a band and assemble a network of trustworthy individuals to help him out.
Find out what he learned on his journey and whether or not he got his wish then be sure to check out his music.
The first song I checked out entitled “1000 Times Tonight” had me thinking “ladies… lookout!” I bet this song could melt just about any woman. Hell, under the right circumstances like a first date, anniversary, romantic surprise, etc you could really fan the flames with this tune. I just know there are love scenes everywhere just begging for a song like this.
Next up was “Can’t Say I Love You Anymore.” If you are going through a breakup, Nick offers up a remedy and some hope. I have been there myself, so trust me when I tell you it will ease your pain.
Finally, “Out Of My League” is as sincere as they come. A humble admission in the presence of complete admiration.
Overall, every song is offers up great lyrics, crisp acoustic guitar and haunting, heartfelt vocals! You’ll love his voice.
You can find these songs on Nick’s music page.
Whether you are a musician, music fan, entrepreneur or human being you will appreciate Nick Daugherty’s story. He is a musician who decided it was time to be proactive in the search for his dream. His story is inspiring and a great life lesson for us all. He reminds us all that dreams are not something that come looking for us but something we must actively seek out. Now go and see if he got that record deal.
Nano Music Review 002 - Come and Get and Some Acoustic, Jazz and Pop
Saturday, July 14th, 2007Requests for music reviews are coming in fast and furious. In an attempt to keep up with all the goat-worthy requests, and give you a nice selection of new cuts to check out, I am going to offer up what I call nano reviews.
These teasers will give you just enough information to get you started along the path to new music discovery. Here are a few Indie music artists that are worthy of your consideration:
John Batdorf (self described - acoustic, folk rock) Veteran of the 70’s scene. I’m a sucker for good acoustic guitar and John Batdorf easily satisfies. Solid! Check out “Home Again” and the don’t even think about missing the 70’s epic joyride “Batdorf Rodney Silver.” Check him out on MySpace too.
Blip Blop (self described - Down-tempo, Jazz, Nu-Jazz)
Not really sure what to say, it all just sounds pretty damn cool. Must be heard to be appreciated. There are a few tunes on their MySpace page but you’ll find a larger, better sounding collection on their KamakazeMusic.com page .
John Mullane (self described - pop, rock, electro)
His sound takes me back to my youth by having a classic 80’s radio written all over it. If that is your genre, his song “Desire” is sure to please. For a healthy shot of inspiration make sure you listen to “Go the Distance.” We could all benefit from this type of mindset. Great message. Oh, and make sure you check out his cover of Tainted Love (the crunchy guitar is a nice touch). Go check out this Canadian rocker now.
