I've been fishing through myspace.com the last few days, you should all add my promotions agency as a friend if you read this. Http://www.myspace.com/fnmusic. Well as usual I'll go through my findings, fun times.

Tracy Bonham (http://www.tracy-bonham.com/) - I've really been into female singer/songwriters latley, mainly piano driven ones such Regina Spektor and Tori Amos. Tracy Bonham is more guitar driven like Cheryl Crow, I think it's pretty good.

S1 (http://www.myspace.com/s1) - I'm a big hip-hop fan, I'm mostly into more oldschool type stuff and into a lot of stuff on rhymesayers, saying that I do not like S1. S1 is that overproduced R&B rap that saturates mainstream television and is just overly lacking in substance, icky poo poo.

The Stairs (http://www.thestairs.com/) - This is very awesome indie rock, with very retro production, I want to compare them to the beatles but I think that's not the comparison I'm looking for. Though the Stairs rock so listen!

Veda (http://www.weareveda.com/) - Female fronted indie rock, sounds like how Tsunami Bomb Would sound like if they traded in their moshing shoes for a collection of Muse Albums.

Lyfe Jennings (http://www.2lyfe.com/) - This is pretty much R&B though it saids hip hop, though I believed R&B died with Marvin Gaye, tis isn't half bad, not overly produced not trying to be flashy. Not my type of things, but definetly a step in the right direction for genres that been a little lacking latley for the exception of John Legend who's amazing.
