I’m black coffee, she’s sweet tea…
The other day I went hunting for free mp3′s and found Summer’s Gone by Jackopierce. I liked it so much I
went back and bought the CD, Promise of Summer.
Aside from the utter coolness of Jack O’Neill as a name, this is just a great band. (I am sure Cary Pierce is cool as well, just not SF geek cool)
Most tracks have kind of a folk/alt-rock sound. The music is mellow but not sleep inducing. My favorites are ‘Everything I’m Not’ and ‘Something Good’ but the album as a whole has a great sound.
I say buy the whole thing -
But if you need a test drive you can listen to several songs over on the Jackopierce myspace page, cnet.com or samples of all the songs on Amazon. You can d/l the mp3 album from Amazon or other online retailers.

High Water…
So I walked into my laundry room last Friday and there was water all over the floor but none of it was anywhere near the washer or the sink. This left the water heater which after calling Kahuna to come investigate (hey, it is a big metal tub full of water and wired to 220 – like I am going to touch it) he pronounced it rusted through. Three hundred or so dollars poorer, but with nice hot water I decided slow down my music buying spree and focus on free music for a little while.
I picked up several blues tracks over on Public Domain 4U including a fairly clear copy of Frisco Whistle Blues by Alabama bluesman Ed Bell.
At Free Music Downloads I snagged a nice jazzy blues track by Lana Martino-Smith called Crippled Heart Blues. Loved her voice and the guitar on the song is nice as well.
Finally I picked up several tracks from Amazon.com including Summer’s Gone by Jackopierce. Once the pain of the surprise water heater purchase wears off I am going to buy the entire CD, The Promise of Summer.

I have been trying to write the review for Blurred, by San Francisco singer/songwriter Alex Wise for a few months now but can’t seem to finish it. This is difficult for me to say but I get about halfway through the process and find myself so homesick I just can’t continue. The past few years have been full [...] - Arc & Stones…

Now that Scooter is back sleeping nights I proclaim this ’dig myself out from under the mountain of un-reviewed music‘ week. Kicking off the week o’reviewing is Arc & Stones, the debut EP from Brooklyn band Arc & Stones. The guys are Dan Pellarin (vocals), Ben Cramer (guitar), Joe Doino (drums) and Eddy Bayes (bass). I had [...] - Telegraph Taboo…

So, I was in the mood for some blues and whoosh – blues appeared. Other people get coupons, bills and news updates in the mail while I get blues music. Cool new blues music in the form of the debut release Telegraph Taboo from the Chicago-based band Nick and the Ovorols. This is not a pretty album. The vocals on a few tracks [...] -
