Dragon Ash is Japan's best answer to music....Rolling old school with a fresh mix that combines the legacies of Beastie Boys, Zach de la Rocha, Cypress Hill and their own funk; this band simply kicks some serious ass.
Deep Impact is one of my ultimate and most favorite songs...

Ofra Haza & Lisa Gerrard Leave me Breathless..
These two women leave me breathless...
Ofra Haza's Love Song is posted below in the raw... However, there are some great remixes out there; one of my favorites is the Northern Lights Remix. You will have to google it though. I only wanted to brag about her amazing voice -not the works of anyone else at this time-.
Lisa Gerrard: You might remember her from when she was in Dead Can Dance or maybe from the Gladiator soundtrack?

Nostalgic thoughts...
I once received a dozen sunflowers sent to me from some one who was going to be stuck in Vienna for an entire semester. The card simply read "Is it still raining there, too...?" I knew at that moment that the reference was an indirect quote from Mazzy's Star Five String Serenade.
This is how you woe a woman, no doubt.

Pre Sale Tickets to The Thievery Corporation
Both Rob Garza and Eric Hilton are the mix masters of the forgotten, dusty LPs that sit in someone's attic, or in a gloomy record shop at the end of Main street...Once they get a hold of these records, they turn them into musical prose like no one ever has before.
I just purchased 4 tickets for the Thievery Corporation at Stubs in Austin Tuesday, June 24th, 2008.
Tickets are not on sale yet, but you can purchase your tickets early through their space online.

Front 242: What High School Memories are made of!!
Calling all Generation Xers:
I've two words for you: Front 242...! Have you forgotten about the band that, after the release of Tyranny for You in 1991 made us dance well into the early mornings of our high school days? I was 17 at the time... and, in my world, they were the iconoclasts of music, the precursor to smart drinks, raves and everything in between.
Here's a few more to take you down a great memory lane:
-My Life with The Thrill Kill Kult
-Ministry
-Souxie and the Banshees
-Ned's Atomic Dustbin
-Depeche Mode
-Soda Estereo
-Fobia
-Charlie Garcia
-Los Enanitos Verdes
-Ayux Nahual
-They Might Be Giants
-10,000 Maniacs
-Phish
-Beastie Boys
-Shonen Knife
-Lucious Jackson
- In as much as I hate to admit it now: Nine Inch Nails

She Wants Revenge...
I couldn't help but avoid this band from L.A. because of the band's name... She Wants Revenge? WTF? Regardless of my disapproval, Justin Warfield and his band mates certainly prove that a rose, by any other name would smell just as sweet.
These dudes are not afraid to admit their love for hip hop, they are not afraid of keeping it real and voicing the collective experiences of different genres of music, regardless of how un-cool it might seem at the time...
There's something so transparent and romantic about his lyrics: "as I whisper in your ear, I want to tear you apart." At a glance, you think psychopath and later, you develop a sense of romanticism and hopelessness that stems from his very raspy sounds.
Check them out when you get a chance.

Bow to Antonio Sanchez
There is a strong argument with many about Antonio's talent...Mainly, that he is given far too much credit than what he deserves. I say, who cares? Enjoy the music, respect his hard work and talent but mainly, enjoy the music!

Berlin!
Don't ever think that Berlin's best song is "Take my Breath Away." They are so much more than the vision of Tom Cruise emerging out of the smoke in a pilot's uniform.
Case in point is the song Metro.. I've included it below and, you can check out their myspace page where they actually have uploaded a fantastic acoustic version of it and, I strongly recommend that you listen to it. Here's the original video below:
