and re-born.

1. Secret Of The Golden Flower

Will Robinson Fish Heads |
conqueroo reports: In one corner, we have
Barnes & Barnes, a duo thrilled to hold the distinction of having recorded
the most requested song in the history Doctor Demento's syndicated radio
program. In the opposite corner, we have Larry "Wild Man" Fischer, arguably
the most bizarre recording artist to emerge from arguably the most bizarre
city, Los Angeles. What's the connection? Well, Barnes & Barnes produced
two Wild Man Fischer albums as charter releases for the soon-to-be-multimillion-dollar
Rhino label. And now Barnes & Barnes' classic Voobaha album, along
with two Fischer albums � Pronounced Normal and Nothing Scary � will be
reissued on Collectors' Choice Music on April 3, 2007.
Barnes & Barnes was composed of Art
& Artie Barnes, noms du disques for childhood friends Bill Mumy (yes,
Will Robinson on "Lost in Space") and Robert Haimer, respectively. Their
goal was never to make it big � just to get played on their fave syndicated
radio show hosted by Doctor Demento. [see full story for more]-

Z Declares that Jazz is Not Dead |
PR reports: Declaring to the world, beyond
a shadow of a doubt, that "jazz is not dead, it is alive and right here!,"
Rachel Z's latest fascinating creative stop Dept Of Good And Evil finds
her in a slightly Goth state of mind, which complements the mix of popular
and more obscure pop/rock covers and lyrical and soulful originals penned
by her ("Moon And Sun," "Walking On Water," both of which feature her sensuous,
romantic vocals) and longtime drummer and collaborator Bobbie Rae (the
haunting elegy to the "Saint of New Orleans"). [see full story for more]-

Havnevik Is Coming |
Filter reports: Kate Havnevik's debut Continentica/Universal
release 'Melankton' will be in stores on
March 27th and she has plotted a few US
dates as well. Here is a bit of what her publicist had to say about the
CD, but you can judge for yourself at the full story link: Kate Havnevik
is an unbelievable singer, armed with the sort of voice that swirls as
soft as fresh snow, and induces chills just the same. Its crystalline perfection
is the anchor of every song the Norwegian beauty writes. And speaking of
writing, she's also one hell of a songwriter, composing every song on her
debut album, Melankton, from the ground up, including the string arrangements,
which are sweeping, epic and beautiful. Her songs reach emotional depths
without relying on trickery or dishonesty � every bit of music on Melankton
comes straight from the center of Kate's heart
3/6: Mo Pitkin's House Of Satisfaction,
New York NY
3/15: SXSW � Eternal, Austin TX
3/22: Joe's Pub, New York NY
3/27: Hotel Café, Los Angeles CA

Unlike some fellow metalheads,
I actually find Lordi to be quite enjoyable and I think most of their material
is worth coughing up some dough for. Now my basic exposure to Lordi leads
me to the band's third offering, The Arockalypse.- Read
the full Lordi - The Arockalypse review
Josh Dion Band gives a high-energy
performance with huge sounds. This album really gives a good sense of their
live performances. Funk and soul fans, if you want an album that will get
that booty shakin', pick up this album. (4.5 stars)

the full Josh Dion Band - Live! review
Ready. Fire. Aim .is a CD which
has fine tuned the art of fullness in brevity and stepped just over the
line of merely being a good pop album. Each song starts and finishes at
just the right time, leaving nothing to the wanting ear except another
listen. (4.5 stars)
