"Superfan2009 is our inspiration. Superfan2ten is at it again finding one gr8 song a day." Matthew King Kaufman, Fun Fun Fun Recordings
Lordamercy, what a voice! No surprise that Mariza has become a huge star in Portugal and is buzzing big in England and around the globe. Have a listen and you’ll understand what Fado music is all about, and why Mariza’s album is called “Fado em mim” – which means “Fado in me.” Heartfelt virtuoso solo singing, over a sweet folky guitar arrangement that almost whispers of flamenco. Breathtaking.

F-Minus – “Love Is Just A Tool”
My punk rock funny bone is tickled by any band that calls itself F-Minus. Their song on this Hellbent Records comp is a masterful outburst of punk rage, weighing in at 1:09 with an avalanche of huge guitar sounds and belligerent abandon. Awesome.

PooNyk & Oxide – “It Lasts Eternally”
Trance time! When you need to depart this plane of reality and step into a realm of decadent audio bliss, let the trance deejays take over. This bright and airy track from Russian sound sculptors PooNyk & Oxide is fine designer medicine for your mind, heart and bootay. Great in a club of course, but through the wonders of the Interweb, you can enjoy this at home, dancing in the kitchen or frollicking in the boudoir. Summer party season approaches and we will need some blissed out electronica! Do yourself and your guests a favor and pick up this whole comp.

Jason Ricci And New Blood – “Done With The Devil”
Jason Ricci And New Blood is one of those artists I just need to shout about to anyone who will listen. Listen to their music, yes, it’s great, but also, to get the full picture, read these album notes. This is not blues for a museum, this is living, breathing, reveling and rebelling blues in our time. With an openly gay and punkily flamboyant lead singer, and a completely kick ass blues rock combo, these guys are destroying every stereotype in their path and having the time of their lives doing it. This track is brilliant and the speaking in tongues at the end of this track is precious.
