[Dreamboat] OFF TOPIC: New Music

[DRMFRIEND at aol.com]

Ok, this is very off topic, but since there hasn't been a great deal of 'on 
topic' discussion as of late, I thought I'd interject a different sorta musical 
thread.   I invite everyone to share in this.  

In the name of broadening our musical horizons, I would like everyone to 
discuss some new music that you all have discovered recently.  Also, how you found 
out about it and why you like it.  Doesn't matter what it is, how old or new, 
genre...  I don't care.  Let's just yak about great music for a bit.  Want 
to?  :)  

I will start off by telling you about a new group I discovered while surfing 
on CDBaby.  It's amazing how much kewl independent music there is.  I had no 
idea.   There's this little modern psychadelic band out of Oklahoma called 
Ghost Of Monks Hood.  I get the feeling they are very indiginous to the city they 
live in.  They recorded their 4th album entitled, "Spider Through The Fog" 
...in some guy's bedroom.   They recorded it themselves.  Very much underground.  
But, that's what's so kewl about it.  Artistically, I give it much merit.  
Musically, they are on their way to developing a very kewl sound.  It's hard for 
me to describe their music.  It ranges from folk, a bit 'Dead-ish' at times, 
some Floyd influences, some jazz elements, interesting keyboard 'sounds'. 
Unusually harmonies (with distortion at times).  There's a bit of prog, as well.   
Uhh.. You just have to give it a listen for yourself, I think.  If you're at 
all curious..  Go To CDBaby.com  and do a search for the band name, or Email 
me privately and I'll be happy to give you a direct link.  You can listen to a 
good bit a several songs from this album..   Seriously, I consider these guys 
my new little 'pet band' that I love to champion for their sheer audacity to 
record this kind of music and do it rather well. It's fun.  It's renaissance, 
it's real and it's underground.  And I really love it.  So, turn up a stone, my 
friends.
