As far as music goes, this year has been slow. There's a lot of new music out there but lets just say the music industry isn't exactly striving for a quality product. My aim is to expose bands new albums when they are exceptional. There have been few of them in 2009. I know what you are thinking, "how about the new Timberlake album?" Well lets just say that if your listening to JT or J Lo for that matter you are about as far removed from the real music scene than David Dukes from the equal rights movement. As far as I am concerned there is nothing worth a damn on the radio, and thats exactly how the music industry wants it. Their aim is to focus on selling advertising with a little background music thrown in to make you think its you they are speaking to. With that said I thought I would just bring some new music to your attention. So here goes, If you havent heard anything from Tom Peloso you really need to. Tom has had a long and impressive career in the music world, from his time with King Sour, to bluegrass bands Chigger,and the Hakensaw Boys, to Modest Mouse and beyond. Tom plays a variety of instruments including, guitar, bass, piano, banjo, and a few horns. His new triumphs have paired him with Austin fitch, Mike Bishop (formerly of Gwar and Kepone) , Darrell Hyden , Stuart Gunter and Matt Rissler. Let me just say that there are no weak links in this band. It is a who's-who of musical genius. Each player is casted in a masterful way thereby creating a collage of interesting and yet cohesive music that can only be described as groundbreaking. The Band is called Tom Peloso and the Virginia Sheiks and its a must hear for anyone who truly loves music. Enjoy this eclectic mix of "something for everyone music" that is both interesting and rocking all at once. Warning if you like Creed you will not like this! But we still have hope for you. Step away from the radio!
