hello everybody. *crickets chirping* I’m the newest addition to this wonderful site, and I go by the name………..cj. Mysterious isn’t it? Yeah so I like music and pancakes, but since this is a music blog and not a pancake blog, I guess I’ll talk about music…….
First off, let me tell you that the return of the great Danes called Mew is getting closer. While listening to DK Barometer (Danish netradio), I heard the premiere of their first single off of their upcoming second/fourth studio release which is yet to be titled. The single has a title though. It is called……..Apocalypso! Now it’s been about two years since they have released anything new so I was expecting something to lift me out of my seat. What I got was just that. Now while it’s not as good as some of their “Frengers” songs, it still has that dreamy feeling that so far only Mew has been able to produce. Come to think of it, Apocalypso is sorta like a Am I Wry? No and Snow Brigade hybrid. If you can piece that together…..good for you. Now the single will officially be released on July 4th in Europe, and the album is scheduled for release on September 6th. Produced by Michael Beinhorn, who has produced albums for Korn and Marilyn Manson, so far he has done a good job from what I have heard. The single is quite complex and takes you to a lot of different places, without losing you. Let’s just hope that the rest of the album stays the same course. Oh yeah and if you’re wondering when Mew will be coming to perform here in the USA………your guess is as good as mine. But you bet your sweet behind that I’ll keep you all updated.

Yeah well this has become quite a long 1st post. Before I leave you for the 1st time, I think it’s only fair that I give you a list of my current favorite artists and albums, just to show you that I do have good taste……..and occasionally bad taste (pobody’s nerfect).
