Not My Brother Podcast

The "Official" Not My Brother Podcast is now available to listen. To give you some background about the this project is simply, me wanting to share new music and also be able to talk to others about it. I want to start a conversation or spark someone onto a new artist that may brilliant there day or just simple make the minute. I hope you enjoy the collection of songs that I have put together. Around every month, I will be posting a "radio podcast" which I will rare tracks, live recordings and songs that inspire me. Feel free to make any comments or ask me any questions.
Also by going to the site, you make download the podcast or simply stream it from your computer. We are still working out the best way to do things and hopefully by the end of the month have it up on itunes. I hope you all enjoy.

football begins

football season has started in the south. Meaning, if there is a home game, there is not much to do in town but to go to the game. I have adopted Clemson football as my team of choice and whenever I can. Above is a picture of what the stadium looks like right before Clemson players come running down the hill. The place goes crazy, people jump up and down, balloons go flying and within miles away you can hear people cheering. Below is a little movie clip of what is like to be in the student section right before a kick off. Everyone jumps up and down and sings "Uh oh, Uh oh, etc".

So, for all of you folks who ever never had the chance to go to a game. You need to go find a team and go embrace the culture of a Saturday Football game. I probably will not be writing much about football games but I figure it is a good time of the year to share the experience of the past two weekends.

UPdate

Went to the Red Sox vs. Braves this past weekend. It was a sad day. Sox lost. however, the next day they won. Maybe I am cursed? Maybe, the Atlanta heat is getting to my head. Unsure, but I do know that if you are interested in listening ot some new music, check out http://www.joshrouse.com/.

Each week, they are playing a new track from his album coming out in the end of July (31). The album is called "Country Mouse, City House" which contains 9 tracks based around 70's style with catchy lyrics and broke down sound, similiar to the groups, "Eagles" and "America". I have listened to most of the tracks have a wintery and yet disconnect from the traditional Josh Rouse sound. "Sweetie" the opening track from the album is the probably the best song on the album so far from what i have heard and "Snowy" is major departure by using horns instead of the classic strings are a haunting background. Over all, the album may test the waters of loyal Josh Rouse fans or it may just simple make them down until the next album.

new music 06-09-07

Cary Brothers: "Who You Are": The other day I was listening to the mix and I heard a song that caught my attention, "Who You Are" the title track from Cary Brothers first full lengthy Lp. I knew of Cary Brothers from the songs, "Blue Eyes" (Garden State Soundtrack) and "Ride" (The Last Kiss Soundtrack) and heard some of his other songs that I was less involved getting to know from Ep's. However, Brothers has stepped up and put together a collection broken hearted, beautiful driven and passionate ballads. "Loneliest Girl In the World", "Honestly" and "Precious Lie" are heartfelt and hopeful among tragic of relationships. "Who You Are" and "Ride" are the driving chorus that deal with fighting for love and expression. Brothers has matured his writing style and is stepping forward with "Who You Are". It is a great record, go check it out at www.myspace.com/carybrothers
Travis: "The Boy With No Name": Travis's fifth album is a delightful and a cheerful surprise in comparison to there extremely dark forth album "12 Memories". The new single, "Closer", shows the more happier and sentimental sides of Travis progressive songwriting abilities and continue to embrace there beautiful melancholy feel. "Big Chair" and "Eyes Wide Open" are bass guided songs that put a refreshing twist to the traditional sober Travis sound. "Colder" is personal my favorite track, with it catchy lyrics, harmonica solo and entwined with Scottish sadness. "The Boy With No Name" is a sold record and also has once again put hope that Travis will continue to make good music.
William Fitzsimmons: "Its Not True": Fitzsimmons has a very familiar sound, honest lyrics and simple melodies. If you are fan of "Iron and Wine" (even looks like them) or "Joshua Radin" definitively check out "Goodnight" the new LP from William Fitzsimmons. You can also listen to some of his tracks "It's Not True" and "Everything Has Changed" at www.myspace.com/williamfitzsimmons .
