| | Tadpoles Know Your Ghosts CD Tadpoles Discography of CDs
Producer Kramer (Shimmy Disc, Bongwater) worked hard with Tadpole to work sound into every nook and cranny of the four tracks here. The dual guitars and vocals are a diffuse nebula of space rock. These soaking sounds bring to mind easy comparisons to Spacemen 3 and Galaxie 500. Layer upon layer is dovetailed together for a final product that is dense, to a certain extent psychedelic. Instead of giving into mere aural saturation and rhythm there is enough of a weird melody to each track to make the EP as listenable as Syd Barret-era Pink Floyd. ~ Tom Schulte Tadpoles, based in Hoboken, NJ, disbanded in 2000 after releasing 4 critically acclaimed studio albums, 1 live album and 1 E.P. all on their own Bakery Records label (except for their last studio album, Whirlaway, which was released on Australia's Camera Obscura Records. ) The group was formed by vocalist/guitarist, Todd Parker and original drummer, Michael Kite Audino in New York City in 1990. Members of the New York group, HIT, bassist David Max & guitarist/vocalist Nick Kramer joined in 1992 and Adam Boyette became the full time drummer in 1996. Career highlights include a four-star review in Rolling Stone magazine (May 1996) for their second studio album, Far Out, which like all of their studio albums (except Whirlaway) was produced by Shimmy Disc/Bongwater mogul, Kramer. The group was also featured in the first Terrastock festival in Providence, Rhode Island in 1997 and their performance was captured on their live album "Destroy Terrastock-Live." Although Tadpoles rarely performed live, their shows were always a multi-media sensory overload experience with films, videos, strobe lights, and other homemade visual effects. The band toured the West Coast in 1997 with Boston's Cul de Sac and Windy & Carl (as well as the late legendary John Fahey on one date. ) Since Tadpoles disbanded, David, Nick & Adam have reformed HIT and Todd Parker continues to operate Bakery Records in Hoboken.

Purchase Know Your Ghosts CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Susan Boyle I Dreamed A Dream CD (2009)
Know Your Ghosts album
$9.55 Susan Boyle's grand unveiling on Britain's Got Talent was with a song from Les Miserables - the very song that lends this album its title -- and if she could become an international sensation based on a show tune standard, there's no reason for her to change her approach on her debut, since that's the sound that made her a star. Plus, a large part of Boyle's appeal is that she's a middle-aged woman recalling a bygone era when there were singers that appealed to an adult audience by offering soft, stately versions of pop hits and standards. That time was the late `60s and early `70s, and apart ...

Know Your Ghosts CD music
$9.74 Since Jimmy Buffett never leaves his comfort zone, it's hard to call 2009's Buffet Hotel a return to roots but, in a way, it is. Discounting the mock rap on "Turn Up the Heat and Chill the Rosé," this album doesn't even have the lingering country and reggae flavors that seasoned 2006's Take the Weather with You, with all of the songs riding a cool, mellow country-rock wave, the kind that has been his ...

Know Your Ghosts songs
$12.69 King You hails from the sunny banks of the San Diego Bay. Originally born in the deep Santa Cruz mountains to parents escaping the suburban hell that envelops many, the leader of King You, El Maestro, began his music career at a young age. At four he performed his first concert on the deck with a ramshackle drum set and a song called "Kudaluck". Subsequent performances became even better as he became trained at the piano. He performed at piano recitals playing such hits as "Brian's Song" and "Pink Panther" and wowing audiences of weeping children and drunk parents. After a few years and a few teachers later, he quit the piano. One teacher would poke his wrists if he didn't keep his hands up and another wrote a letter saying that he just didn't practice enough and that she would not teach him any more. He opted instead for a used classical guitar sitting in the shed which had been used to learn a few Joan Baez songs in the late 60's early 70's by his mother. The guitar proved a hit in his life and so began his bedroom rocking.In the eighth grade he got into a huge heavy rock phase that was naively spurred on by his worship of Slash from the band Guns n' Roses. With posters on the wall tore out from rocker magazines, he practiced and practiced daily on the classical guitar that rocked as much as a Japanese knockoff guitar can. His musical influences changed quickly into a strong punk and ska following and trips often to Gilman Street in Berkley where he once saw a dude eat poop on stage. (That is punk rock. ) He continued his practice through college, writing songs along the way and jamming with some very talented musicians around Eugene, Oregon. There's even a previous CD by the Grocery Boys where he plays guitar and sings with the band. He played in Japan at bars and clubs strumming and singing Beatles covers, his own music, and anything people could throw at him. His musical tastes expanded to multiple genres and arrangements. Today, with his first album "What gets me: King You", the musical makings of a very listenable artist are being portrayed for the first time to the public. El Maestro is ready. Today, King You has put out their debut album. Since King You really is just one guy (a teacher), the "their" refers to the multiple personalities and mindsets that it takes to produce an album where one guy plays all the instruments. You can hear the pain of loss in many songs as much of the CD was inspired by death, observations of life, rants and raves, and relationships. Everyone can relate to much of what El Maestro unfolds in his lyrics layered sometimes with heavy beats ...
