| | The Pom Poms CD Pom Poms Discography of CDs
The brainchild of Rob Kuznia (bassist for Santa Barbara staples The Sympathetics ), The Pom Poms' sound brings to mind the melodic, lo-fi sounds of Iron and Wine and the quirky twee pop of The Boy Least Likely To. Despite its rather rough conception (the album was recorded in a series of garages and dining rooms) and quaint, all-in-the-family backstory (Kuznia's girlfriend and The Sympathetics band mates all provided backing vocals and instrumentation), the end result is a splendid, whimsical record that could easily replace all those Belle and Sebastian CDs I've long outplayed. The alternating vocals and quiet arrangements on 'Fool' are as dreamy in orchestration as they are melancholy in delivery. Meanwhile, the quirky 'Testing I' and 'Testing II' are straightforward, folk-inspired gems swathed in dreamy backup cooing and subtle trumpets. Hopefully, with the proper coaxing, Kuznia will step outside the garage â€" and in front of an audience â€" in the near future.

Purchase The Pom Poms CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Susan Boyle I Dreamed A Dream CD (2009)
The Pom Poms album
$9.58 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 from a rather faithful version of Madonna's "You'll See," I Dreamed a Dream could very well have been released all those years ago, as it mixes up the show tunes, gospel, and Christmas carols with covers of Skeeter Davis' "The End of the World," the Rolling Stones' "Wild Horses," and a version ...

The Pom Poms songs
$8.99 Pink's insistently hooky, attitude-filled pop-rock has kept the singer a fixture on the radio and on singles charts since the early 2000s. The artist's fifth effort, FUNHOUSE, doesn't tamper with the formula: Pink's powerhouse vocals and in-your-face approach, backed by stadium-sized production, are in full effect on all 12 tracks. Even though the album deals primarily with aftermath ...
| | Mark Knopfler Get Lucky CD (2009)
The Pom Poms album
$15.65 With the release of GET LUCKY, Mark Knopfler has made as many solo studio albums as he made group studio albums with Dire Straits, which itself may be a signal that it's time to stop comparing his two careers and simply accept them as separate entities. Of course, since Knopfler was the lead singer, chief instrumentalist, and songwriter for Dire Straits, there are obvious similarities, ...

| | Seasons Eventide Lullabye CD (2008)
The Pom Poms album
$11.49 Faith and Family Magazine has called Seasons a sibling act “you don’t want to miss.” A harp and hammered dulcimer trio out of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and Steubenville, Ohio, Seasons is made up of Mary-Kate Spring, Peter Winter, and Mary-Teresa Summer Lee. Grapevine Online described Seasons’ first CD, a Christmas project entitled Eventide Lullabye, as “beauty that would touch every soul.” Among other reviews, Catholic Digest said the CD was filled with “gentleness and grace,” Musicmaker’s Magazine called it “haunting yet sweet,” and EWTN Radio simply called it “Fantastic.” Reviewers have already used “fantastic” to describe Seasons new CD, Which Way to Dublin Town, as well, along with calling its original, vocal tracks The Helmsman and Dalriada “beautiful.” Seasons’ three members range in age from seventeen to twenty-two and, in addition to harp and dulcimer, play a range of instruments, including mandolin, eukulele, penny whistle, and percussion. The band has played professionally and as a ministry for eight years to all audiences from nursing home residents and churches to foreign dignitaries and internationally acclaimed artists. Seasons has opened for a Grammy winner, played at the John Paul II Cultural Center, and may be the only harps ever to have claimed the stage at the Appalachian Brewing Company. Their music has been played on radio stations heard throughout the mid-Atlantic region, and they have performed in seven states and sold CDs in nine countries. As the band describes its early days, In November 2006, we released our first CD as an independent Christmas project in our three-county region. When our dad ordered 2500 copies, we thought he was crazy. we sent the CD to a few local Christian radio stations, but didn't expect it to get played so we forgot about it. We had no plan for marketing or promoting the CDs, and our mom was terrified the boxes filled with them would never leave our basement. Our dad set them up as furniture only further fueling Mom’s fears. About a week after sending the CDs to the radio stations, we got a call at about 7:00 am from Pete Hamel, the morning DJ and station manager at a local Christian radio station—Pete was actually playing our CD, and people were calling in to the station to find out who we were and ...
