Great news! HYPERBUBBLE are back with twelve more blasts from their pink & blue pop gun! On their latest release, "Airbrushed Alibis", futurewave action figures Jess & Jeff deliver all new tales of supermodels, cyborgs, and sexy surveillance.Hyperbubble ... Full Descriptionfill their musical test tube with a mixture of both influence and invention. Jess has a voice reminiscent of Blondie,Ladytron, and Young Marble Giants, while Jeff's bouncy synth riffs will appeal to fans of Yello, Devo, and Giorgio. Imagewise, the pair bare a strong resemblance to Hasbro cartoon rockers Jem & The Holograms, as well as another synth-weilding duo from the 70's: The Captain & Tennille.Yet, while there is the occasional nod to the past, Hyperbubble reject the term "retro", utilizing their stacks of synthesizers and sequencers to give "Airbrushed Alibis" a fresh, 21st Century sound. Digital samples are also employed, ranging from electronic bird feeders, to microwave ovens, to Jeff's favorite percussive device, his Bee Gees lunchbox. The harder, faster, and fuller-sounding follow up to the duo's 2004 debut, "Airbrushed Alibis" will transport your mind to the dark side of the bubble on “Non-Biodegradable Hazardous Waste Disposal“(with guest vocalists from GirlsRiseWihHeat, Polarized Mind, Femme Fatality, Mission Giant, and Moog Mafia, journey to the center of your spine with "Nervous System", then peek into the future with "I'm in Love with My Clone". Each new song is an invitation to switch on, plug in, and pop out!__Having demonstrated on their debut that they know how to make peppy synth pop par excellence, Jess and Jeff DeCuir keep at it with their second effort, a dozen delights as dayglo-entertaining as the album artwork. Unlike so much of the almost too-apologetic neo-keyboard-new-wave, the DeCuirs actually sound like they want to hit a dance floor, and one overseen by the self-knowing wryness of Devo at that. So opening "Synesthesia" is a full-on celebration of their artistic approach, detailing all the pieces of equipment needed to hit the beats and bleeps in traded-off then shared vocals, all with the kind of weird and wonderful nagging synth lines that make listeners of a certain age want to hit the arcade to play Pac-Man or Defender right this second. (The concluding unlisted "Bonus Track" does much the same thing with the very concept of such a song.) Jess's delivery is again the kind of witty ice-cool warmth that could almost be a solo cyborg Shangri-Las, while the two create perfectly in sync arrangements of tense and brisk such as "Hyperdome" and the slow-crawling ballad that's the title track. It's no surprise that Jeff in particular has such a sharp eye for sheer froth given his roots in an act like Pink Filth, and song titles like "Rollerboogie Babydoll" and the ultimate mouthful of "Non-Biodegradable Hazardous Waste Disposal" further demonstrate it. (Meanwhile there's even a subtle Queen nod in the title of "I'm In Love With My Clone.") Perhaps the cherry on the sundae is a classic disaffected anthem-of-youth, "Indoor Kidz," simultaneously a tribute to any number of generations chilling in front of some sort of screen (the music may be early eighties, but the mentions of laptops are newer and the quote from the Who rather earlier) and straight-up herky-jerky dance delight. - Ned Raggett, All Music GuideWith a groove that splits the difference between New Traditionalists-era Devo and early Berlin, Airbrushed Alibis is inspired silliness and a charming demonstration of how to commit to a concept. The formula works because Jeff and Jess genuinely love their bubblegum kitsch fantasy, and also because they have a reliable feel for pop hooks, best displayed on "Commuter" ( a celebration of cutting-edge transportation) and "Rollerboogie Babydoll" (Donna Summer meets Isaac Asimov). A cartoonish, Hanna-Barbera view of the future informed by 1960s visions of the 21st century as an era of flying cars and robotic romance: In Hyperbubble's w Hide Description Hyperbubble Airbrushed Alibis Songs | 1. | Synesthesia |

Airbrushed Alibis album
$15.89 Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers: Art Blakey (drums); Wayne Shorter (tenor saxophone); Freddie Hubbard (trumpet); Curtis Fuller (trombone); Cedar Walton (piano); Reggie Workman (bass).
Digitally remastered using 20-bit K2 Super Coding System technology.
This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players.
Yet another fabulous session by Art Blakey and his Jazz Messengers from the early '60s. CARAVAN was the Messengers' debut for Riverside during a time when they primarily recorded sessions for Alfred Lion's Blue Note label. This is the sextet version of the group, with Freddie Hubbard, Curtis Fuller, and Wayne Shorter forming one of the best front lines of all time. As usual, the band is the epitome of classic hard bop, with tight ensemble work, highly advanced arrangements, and powerful solos by all.
The group's impressive arrangement of Duke Ellington's "Caravan" opens the set with signature African drum grooves and solos from the leader. Music director Shorter contributes two original selections for the set; his swinging waltz "Sweet 'N' Sour" is offered in two takes, and the moving "This is For Albert" is, interestingly enough, a dedication to pianist Bud Powell. ...

$9.35 Beats: Miles Bonny (aka DinoJack Crispy)Lyrics: ID (aka Lucky Mannuelo)for more info visit: www.TheFind.net"It is the feeling of being lost in one's own thoughts. It is wanting to say something and not being able to confront the truth or reality of the right thing to say. It is those hesitant first steps of a grand undertaking. It is the self-titled debut from the experimental local Hip hop duo, The Find, and it is all about the art, the hustle, the humor, and the triumph of being human.Wordsmith, Lucky Manuelo and sonic landscape artist, DinoJack Crispy present an album that is lyrically heavy enough to challenge but aurally light enough to inspire. This isn't Hip hop for the dancehall or the Jeep trunk. Casual listeners will find the album difficult to settle into, as this is Hip hop for the thinker, for the believer, and for the romantic. However, those willing to explore will discover that the album resonates with overwhelming sincerity and warmth. In the short space of 27 minutes, The Find convincingly expresses the beauty of human imperfection."-Cornelius MinorReview of THE FIND : from Lawrence.com : an Award winning entertainment website and publication...Miles Bonny is a sneaky devil. The Lawrence-based beatmaker, who created and maintains Lawrencehiphop.com, is best-known for his work with local hip-hop duo SoundsGood, but has also released work under the monikers Dino Jack Crispy, Fats Brown and (gasp) Miles Bonny. Add to the list Bonny's newest project: "The Find." The album's eight tracks allow Archetype's I.D. (credited here as "Lucky Manuelo") free reign over the prolific producer's lost beats. I.D. spins threads of stream-of-conscious rhymes on top of Bonny's dense compositions, ...
