Ruby Tuesday & Pictures...

Sparks Of Insanity By Vinny "Bond" Marini Tuesday, September 09, 2008 22 Of Your Sparks

There were some pictures that just did not come out from the Audubon Center on Nancy's camera and I need to get the roll in my camera finished off and then developed to see what is there, but I do have some photos to share with all y'all today. As always, click to enlarge.

First up is in honor of Ruby Tuesday...Now Mary/The Teach says it does not matter how much red is in the photo so that is a good thing.

Click on the logo above to head over to The Teach's blog to see all the entries this week.

Only male hummingbirds have red on their neck and only adult males have red...SEE! I did learn something...
Each hummingbird was measured for weight, size of their beak and a few other measurements. While they waited their turn the hummingbirds are kept in little net bags. Funny, the ids that were gathered around - and there were many of them - kept asking "Are they dead?", since the birds did not flutter a wing...then the tiniest of bands were placed around their 'ankles' (Yeah I know birds don't have ankles, but you know what I mean), before being released.


These were taken at Nancy's on Saturday as we were preparing dinner...I had splashed some water on myself and did not notice that I still had some spots on my shirt...OH WELL!

Oh and Fred...Mom and Dad say HI!

Then, you know an artist is good when she only goes by one name. Joséphine left the romantic streets of Paris at the age of 17 to pursue a career in music. That career has taken her to Montreal, New York City and now the Radio Happy Hour. We’ll listen to some tunes and her undoubtedly sexy French accent.

All that, plus Vinny Bond drags his Big Leather Couch into the Radio Happy Hour Lounge to chat live with the listeners, Justin the Weatherman and we’ll take your calls at 646-652-4804.

Join us live every Tuesday night at 9PM ET. The Radio Happy Hour Lounge-a live, interactive chat room during show time-is a whole new reason to make sure you listen live! It’s the show within the show!


This is one of the songs from Joséphine. It is entitled "I Sing"...hope you enjoy...


Tuneage Tutelage Music Review Friday

Sparks Of Insanity By Vinny "Bond" Marini Friday, August 08, 2008 19 Of Your Sparks

What a finale of So You Think You Can Dance!...This is my first season watching it and I did enjoy it greatly.

Congrats to the winner, Joshua...I was a Twitch guy personally and even voted the last few weeks. But Joshua is an incredible talent...totally untrained, yet he did the 'structured dances' so well.

I can't really talk about this stuff, but you know who can?!?!?!?!?!

That's right...head over to TRAVIS' and get the educated rundown of the finale...




So, recently I was contacted by a PR firm that represents a ton of musical artists. These are not arena type artists, but people and bands trying to make it on the circuit.

Just about everyday I get an email with a new artist featured. I then go and listen to their music and see what they are all about. We will be booking a couple of these people for the Radio Happy Hour in the coming months, but I thought I would give you, my wonderful guests, the opportunity to perhaps find a new favorite or two. I have found some artists that I really enjoy. Some not so much.

Today I am going to introduce you to some of these artists, even those that don't make me get my groove-thing on, because your musical tastes might just be different than mine.

Figured this was good for a Friday so all y'all have the weekend to come back and explore these artists...and give you a chance to rate them. Let's be fair and honest now...

Also, let me know if you like this feature and I will continue to share.

ENJOY...

NEAL FOX....

Neal is from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Take one shot of David Bowie, a shot of Billy Joel, a splash of John Lennon, pour into the glass and stir with one ice cube and you can imagine what you will get listening to Neal Fox.

This is "Is Anybody Home" which is strongly influenced by Bowie, but there are times when it sounds like John has added vocals. It is a tad eerie to be honest...


"A Cold Day Is Coming" let's you hear the Billy Joel/Bruce Springsteen influence. I do like his lyrics on this one...


"What The Hell Were You Thinking?" A little Marc Bolen/Warren Zevon/Joe Walsh vibe on this one...


You can learn more about Neal Fox on his website HERE or on his myspace page HERE.


THE STATES...

Frontman Chris Snyder, bassist Previn Warren and drummer Joe Stroll are from New York City. They list their influences as U2, The Mars Volta, Radiohead, The Dismemberment Plan and Muse.

Their website can be found HERE and their myspace is HERE (there is more music there). They only had one song available for preview. It is called "The Architect" Not something that rocked my boat. I didn't hate it, so I guess I would say I needed to hear more...


JOSEPHINE...

She also hails from New York and lists her influences as Toby Lightman, Michelle Branch, Alicia Keys and Ella Fitzgerald...now THOSE are some influences!

You can hear more music and find out more about Josephine - just check out her myspace page HERE.

First is "Unfinished Life"...


Next is something a little different, "Stronger"...I like this one best out of her three.


And finally, "I Think Of You"...


Y'ALL HAVE A FANTABULOUS WEEKEND NOW, YA HEAR....
