Going out tonight for a special evening, to see wonderful Atlanta musician (and high school friend of my wife) Paul Melancon. I have been keeping him as an ace up my sleeve as a killer band of the day. I intended to wait until his new CD came out to use him, but I decided "screw it, I'll do it twice!" So, here is his download page. These are great, catchy pop songs. The two from his new album are really unbelievably freakishly good. If you never download any other thing I suggest, please give these a try. "Jeff Lynne" has been one of my favorite songs for a while, complete with all the ELO touches you'd expect in a homage. He just recently put up "King Sham", a song that is 20X better than that shit you hear on the radio. His work is amazing in that it is fresh and contemporary sounding, but at the same time kind of retro-feeling. I could imagine either of these songs on a Todd Rundgren album of the 70's but he wouldn't be out of place opening for No Doubt or Matthew Sweet or Incubus. Please, my dear friends, hear my plea and give this a listen. If you don't like it, I'll give you double your time back.
