Review of BANG! Music Festival
Big BANG! November 15, 2006 -Adam Singer Eclectically compelling. That’s the musical experience at BANG!. Everything from Latin-jazz funk to 80’s to alternative to down-tempo to reggae to full on trance, BANG! offered a taste of everything. And that contributed to the diverse and “up for it” crowd. There was nothing but smiles and people [...]
Two New Productions Up On MySpace
I’ve been really working hard on the new album, entitled “Lifeforce” – due out in 2007. It’s a combination of organic, melodic and jazzy sounds, all with a very warm feel. If you want to get a preview, click here – the first two songs are part of the new direction I’ve been taking my [...]

Futurama Quotes…
I love Futurama. It is perhaps one of the most creative/fun animated shows ever created – the references to pop culture (taken in a future tense) are absolute brilliance.

Improv Everywhere
These guys are brilliant. Inspired by Upright Citizens Brigade, and sometimes bearing resemblance to a flash mob (but 100% peaceful); improve everywhere seeks to interrupt the status quo. And this is always a positive in my eyes. Check out what they did at a Home Depot. The video paints a good description of what the [...]
What’s With Artists Whoring Themselves Lately?
Lately, it seems as if supposed “artists” – especially in the music realm – will stop at nothing to whore themselves around the internet. I say whore because there is a point it’s not promotion anymore. And it almost seems like everyone is doing it. Hype isn’t cool if you’re an artist, and I really [...]
