Bridget Kelly! WOW!

Before I go, I'd like to introduce you to Thanatos. This band has made some excellent albums dating back to the early '90s and the mainstay, Patrick Ogle, has one final (completed) album left to release. The album is called The Exterminating Angel and needs 80 pre-orders for pressing. I've already pre-ordered. I'm hoping that you'll investigate and, if you find that you like Thanatos, pre-order a CD upping the possibility that we'll all get one of these CDs. Check it out at the link. And while you're there, check out a few of the posted tracks.

John Dunphy makes it two in a row with his new review of The Grandiose Nowhere by Lacrimas Profundere.

I want to alert TAP readers to the fact that I have finally put together a FaceBook fan page that you can access and join by clicking on the badge below.  What this offers is the exact same thing as my Twitter feeds provide and that is first buzz on upcoming releases and free offered downloads, many announcements  that beat our main post, sometimes by days.  We also provide a Google BUZZ page that expands on most of the Twitter/FB feeds. On Buzz, you can even hear the music stream if a stream is offered.  There are still things that I'm working on in the FB page, like calender notes as well as links to great sites like The Second Disc.  I invite you to join us at our FB page and bookmark it.  Visit it daily and you'll be rewarded with much news and info.  Of course, you'll still want to come to the main MusicTAP page for our noisy commentaries.  Remember, with our Twitter feeds, you can elect to receive the news bursts as text on your mobile phone keeping you effortlessly up to date with stuff.  Lots of choices.  Find one, or two, that fits.

I'm a little disappointed that New England was not represented and that Number the Brave is a little too represented. And I would have preferred "Underground" (yes, i know that it is on Time Was, the OTHER MCA anthology). Otherwise, I think it tells a good story. "Moonshine" is the wrong song to represent Locked In, but at least the album is addressed. And c'mon...I LOVE "Everybody Needs A Friend," but that album is loaded with better tracks - Yes, it is! "Rock and Roll Widow" and "Ballad of The Beacon". "Doctor".

Spank!
