“Rock and roll should be about
a pair of tight pink satin trousers.” 
-- Mick Jagger

PJ Harvey
Rejoice! PJ Harvey is back and then some with "Good Fortune," laying her heart on the line with the lethal intensity, emotion, and sexuality that have become her trademark!
   
Tiffany

Alternative
Cowboy Junkies - "A Few Simple Words" - MP3 - 3 Stars
Snare drums a-snapping, ivories a-tickling … It may not be the Junkies’ defining moment, but “A Few Simple Words” warrants of repeated spins!

Electronic
King Kooba - "Feel The Colour" - WinMedia - 3 Stars
King Kooba put an organic spin on electronic music with this groovy, funk-flavored jam.

Rap/Hip-Hop
Ludacris - "What's Your Fantasy" - LiquidAudio - 4 Stars
Nothing Ludacris about this prediction: the South’s gonna rise again with this down-and-dirty hip-hop trip to Fantasy Island!

Metal
Yngwie Malmsteen - "Crucify" - MP3 - 5 Stars
Glorious uber-metal excess from the fleet-fingered Yngwie! It sounds like 1985 all over again!

Nothingface - "Bleeder" - WinMedia - 4 Stars
Kick out the jams and break out the gauze, testosterone rawkers … it’s the future of metal. “Bleeder” runs red and Nothingface gets the green light.

R&B
Debelah Morgan - "Dance With Me" - LiquidAudio - 3 Stars
It only takes one to tango to this tropical R&B treat -- assuming you know how to download it yourself! If not, ask for help and then go cheek to cheek!

Reggae
Sly and Robbie - "Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner - by Black Uhuru" - PlayJ - 5 Stars
If you’ve somehow missed this roots reggae feast, you’re starvin’ and don’t know it! Download now and eat later!

Bounty Killer - "No Mercy" - PlayJ - 4 Stars
You’ll get “No Mercy” from Bounty Killer here -- unless you like your ragga ruff ‘n’ raw!

Rock
Blue Oyster Cult - "Don't Fear The Reaper (Live)" - WinMedia - 2 Stars
Is this the real Blue Oyster Cult, captured live on stage at the Orlando House of Blues, or an inept weekend cover band stumbling its way through one of the greatest rock songs of all time? You be the judge!

Blues
Candye Kane - "Toughest Girl Alive" - LiquidAudio - 4 Stars
No-nonense boogie-woogie from a big mama who don't take no mess!

Jazz
Freddie Hubbard - "Shaw Nuff" - LiquidAudio - 4 Stars
Harder + faster = better on this pumping bop workout from ’81. If you remember Hub as just a mellow fusioneer, hear how wrong you were.

George Benson - "All Blues" - MP3 - 3 Stars
Benson gets blue on Miles’ modal masterpiece. No singin’ and no funk, just liquid guitar runs that also pack some punch.

Punk
Refused - "Refused Are Fucking Dead (Remix)" - MP3 - 3 Stars
An electronic dance remix of a hardcore punk band? Why the hell not? This version of one of the Swedish hardcore unit's last tracks will appeal to electronic fans more than it will to punks.

Alt-Country
Allison Moorer - "Send Down An Angel" - LiquidAudio - 4 Stars
More, more, Moorer! Allison’s her name, and her heartbreak’s her game on this teary-eyed country keeper.

Jambands
Rockin' Teenage Combo - "Groove Canal #42" - MP3 - 5 Stars
We don’t know what the other 41 sound like, but "Groove Canal #42" sounds like just the kind of place for a dark & groovy boat trip.

Search Da Blitz!
