Dexateens
I wrote an earlier blog entry where I listed a smorgasbord-enheeben of Birmingham musicians that I was planning to check into. I’ve looked at the first grouping of them in another entry. This is the second grouping.
I’ve got five basic classifications for music:
- 5 – Play it again, over and over.
- 4 – Worth following, and finding further music.
- 3 – Very listenable, wouldn’t hit the skip button.
- 2 – Might skip it.
- 1 – Unlistenable.
AA Bondy
It’s only one guy’s opinion, but I’ve listed these bands in order. I’ve also listed the primary songs I recommend you check out, along with a gist of total plays on their Myspace pages.
- Dexateens – (162000+ plays) Everything rates right around a 4. Listen to “Down Low”, “Neil Armstrong”, and “Naked Ground” on Myspace.
- AA Bondy – (433000+ plays) Generally slightly under a 4. Listen to “when the devil’s loose” on Myspace.
- Photonicas – (29000+ plays) Just greater than 3.5 or so overall , but often creeps up into the early 4’s. Listen to “Let it Go” and “Comfortable” on Myspace. More songs on Tapestry – try “Losing It”.
- The Bridges – (647000+ plays) Balanced right in that area just north of highly listenable and just south of something I’d be curious to hear more of. Which is right around a 3 1/2, I guess. Already slick, pretty, and radio friendly. Listen to “Pieces” and “All the Words” on Myspace. More songs also available on Tapestry.
More recommmendations to come. Still, if you know of any other Birmingham artist I should hear, let me know.
