The Garlands - You Never Notice Me

Overall, another wonderful little show. Forgive me that it's really long (nearly an hour), and I keep promising to keep the show brief (which apparently is not happening). Although I do end up throwing out 20% of what's recorded, most of our conversations are solid gold!

Kerry Politzer (kerrypolitzer.com) is addicted to Second Life (haha! just kidding).

If you play Second Life, you should add her as a friend. I would be doing Second Life too if it wasn't for presky First Life getting in the way.

If you were curious about what a "live" performance on Second Life looks like, check out this youtube video.

Also, I don't know where Q's House (is it in New York?), but there will be a live interview with her on February 19th. More details about this interview on myspace.

A few tour announcements as well: 65daysofstatic (65daysofstatic.com) and Cadence Weapon (cadenceweaponmusic.com) are going on tour.

We've previously mentioned 65daysofstatic before, so check out the article for more details.

I'm actually pretty excited about Cadence Weapon, who sounds like Minneapolis's Atmosphere.

I have Cadence Weapon's new album, Afterparty Babies (to be released March 4th 2008), for review, and from what I've heard: it's full of great pop culture lyrics.

If you're into club/dance, you might have heard "Rapture" by iiO (iiomusic.com). Well after four years, they've decided to go back and "reconstruct" the song and release it as, erm, "Rapture Reconstruction".

The double-disc EP contains 15 tracks of the new Rapture song, each remixed by a variety of DJs.

The sample song I received (Creamer & K Remix) is pretty good, although I haven't heard the original Reconstruction song to compare it.

And speaking of re-issues, the original 2001 The Glow Pt 2 by Microphones.Mount Eerie (krecs.com) is being re-released on April 8th as a 2-disc set from K Records.

This band was originally called The Microphones (based out of Olympia, Washington), who, under the direction of Phil Elvrum, changed their name to Mount Eerie in 2004. Not sure why the name change, but they basically changed it back to The Microphones.

Kerry Politzer just recorded her second podcast, The Jazz Piano of Kerry Politzer, yesterday (Nov 21st). In her second episode, she plays some songs, ending with a song off her latest album, You Took Me In.

Politzer studied classical piano for fourteen years, but after attending a Jazz concert at Keller Hall, she decided to study jazz. After competing in various Jazz contests, she finally recorded and release her debut album, Yearning in 2001.

Looking at her discography, it would seem that critics really enjoyed Watercolor, reaching as far as the BBC (who was very keen on her Brazilian-influenced Jazz CD).

Listening to her latest CD, I was instantly drawn to "Always", which is easiest the happiest song off the album. The trumpets (played by her husband, George Colligan) was a nice touch, keeping the song really upbeat.

I also liked "I Cried Wolf", which you can hear off her myspace.  EDIT: I originally thought this was the only song co-written with Kenny Lockwood (but that song is "Joseph").

You Took Me In was released October 2nd and can be bought from Amazon. If you're interested in hearing and downloading free music from Kerry Politzer, she's on CNET's Music Download.
