New Songs: The new the track titled ‘Sittin’ At the Bar‘ by Rehab is starting to get some buzz. Rehab hails from Atlanta and will definitely appeal to fans who have Everlast and Beck in their record collection.

And don’t forget to listen to ‘Angels On The Moon‘ by Thriving Ivory. This could be the summer song and will find its place on TV and multiple radio formats.

A new track called ‘Its Not Over‘ by Carolina Liar is finding its way on alternative radio. The track has a nineties vibe and I wouldn’t doubt that band is influenced by Soul Asylum.

Blender Mag Looking Grim: Instead of analyzing Britney’s fate, you would think Blender would analyze their own. How will it end? Blender’s ad pages are down 25%, and and each issue is less than 100 pages. “When the Reaper passes by The Blender Theater, it sees more authors speaking than bands playing. They’re betting the house on stripped down girls on Maxim.com instead. Kent Brownridge is going to have some ‘splainin’ to do to the fat cats who backed him on this one.” (TDS via Magazine Death Pool)

These magazine don’t take chances. They don’t take music reviews seriously. Just recently Blender gave the Black Crowes record a mediocre review without even listening to it. They have no vision and no passion. When passion is thrown to the curb then success becomes impossible. Ever watch the movie ‘Final Destination’ where death finds you? Well, in this case, these mags are finding death. How does putting Tila Tequila on your cover position a mag for success? If you want nude photos of Tila, go to the internet. Anyone who wants to get in business with Tila is looking for instantaneous gratification only to be waiting for an immediate KNOCKOUT!

The music mags don’t focus on new music anymore and don’t even attempt to find an artist that they like and promote the hell of out them. They certainly can’t build a business using the same content that can be found on Perez and MTV. It all points towards the ‘creative drought’….
