"Browsing has become second nature when it comes to looking for and buying music. (Amazon, CDBaby and Klicktrack: There are no better sites on the web in what they offer and when it comes to service, and I also have every music genre covered.)
My top finds so far of this year are: TWO TIMES THE TRAUMA, Hello Saferide , Emmon, Train Go Sorry.
Hello Saferide /" Introducing: Hello Saferide " is an album that connected with me more than the other way around. Being a huge fan of Kristin Hersh and Jill Sobule could be the reason ,"Nothing Like you" could have been written by Kristin Hersh. While Jill Sobule first Album would be a good musical referrence in style and lyrical feel, songs like "I kissed a Girl" and "supermodel" would be lyrically closer.
"Introducing: Hello Saferide" has more of an indie's feel with its lo fi production and cafe acoustic pop/rock/ folk music style. Lyrically to me its where reality bleeds into fantasy and then back out in to reality again . I could imagine her taking a contract out on God!
The album has made my world a better world, to me that is what music can do and does do.

"

Nice to meet you too

"Album has a nice coffee house pop/folk feel. Some of the songs are just brilliant (If I don't write this song, Long Lost Penpal, Highschool Stalker), and some fall flat. The strength is in the lyrics and the pop hooks. Not the best produced album I have heard.

If you like stripped down, clever pop, you should at least check out the myspace page they have and give them a listen."
