The Ripple Effect: The Music Commentary Radio Show  

Good morning, waveriders, time for another of my favorite columns, our regular Ripple Round Up of some of the mounds of singles that wander on in through the Ripple doors. Today, however, we're going to do something a little different; we're going to keep the turntable turned off. Instead, we're going to dip into the growing stack of CD singles piled up so high on the Ripple desk, they seem to defy gravity. Let's see what a little digging uncovers.



Red Summer Sun (Formerly quarterlifeCRISiS) - Just a Picture b/w High Fashion/Another Memory

One of the things that makes reviewing singles so much fun is that we expect different things from a single than we do a full album. That's not to say that a great singles band can't also be a great album band, but singles are just inherently more fun. What we want from a single is a melody so infectious they'll never come up with a vaccine to stop it from growing and dividing inside your brain. We want something punchy and poppy and raucous, something to keep you bopping along the freeway as you're heading off on your day. With all that in mind, have I got a band for you.
