The Ripple Effect: The Music Commentary Radio Show  

Back in May’s edition of Rumors Heard in MySpace, I wrote about an Irish band that we stumbled on called Killing Lazarus and I described the music that they had posted on their site. In the weeks that followed that posting, the band was kind enough to send a completed copy of self titled disc and the thing has gradually become part of my being. Sure, all of the songs are posted on their MySpace page, but I find it a complete and utter nuisance to lug my PC with me in the car or on a backpacking excursion just to listen to the music. The extension cord alone makes it impractical. To really grasp the depth, and breadth, and whole wonderful scope of the music, I needed to have a physical copy of the disc to pop in and out of the CD player. It’s quirky and old school of me, I know . . . but it’s how I operate. But this isn’t about me. The whole point of this post is to talk about the music . . . the subtle complexities, the artistic expressions, and the soulful creativity behind seven songs that very easily could have been lost amongst the billions of cyber songs streaming across the internet.
