Radiojive Returns!!!!!

The search for a new server has been successful. Due to certain circumstances, Radiojive had to sign off temporarily until a new virtual home for it could be found.

But the sounds are back! Click on the (revised) iPhone/iPod link in the top right corner of my blog to log on (or at the end of this article). At the time of this writing, the radiojive.com page had yet to be updated.

As humbling as it is to ask for financial assistance from listeners, I'm hoping that Earl will pass along a Paypal account we can use to help prevent the removal of Radiojive from the cyberspace airwaves again. I shall report back with any further news. People are paying for satellite radio, so why not a quality internet station like RJ.

In the meantime, enjoy the sounds of Radiojive once again.

June 26, 2012 - Seems that Radiojive.com's return was temporary, as it once again fell silent. But do not despair, The sounds of RJ will return. Stay tuned......

Cold Cave - Dark synthpop freebie

Anyone miss those darling dark/goth synthpop bands of the 80's?  Cold Cave should satify that empty hole in the dark part of you mind nostalgic for some darkwave electronica.

Recently signed to Matador, they've released a full length called Cherish The Light Years, after a few indie cassette releases over the last few years.

I wanted to bring attention to a b-side free download available from Matador. If you find yourself thinking "if this is a b-side, I wonder what they bring to their A game?", then be sure to pick up or download the new album.

Cold Cave - Believe In My Blood

For more info (and sounds), check out the band's Matador page and their MySpace page.

PEACE in our time

You can add these Birmingham, England boys to that never-ending "next big thing" list. Advance word has it that these lads are about to insinuate themselves into the iPod playlists of American teenagers very soon. A recent signing to Columbia Records shows that they are well on their way.

They were another "New Band Of The Day" back in January, in Paul Lester's Guardian column, where he compared them to a cross between Foals and Wu Lyf.  In March, they turned up on the NME's "Radar Band of The Week". Supporting acts like The Vaccines, they are part of an exciting new scene of indie rock.

You should be able to find some demo videos and independently produced things on their website. Be forewarned about a Google search - there are a few bands named Peace, or with the word "Peace" in them. But perseverance will pay off with some interesting work. In the meantime, here's a taste of the band. (Dare I say, "give PEACE a chance"?) 

Here's the video for their first single release, "Follow Baby". Enjoy.
