As for the album, things are coming along awesome so far. a song called “the best in me” is coming out awesome; i am super excited, as is everyone else. also, we did an electronic alternate version of a new song “alley cat”, a la erlend oye or the postal service, and it came out so good that we are spinning all kinds of ideas around it. who knows. but for sure, this is going to be a dancy, fun album, and i am excited about how things are turning out.Ԛ

Firefox 2, IE 7

October 18, 2006 By Bryce Jacobson Leave a Comment

These two new web browsers are here, (Firefox is almost here), and they are a breath of fresh air. If you haven’t been using Firefox, well then you have been missing out on a great web experience. Firefox 2 is almost out, but you can get it here right now, and it will auto update to the latest version when it comes out. As far as IE 7, if your still using IE 6 you should see an auto update for IE 7 soon if you haven’t already. IE 7 is a huge step forward compared to IE 6 but its still no Firefox. So head on out and get the new browser of your choice!

Turn Off The Stars – Turn Off the Stars

October 18, 2006 By Tyler Hayes Leave a Comment

Turn Off The Stars Self Titled

Artist: Turn Off The Stars
Album: Turn Off The Stars
Label: Credential Recordings
Purchase: Tower Records
Release Date: August 15, 2006

Overall: 9.0
Music: 9.0
Lyrics: 9.5
Production: 9.0

With the accessibility that even your parents could get into enjoy. Combined with the ability to add depth and passion to every track, â┚¬Ã‹Å“Turn Off the Starsâ┚¬Ã¢”ž¢ has what it takes to compete in the flooded alt rock genre.

The vocals are probably what stand out the most on this record. The singer has a voice which is so familiar yet has a distinction all of its own. Songs like â┚¬Ã…”If Onlyâ┚¬? and â┚¬Ã…”Pleaseâ┚¬? show off the range he is capable of and itâ┚¬Ã¢”ž¢s impressive.

The best way to describe the music on the self titled CD would be passionate, which fits the vocal style perfectly. The music is very dynamic, usually soft and low key in the verses while strong and intense in the choruses.

While not many, there are a few tracks on the album that do drag a bit. This band and the record have a possibility of coming across a little bit bland. This is a disc that has taken me, as it will probably take a lot people several listens before they fully enjoy all this record has to offer. If youâ┚¬Ã¢”ž¢re tired of the same music in your collection hereâ┚¬Ã¢”ž¢s a band that deserves some of your time, go check the new record â┚¬Ã…”Turn Off The Starsâ┚¬?

Tracklisting

1. I wasnâ┚¬Ã¢”ž¢t ready
2. Please
3. Falling Into You
4. Hours & Days
5. 30 Days
6. Getaway
7. Nowhere Skies
8. Lately
9. Usual to me
10. If Only
11. Brightside
