I try to stay on top of the music world, at least from my point of view, as thoroughly as possible. But I freely admit, sometimes the music scene gets carried away, and will unleash more stuff than I can keep track of, or have time for. It's not exactly hard work to keep a music blog up, but when one has to maintain a professional/social/family life as well, I must admit, sometimes I can't report everything to thee avid readers.
Which is why this new segment has spawned. Meet the Voilà! Music Omnibus. Take a ride on our little transit system, reader, as we drive you down the streets of the music scene; a scenic tour for your eager ears of the little happenings here and there, or the mentionings that weren't mentioned. Be it band break ups, pre-album gossip, new songs, or new tours, you can find it all. Just order up one ticket with the Omnibus! Here we go!
As Per The Usual
Nightmare Of You's Latest Demos
Now this is just silly, guys! Slow down! I can't keep track of all the new music; it's ridiculous. Nightmare Of You asked me to listen to them on Myspace before their signing to a label and the debut of their first album. Now, a BANG! EP later, they're preparing for their upcoming sophomore album by unloading a ton of new material on their Ourstage account. I can't keep up with it all! But you can: check out the latest NOY song by Nightmare Of You's page right here.
It's Official...
The American Dollar's Lastest Album Released
It's been a while for listeners, but FINALLY!, the post-rock duo The American Dollar have released their latest album, A Memory Stream. The band promises us some more new stuff soon as well, so I suppose we'll be patient and see. In the mean time, snag A Memory Stream for yourself on iTunes or on Amazon right about now. And drop by their Myspace for some of the new material, as well as a few other lovely tunes.
Welcome To The U.S. of A.Lykke Li's Debut Album Is Stateside

And finally, all that patience has payed off for those of us USA'ians. Lykke Li's debut album, Youth Novels, has finally debuted in North America, and should be at fine retailers, as well as online outlets (like Insound!), as of yesterday. Let excitement ensue, please.
Demo's Galore
The Story of PlayRadioPlay! and the New Material
Maybe he's just trying to annoy me (unlikely). Maybe he's trying to humour me (possibly). Maybe he's just been busy lately (definitely). In any event, Dan Hunter, formally PlayRadioPlay!, has just released his latest demo, "The Newcomer Of Seven Years," for free download on his Myspace yesterday. That's on top of his current tour with Secondhand Serenade and My American Heart, which is just about to wrap up, right before his next tour with Family Force 5, lasting until Halloween. Drop by his Myspace, say hi, and check out PlayRadioPlay!'s music from their latest album, Texas, as well as a brand spankin' new demo!
You Say Wizards! We Say Justice!
Brand New Wizard Rock Compilation Aids Marriage Equality
Oh, those silly wrockers. As if it wasn't insane enough that some of the biggest names in Wizard Rock wrocked Chicago to its knees at the massive wizard rock festival, Terminus, two weekends ago, a shining beacon (AKA: Lumos) comes to light the way to brand new music. Wizards and Muggles Rock For Social Justice: Volume 2 has just been released to the public, and is available on iTunes. Hard copies won't be around 'til Christmas, but you should certainly snag this now. Not only does this compilation feature the likes of Harry and the Potters, The Whomping Willows, Gred and Forge, Oliver Boyd & The Remembralls, and The Nifflers, but all proceeds go to The Harry Potter Alliance and Marriage Equality Rhode Island, who are trying to make a difference in our silly world. Search "wizards and muggles" on iTunes, or head over here for more information!
Honestly Bored
Marry A Thief's Latest Demos
Marry A Thief have been busy cookin' up a meal for their listeners. As if it wasn't tasty enough to know they were whipping up brand new material, and performing locally around the Carolinas, Marry A Thief has deigned it fit that we hear a little. They remixed their song, "Every Little Star" with friend Aaron Robertson, and have also released a computer-electro new song, "Honestly Bored," both of which are up for your listening pleasure on their Myspace.
Last stop friends. That's it for the Omnibus' first go, and I say, it seemed to be quite a good one! Keep your ear to those speakers, but fear not! Next time something slips by the wayside, The Music Omnibus will be here to catch it to you, and show it off in style.
