Music from My Mailbox

This weekend seemed like a good time to clean out the Licorice Pizza mailbox. As daunting as that task seemed at first, it turned out it was mostly filled with the usual cheap Viagra ads and pleas from widowed South African heiresses. Once all that was deleted, I was able to sort through the good stuff and see what kind of new music I could check out.

Turns out there were a good variety of things; like usual something for most tastes. One of the most interesting finds was O’Death, a New York band that combines elements of bluegrass and jug band music to create something sort of creepy. A very interesting listen, though.

I was also pleased to see some new music from The Sword, who is currently out on tour with Metallica. This could be the exposure these guys need to break out.

Like always, follow the links for more info.
