Lifehouse Interview with Matt Nathanson joining in.
As many of you know back in 2003 Nicole and Jeff interviewed Michael Johns, then known as Michael Lee. He was the lead singer in a band called The Rising. As I’ve said over and over again, today’s emerging artists turn up as tomorrow’s big stars. Michael is no exception. Jeff had a copy of th advance of The Rising’s album and unfortunately we think it went down with his car which was destroyed while being shipped to Cali where Jeff now works for E. When he was eliminated in one of those “American idol shockers” we were all saddened. On a brighter note though, he can get to making his own album that much sooner. Look for it in 2009. We will.
No Love For Ludo
By Alison Sikes
Island Def Jam Records has a reputation for producing incredible hip-hop music acts and it should stay that way. Their latest venture into the world of pop-punk music is a band called Ludo. Ludo’s debut album You’re Awful, I Love You is less than stellar. The cause of Ludo’s mediocrity is that their song lyrics do not match up with the actual music. Ludo thrives on creating moog-heavy, upbeat accompaniment but their lyrics tend to be more “emo” than happy, For example, their song “Love Me Dead” refers to a girl’s body as a coffin and in “Drunken Lament,” Ludo claims “self-loathing is quaint.” On top of this issue, the vocals on the album are too commercial and unoriginal; each song sounds just the same. Ludo’s Your Awful, I Love You should be retitled “We’re Awful, I Don’t Love You. “
