Do You Enjoy 80's New Wave Music?

Well, I never did. But...I don't necessarily need to love a piece of art (whether writing, music, painting, movies, etc) to still be able to admire the skill or craft or talent that an artist has. Australian musician Stephen Carmichael dropped me a message asking if I do reviews. I never had before, but then again, no one had ever asked me. I told him that from the looks of his site, I doubted it would be my kind of thing and I generally won't post about things I don't like.

Anyhow, I did check out his video. Naturally, it isn't to my personal taste. However, I did think it showed enough professionalism that people who do like such music might like to discover him, and I think it can be cool to help relatively unknown artists reach an untapped audience. So, is it your kind of music?

  3. I've been asked to review stuff that wasn't to my taste either, and the best I could do was write about the author style, character/world development, overall plot progress.

    I do like this music, and at least the video isn't a cookie cutter stock creation. The artists has potential. I'd listen to other songs before making a decision.

    Thanks for the introduction Ted.

  5. It's not really my type of music either, but man, I love the masks they wore in the video.
