kirbyourmusic: Radio Virgin

"In the beginning of time there was quiet. It was an erie calm that held on as long as it could across the whole universe. Then...Bam! There was a gnarly explosion. So gnarly that when the dust cleared there was rock. Then, millions of years later, there was rock music!"
-Radio Virgin

Radio Virgin, a Chicago and LA-based music group has really caught my attention over the past 3 months, and it's not just because one of my friends is a guitarist for the band (although I thank

him for introducing me to his band!). When I listen to their music, it evokes a style-fusion that you don't see much nowadays. . .a kind of 60s psychedelic funk in a 21st century life. . .displaced in time but rightly so. They make you fall in love with them through that kind of Zen-like feeling and incantation of psychedelic kings and queens like Mr. Hendrix, The Beatles, and Janis Joplin but with a 21st century ambiance with the likes of John Mayer and Adam Levine. . .This is a band I hope you all enjoy and support (as I will/do!)

You can find them on Facebook (become a fan!) and on MySpace (www.myspace.com/thehellavision) to friend them and listen to their amazing music!!!

kirbyourmusic: Johnny Dangerous

Okay. So I'm not usually into the whole "sex me, sex me" type of music but this song is so damn catchy!!! Although this song is about a year old I find myself constantly coming back to it. . .it seems to always find me. I first heard it on the Logo network's NewNowNext Music Show some time ago, and in the words of India.Arie "found myself immediately intrigued by him". . .lol. The artist is Johnny Dangerous, a Chicago-based entertainer. Johnny tackles the issues within his own experiences with censorship, the gay media, the War, suburban swingers and cheating lovers. If I had to sum up his style, it would be an electro-pop rap sound that frames Johnny's sex-heavy rhymes like a dirty sanchez on a '70s pornstar. The single I would like for you to hear is called "Dirty is the New Black". I really like him and hope you enjoy him too!
