TV Eyes Omnivore Release Review
Great songwriting, production, and the ability for an album to
feel as relevant and fresh now, as it did when it was released are the
foundations of what make an album great.
Obviously that’s a condensed description and there are other factors that go into it as well…but for all intents and purposes that pretty much
sums it up for me.
When it comes to the reissue of the self-titled offering
from TV Eyes, if we ask the question, “Is this a great album?” the answer is a
resounding YES. Whether it be the relevant Orwellian theme
(which we seem to be faced with now more than ever), or the meticulous effort
put into the detail of the arrangement of the songs, or just the impeccable
songwriting, the lone release from TV Eyes is one hell of an effort that begs
to be considered in the great album category.
It’s a crying shame there is only
one album from this power pop super group consisting of Jason Falkner, Roger
Manning, and Brian Reitzell. These guys
were way ahead of their time when they conceived this project yet sadly, missed
the 80’s revival train when the album finally came out in 2006 as a Japanese
import.

Chromeo Frequent Flyer Tour Review
Chromeo’s Frequent
Flyer tour landed in Asheville, NC on October 2nd 2014, bestowing a
heavy dose of FUNK on all that were there.
The Funkloardz came out in full force and left the Orange Peel scorched
from their blistering performance. I’ve
watched a lot of Chromeo performances on YouTube so I was coming in with high
expectations, but I had no idea how mind-blowing the performance would be. All I can say is that I left with a crater
between my shoulders.
