   About "R.I.P." Roger Houston
  Today the music world mourns the loss of a unique artist. I'm sorry to say that Roger Houston has commited musical suicide. I met him at an open mic nite, and he was a really nice guy. He would lovingly cover The Cure and Radiohead, as well as doing his own songs. But it's no secret that recently he went a little crazy, and one nite he played a song so bad that well, he hung himself with a guitar string. The lyrics were found on his retro iMac in pdf form: "To whom it may concern, I don't wanna be a big rock star, I'd rather die. I just wanna say goodbye to my fans, and thank you thank you thank you. I leave the rights to my songs to Mr. Johnny Stefani because he's the only one who understands me. I also leave him my Myspace password, which is XXXXXX. Don't cry, don't let the music die. Love, Roger." So here I am taking over his web page and I promise to keep the music alive. I quick made up this vid to celebrate Roger's creative genius. The song is "TV Land" from the disc "Lies Worth Believing" which you can download here. Enjoy and comment please... Peace, Johnny

Hey,

I’ve just uploaded two new tunes!

One is called 'Leave It at the Door'
The other is 'Beautiful Creation'

I’d really, really love to know what you think of them!

I’ve also just given my MySpace a brand new crazy look!

Don’t forget to review & vote for me on Meer Music* and xfm uploaded**!

The fact that Meer Music are about to start Phase 2 with ABC Radio which will transmit all over the U.S.A on June the 30th has nothing to do with it! (Not much!!!)

* http://www. meermusic. com/crazymajority
**http://www. xfmuploaded. co. uk/thecrazymajority

Thank you for all your words of encouragement!

=)

Martin

This is the start of a new era and you’re all invited to join in on the craziness!!! Next stop taking this baby LIVE!!!!

OLD TIME RELIJUN!!!
I am so excited about this. Old Time Relijun is a band that was born in Olympia, Washington, in 1995 and has been released ever since on the legendary "K Records" label (yes, the same label whose symbol Kurt Cobain tattooed on his forearm). But don't think of them as essentially nineties: this band stuck out like a sore, bleeding thumb from their contemporaries back then and they've only grown and transformed ever since. Too psychotic to be clearly categorized within punk or hardcore, Old Time Relijun plays an wildly energetic and fun and danceable ecstatic frenzy that is as close to noise as it is to some kind of Gypsy/Klezmer/South American hybrid. Singer Arrington De Dionyso screams and wails in Portuguese and Spanish and Italian as well as English. I've been listening to them for a while but I've never seen them live and word is, they're way better live than on their CDs. So check it.
