I have a lot of lesser-known artists in my music collection. My musical tastes are all over the place and I would be hard-pressed to find a single artist I could really call my favorite. Through the whole mess that is my music collection. however, are acts and groups and individual musicians whom I admire. That's really what it amounts to for me; enjoyment and admiration. If I don't get at least one of those things from you, you simply don't belong in my library.
So it's with great elation that I came upon a group that I'd forgotten about

Meet the Flecktones
Flecktones, meet the Flecktones. They're a modern blu-bop instrumental group. (The band name is actually a play on the name of the 1960s rock band Dick Dale and the Del-Tones and has no relation to the Flintstones. However, for some reason, I always manage to say "Fleckstones" instead of "Flecktones".)
I am utterly excited to see a live performance tonight made by this group of talented musicians. The current lineup, which is the original lineup, consists of Béla Fleck, Victor Wooten, Future Man, and Howard Levy. Saxophonist Jeff Coffin played with the group from 1998 to 2010, but will no

The standard edition features just the album, the special edition includes the album and the best-of remixes, while the super deluxe edition contains the aforementioned album and best-of remixes in a limited steel box, along with a 240-page photo booklet,
Artist Review: Glee Cast
I wouldn't call myself a "gleek," but you can definitely find me watching the latest episode of Glee after it becomes available online.

They (Rock) the People
Every once in a while a band comes along that is considered the "voice of a generation". They promote certain ideas, morals and principles that the youth can congregate behind to give the dinosaur generations a collective middle finger. They attack the old method of doing things and strive, often to no avail, to recreate the world in their own image.
