Free New Albums

Free Music Post-Turkey Day

Our weekly connection to the free music. Another slow week before the Holiday explosion. This week Sixx:AM (what a solo effort - wink, wink), Scott Weiland, Fireman and Surf City. That about does it.

Pice Video

Watch It Again

Omaha's next big thing, the folk-pop duo Pice, released their latest video right here back in July. The video was on American Morning. Two Hearts, One House was the latest single from this long time grassroots fav. Perfect harmony between this lovely husband/wife group.

Addressing The Threesome

Addressing The Threesome

You may have noticed on your visits here that 3 different addresses can show up in the address box above you. Flowfeel.com, avantchicago.com and flowfeel.blogs.com are all names and addresses that lead to this site. What gives you ask? (Yes we're answering some email again) Well Flowfeel.com (feel the flow?) is a domain address we've had for about 8 years and used to be the name of this site. But 2 years ago we decided we liked Avant/Chicago better, so we gobbled up that domain. Avant/Chicago fits closer to what the content of the site is. Flowfeel.blogs.com is the address that the hosting service uses to hold the site. Again all 3 addresses go to the same place, but we prefer Avantchicago.com since that's the name of the site. Some day we may condense them, but for now feel free to use which ever you want. And as always - much love to our readers.

R.I.P. Smooth Jazz, Round Two

Yacht Rocks Foundation Dead?

R.I.P. Smooth Jazz, Round Two

There is no shortage of music marketed as Smooth Jazz that is scraping-the-bottom terrible—computer sequenced to the point of puerile sterility, plastic in tone and sensibility, as repetitive as the hiccups. Criticizing this music is too easy and too boring. Like the music itself. But the real indictment of Smooth Jazz is that even the good stuff is exhausted.

A Dandy NYE

End Of Year Concert

Dandy Warhols at the Metro for NYE. Fairly well priced, but you'll have to save cash to pay for drinks at the Metro.
