Recent Band Discovery -- The Cinematics

It's hard to sift through the crapola that is the music industry as of late...95% of the stuff that's out now is pure junk IMO.  And who has time to go to the music store these days?  Sometimes I wish I was a DJ so I could get paid to listen to music.  Regardless, I've been trying to branch out some lately; TLC and I recently discovered a late night show on Fuse TV that caters more to indie rock and whatnot...The Dive.  It comes on reeeeaaaallly late though.  Speaking of which...

It's unreal how hard it is to find music channels that actually play music videos any more.  Even fuse has started showing movies and other non-music related BS.

Regardless, a recent discovery is a Scottish troop: The Cinematics (MySpace profile with sample songs here).  Even better is that they are coming to Charlotte on the 22nd of March...very much looking forward to it.

	Jason Smith said: So what's up with all these Jason's? :) Yo Jay, thanks for the tip on the Cinematics. Some music I've enjoyed lately: The Ark - One of Us is Gonna Die Young (stupid but fun), Teddybears w/Iggy Pop - Punkrocker, OK Go - What To Do, OK Go - You're So Damn Hot, and a "rediscovered" one: Chris Cornell - Sunshower (that white boy can sing pain).

About Jayson Knight

Jayson Knight was clueless to the computer programming world until he took a C++ class in college. The rest is proverbial history. He has been building applications targeting the .Net framework for 7 years, focusing mainly on internet technologies and database driven web application development.

Most recently he left the world of Corporate IT to finish up his degree in Chemistry, with an eye on Medical School and an Anesthesiology residency program. Read this post for more information.

He is also a Community Server MVP: Community Server is the software that runs this site, plus many others on the web. For more information, check out http://csmvps.com.

When he finds time to pry himself away from his computer and university studies, he can be found on the mountain bike trails when it's warm, and on the ski slopes when it's cold.
