Captain #1-The Humble / Captain#1/Enoch-Color What You Want

Captain#1-The Humble (2007)


Athens-based Captain #1's sound is the product of Tim Denson, formerly of Starlite Motel. The Humble's tracks sparkle with not only twinkling acoustic guitars in open tunings, but glockenspiels, tambourines, maracas, and sometimes what sounds like a well-handled kazoo. Perfect low-key, mellow, indie pop.

Captain #1/Enoch-Color What You Want (2005)

2006's Color What You Want is a split-EP from Captain #1 and Fort Myers, Florida's Enoch Bledsoe. Enoch's sound is very folky and sometimes aggressive, providing an interesting contrast but a beautiful accompaniment to Captain #1.
Tracks #1-5 belong to Tim Denson and Captain #1; tracks #7-11 are Enoch Bledsoe's. Track #6 is an instrumental featuring a harmonica, performed by both artists.

Alan Madej - 11 Love Songs


If you like The Beatles, Marc Bolan, early David Bowie, or are interested in a really solid local guy from our backyard, give this a listen; 11 Love Songs was the first Alan Madej record I heard and I therefore think it's a good place to start.
Madej is a 28-year old indie musician from Cleveland, Ohio. Lazily commanding a guitar, piano, and an folky vocal track, Madej delivers an intimate but universal album. 11 Love Songs is a collection of feel-good strummy pop the way it should be done. Don't resist the urge to giggle or hold hands.

If you like 11 Love Songs, please support Alan Madej by purchasing the album. (If the music wasn't enough fun, the albums themselves are as cute as anything--each cd is hand-signed by Madej and the packaging hand-assembled.) www.myspace.com/alanmadej

My personal favorites from 11 Love Songs include tracks 3, 7, 8, and 11.

Enjoy.
