Today’s episode features music by Blinky Blinky Computerband, 6ct Humour, Paranoid, Tristesse de la Lune, Alphaville, Shiny Darkness, Sub Optimal, Equatronic, Rare Fracture, Neuroticfish, My Secret Machine, Bill & Murray, Dawnfine, Nexus-6, Ravenous, Biomekkanik, Andy Bell, Leæther Strip, Diary Of Dreams, Clicker, Essexx, The Thompson Twins, :Silizium:, Telekon, Jules Verne Theory, Pleasures Remain, NoyceTM, and The Kolour Kult!
It’s music time again! Why do I do this? Well, in the hopes of introducing people to new synth-based music (EBM, Futurepop, Synthpop, Synthwave, Darkwave, Industrial, Industrial Dance, Electro, etc). So give the bands a listen and if you like what you hear, then go and pay for their album and support the bands!
NOTES: 1) I own (as in paid for, or was gifted) all of the music that I feature. I also attend as many local shows that I can to support bands when they’re on tour. Please do the same and support music! 2) Unless I’m doing a themed Music Time!, then all songs are from MediaMonkey being on shuffle and I put them here in the order MediaMonkey plays them for me (exceptions only if MediaMonkey duplicates a band during the shuffle or there is no video on YouTube for the song).

While traveling is always fun, it’s always great to finally get home. It was a long trip going after the monsoon with mostly a bust. A really cool storm in the distant south of Show Low, AZ and some rain and rainbows in Albuquerque. But the scenery of the desert and mountains definitely compensated for the general lack of storms. Of course AZ lit up after we left. LOL
So I’m home and some home music is good today…
I get to see these guys on 7/29 in Houston!

So apparently today is “Fool’s Paradise Day.” Whatever that means. I can’t imagine anything being paradise if it’s run by fools or inhabited by nothing but fools. Then again… this is an election year and we seem to be surrounded by fools.
So let’s listen to some “fools” music and start it off with a song about this day.

There was a rumor floating around that Halovox has new music coming out. A few weeks ago I posted another song and Halovox posted on my thread that they were, in fact, working on new music. I hope everyone else is as excited as I am to hear new Halovox music!
