"I want something peppy, something happy, something up-tempo. I want something snappy.": September 2012
http://jerrysteffen.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 30, 2012. And now for something completely. This alternative track isn't for everyone… but I have to admit that it's thoroughly bizarre and totally. Fitzpleasure" is a schizophrenic blend of bass-booming synthesizers, acoustic breaks and unhinged, falsetto, Gregorian-like vocals that seem to be sung in some made-up foreignish language. But, upon further review, the lyrics are indeed English and a bit disturbing to boot. Tralala, in your snatch fits pleasure, broom-shaped pleasure;.

"I want something peppy, something happy, something up-tempo. I want something snappy.": February 2013
http://jerrysteffen.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 28, 2013. Whether you know it or not, popular music is in the midst of a folk-rock revolution we haven't seen since the days when Joni Mitchell lived in a fine Laurel Canyon house with a couple of cats in her yard. The Staveley-Taylor siblings are kind of like if the Fleet Foxes had daughters who grew up in England. Think delicate Judy Collins vocals with tight Crosby, Stills and Nash harmonies. Mexico" begins with middle sis Jessica on acoustic guitar and lead vocals, then Emily and M...

"I want something peppy, something happy, something up-tempo. I want something snappy.": November 2012
http://jerrysteffen.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 14, 2012. You know that old "judging books" adage? Turns out that proverb works for band names too. As I was about to hit "play" on a song called "Plaster" from Beast Patrol, I was limbering up my neck for some serious head-banging while expecting to hear sounds akin to Megadeth meets Gargamel blaring from my speakers. Instead, just the opposite happened. Was a tune Vanessa had with her long before going on Patrol. 8220;‘Plaster’ came so quickly when I wrote it. Total ...Peace Love...

"I want something peppy, something happy, something up-tempo. I want something snappy.": August 2012

Friday, August 31, 2012. Jerry's Pick: "What Went Wrong". WHAT WENT WRONG"-UNTIL JUNE. I like this track. I'll admit, it took a few plays. Probably because I was, at first, listening intently to only the lyrics. Once I took a couple steps back, it began to coalesce. There's a brief 3-2-1 keyboard countdown and then the band immediately launches into a Coldplay-like jangly guitar barrage, backing off just in time to hear a heartbreaking plea: "Will you wait for me, when I come for you? Side note: Until Ju...

"I want something peppy, something happy, something up-tempo. I want something snappy.": July 2013
http://jerrysteffen.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 19, 2013. Jerry's Pick: "New Constellation". NEW CONSTELLATION"-TOAD THE WET SPROCKET. I've always been a sucker for a finely crafted pop-song with an upbeat, infectious hook. Well, the latest song to feature those ingredients comes from four guys who once orbited an alternative universe several light-years ago. Who could forget Toad the Wet Sprocket? By-the-way… "New Constellation" is the title track to a brand-new Toad the Wet Sprocket studio album that has a launch-date of September...

"I want something peppy, something happy, something up-tempo. I want something snappy.": January 2013
http://jerrysteffen.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 19, 2013. Are your ears tired? Looking for that perfect piece of poppy punk to raise your energy level several notches? Well, I just may have discovered the rock anthem of 2013! It's a tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick BOOM. Ing track called "Harlem" performed by three hyper Danes in Brooklyn who call themselves New Politics. Shake it like a bad girl up in Harlem! Harlem" is one of those tracks that works just as well as a Red Bull. Side effects may include heart palpitations, rhyt...
