SadSeptemberSongs: September 12, 2010

IT'S FINALLY THAT TIME!!!

Ladies and Gentleman, a long long time ago there was a band: Splashdown that created some wicked 90's poptastic electronic inspired songs. I had a huge hard-on for this band thanks to a guy who worked at my friends local college radio station in Ottawa. Actually I started liking a crap-load of music thanks to this awesome fellow and my friend.

However, a few years later they broke up and I was devastated. I hoped with all my heart that something would come of them again in some form, and luckily, something DID come of them all...

The lead singer, Melissa Kaplan went solo doing some video game vocals and I believe a few movies/documentary gigs as well. When she finally put out her first album, I was most definitely one of the first to order it.

Pretty much every song on the album is amazing and I urge you all to get a copy of it ASAP. Her project is called: Universal Hall Pass, and her two albums are "Mercury" and "Subtle Things".

Here is my favourite sad song on the album, "Misdirected"

If you need a little sampler, this is the song that first got me excited about the album...it's not sad, but it's BRILLIANT and I've never grown tired of hearing it time and time again. It's called Dragonfly. LOVE IT!!!
