The tenets of the Advanced Theory are clear. The genius of Advanced artists has evolved past the point of ordinary people’s understanding. Advanced artists wear sunglasses indoors. They favor leather jackets. They insist on putting their pictures on the covers of their albums. And when they make ostensibly baffling decisions or pronouncements (often involving musical theater), it is not a joke. Except when it is an Advanced joke, and we don’t have room to get into that here.

Dave Smalley is the most Advanced man to come out of the ’80s hardcore scene.

XOXO - C'est la Vie (CD EP, 24 Hour Service Station, Pop)
A short little EP (only 25 minutes long) full of playful melodic pop. We rarely review EPs...and only in cases when the music is really exception. This disc most certainly falls into that category. C'est la Vie features some fantastic pop tunes presented simply without unnecessary fanfare. The vocals are particularly appealing...and the arrangements are kept to a bare minimum which allows the listener to concentrate on the vocal melodies and lyrics. Seven killer tracks here including "Fly Superman Fly," "Done and Done," "A Song for the Reminiscent," and "Merry Times." TOP PICK - BabySue.com

Something a bit different from our usual offerings, 24 Hour Digital presents the Gods Of Fire holiday release "Hanukkah Gone Metal" !!! It's the Hebrew answer to Trans-Siberian Orchestra!

The new Pocket single "Beautiful Gray" Feat. Dave Smalley (Down By Law, Dag Nasty, ALL) now has a video!

Enjoy this NO budget clip that Dave and Pocket whipped up with the aid of a web cam, Pocket's own hand-held camera, a backyard fire pit and the flashing lights of Los Angeles.

The "Beautiful Gray" EP features remixes by Styrofoam, GD Luxxe and The Message.

Today's Top Tune is a free song a day, from KCRW's all Music Channel, that represents a cross section of KCRW's eclectic music format. Tracks selected are chosen from recent and upcoming releases as well as songs performed live on Morning Becomes Eclectic.

Congratulations Pocket!
