Music reviewed by Nerdy Frames! (⌐■_■)

Check out Nerdys take on my music. 

First review I've ever had ✌(◕‿-)✌ I'm going to celebrate this.

My interview @ the fAb NZ blog NerdyFrames is up, with a supremely eloquent intro by Nerdy himself:

"Here is a fantastic woman with a unique voice that has been echoing in my mind (as well as many others from Generation X) since the mid 90s when she released her hits Near the Black Forest and Two to Tango. Her love for Jazz mixed in with her husky vocals, erotic subtext makes her stand out from the offerings of that time period. Vanessa Daou is back and although that the playing field pertaining to the music industry is different today; she has optimism, clout, experience, wisdom and knowledge as well as self-awareness on how it is now. She started doing music with her then Husband Peter Daou who was behind engineering and production (also related to novelist Erica Jong who became an close confidant to Vanessa) between the two under the name The Daou. This led to her working in various other genres, which included house; especially having remixes done by Danny Tenaglia! Her debut album Zipless was on MCA as well as her follow up Slow to Burn, but during that time a restructuring was occurring unbeknownst to Vanessa who was touring Zipless which led to layoffs at the label, artists dropped from their contracts and that all important creative differences thing that runs rampant in music. Lucky for Vanessa she survived the ordeal thanks in part to her lawyer that implemented a clause to have her maintain creative control and not have her bondage to a 7 record deal contract. Today she is now an indie artist releasing music on her own and having tastemakers like myself promote her efforts and curating those who didn’t discover her the first time around In this exclusive interview, we talk to the lovely enchantress herself, now wiser and still beautiful."

I was pretty excited when I saw that they gave me a little shout out!! :)! Small victories will soon by big ones!

The Soundmen are back with a new twist on their signature “Big Beach” sound in their new remix for French Horn Rebellion‘s smash hit “Caaalifornia (ft. Ghost Beach)”. They take the original sunny ode to the left coast and slow it waaay down for cool SoCal nights filled with crackling bon fires, crashing waves, and tender romance.

SPF 5000 are a darling trio consisting of members Rob Phillips, Daymeyn Gantt and Amy Douglas….Amy Douglas you say? Why yes the very one that has graced our beloved blog for years now with her different appearances on other artists tracks including the new one from All Dom Wrong. - Nerdy Frames, NZs Electronic/Indie Mouthpiece
