| Last Chance To Solve The MB Puzzler |
|
|
 Several months ago I added a members-only feature called the MB Puzzler on the right hand column of this website. Well, apparently, our members are much too busy with their music careers to be bothered with such trifles as word games, right? So out of the goodness of my heart, I'm opening up the puzzler to anybody who cares to solve it. Click "read more" below, solve the band-name anagram, find the secret link, solve the puzzle and win prizes! Well, the first two who send me the correct answers to the puzzler will get some free music. Are you up to the challenge? - Mitch

 SRP calls itself, 'an old fashioned ass kicking rock n' roll show' and they're our latest addition to the Original Artists / Hard Rock category of our Band Links section. SRP believes in the spectacle of Rock N Roll and having a good time. This Ferndale area band includes local rock veterans Fred Milner (vocs/guitar) Kevin "Kave" Cavanaugh (drums/vocals), Darryl Benson (sound & light), Brian "Woody" Wood (bass, vocals) and Shawn Allendorf (lead guitar, vocs) who's played with such local notables as Benny & The Jets, Mariner and Mitch Ryder. The title cut from their most recent release, titled "Just For Fun", is now available on iTunes. It's a good-time, bar-thumpin' locally-produced tune and a bargain at 99 cents.

| Who's Got A Golden God? Ain't Tellin. |
|

 One of the highlights we caught at the Metro Music Expo was the performance of one of the Fox Rocks 2008 finalists, Garden City's AYNTELLYN (pronouced Ain't Tellin' - ed: do you know how hard it is to find a band on the internet when they get fancy with the spelling?). Of particular interest were the lead vocals as delivered by Dino Johnson. Johnson has been blessed with the golden locks and a golden baritone that screams CLASSIC ROCK! - which should make them a shoe-in for the grand prize - an opening slot for Lynard Skynard at DTE on September 21st, 2008. In fact, Johnson's voice is such a draw that even when he sang karaoke at the DJ's Pro Audio booth he drew a sizable crowd.

Note: UPDATE: ****Ayntellyn WINS!!!**** the Fox Rocks 2008 Battle Of The Bands and will go on to open for Lynard Skynard!

| National Ghost's Ice Cream Head Added To MB Videos |
|
 Spent a couple of days at the Metro Music Expo this weekend and took in a bunch of live performances, including Graham Strachan's latest project National Ghost which performed on the Lounge Stage this past Sunday afternoon. They played a bunch of selections off their forthcoming debut which is slated for release at Jacoby's on November 1st - so mark your calendars. One particular song they performed, a little ska ditty called "Ice Cream Head", is a bona fide ear worm that has infected our household ever since I recorded it on video (pls forgive the camera work).
