2007-01-23 05:19:01
This is a video slideshow that helps to bring to life this beautifully touching little song from Zane "fingers" Savage. He is no savage in fact, nothing could be further from the truth.

We have recently launched a few other blogs that you may find interesting. The Galaxy of our record label continues to expand. Firstly, I have my own personal blog that I call Herrin’s Music Journal, but it encompasses a lot of stuff like poetry and an explanation of the songs on my album as well as some comedy relief and then some environmental ideas. Then there is an Astronomy Blog , that gives us a chance to post any info and media on astronomy. Also, we have recently launched the Indie Musicians Blog as a resource to help their success by delivering small useful pieces of effective information. If you are an indie musician help us create a great info blog and take the Indie Musicians Survey. These last two are fresh off the line so any input or feedback would be welcomed.

Remember The Butterfly Ball?
2007-01-23 05:19:01
I remember as a child watching this awesome video clip called "The Butt e rfly Ball " (wikipedia link). The song was written in 1974 by Roger Glover and it was animated by Alan Aldridge and had many colorful characters and animals in it. The singer and guitar player in it was a frog with an awesome rock voice. Alan Aldridge is a UK artist, born in 1943. During the 1960s and 1970s he was responsible for a great many album covers, and helped create the graphic style of that era. He designed a series of science fiction book covers for Penguin Books. You can visit his website and see some of his most excellent artwork at www.alanaldridge.com The great thing is that Alan recently gave Blossomhead permission to use lyrics from one of his books, that greg has transformed into a great song called Cassandra.  PEACE MAN!Download Cassandra here. To hear more tracks from Blossomheads new album go to www.blossomhead.com
