And so it's the three of them again. World wide madness, soundbites galore, the three, Martin.de , Martin.za and Dave (who is just Dave) discuss music, mullets, trends and of course the fine art of the perfect pop song.

Some info on some of the bands featured on tonight's show
Avandguard says about his new cd, 'Joe Henry, Elliot Smith, Robert Pollard and Alejandro Escovedo are some of the artists I've admired over the years. As a kid, my guitar teacher suggested I learn the guitar parts off 'Blow by Blow ' by Jeff Beck and 'Super Sessions' by Mike Bloomfield, Steve Stills and Al Kooper. 'Cartoon Hearts' has tried to pay a little homage to the artists I have copied from over the years.
David W Solomons tells us a little about his song featured on the cast, Lazy Guitar This basso ostinato is one that I have used so often that I cannot count the versions. It all started with a setting I made of a verse from Isaiah back in the mid 1970s! But this impro is very introspective and completely devoid of theology, philosophy or anything else to disturb the relaxing spirit.
Besides his fantastic set of pipes, there is another reason Xisco Ponce Jr's music sounds so wonderful, he manages to put together a stellar cast of music biz pros to help his cause, along with the help of producer Barry Coffing (gold record for hit single 'How Do You Talk to an Angel'). On guitars there is Larry Treadwell (Thomas Dolby), Deon Estus plays bass (George Michael, Elton John), Valerie Davis makes the background vocals (Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, Toni Braxton) something special, and Sammy Tormanen mans the drums (Transistor)…an impressive group of performers
Heather Leona was nominated as Best Scout/Feature Writer in the '2005 International Online Music Awards', hosted by International Online Music Magazine. She tells us about the writing and recording of her songs with her husband Brian Ross,
'We would sit together at night, after our daughters, Kenndra Kay and Angel, went to sleep and he would come up with a tune, and we would run with it. We began writing the lyrics together. After we had four songs written, we decided to record them in the studio. He said he had all of the instruments parts in his head, and he wanted to know if it would all sound as good as what he could hear in his own head. We began recording, and it was the experience was incredible!! All of the songs just flowed. We couldn’t believe how different a song can sound when all of the instruments blended and complimented one another'
The name Mongoloidian Glow is a reference to the pure & relaxed shine on the faces of those who experience true innocence. Listen to the music of Mongoloidian Glow and when you're done dancing and done laughing and done crying, you'll be standing smack dab in the middle of yourself with the look on your face of a warm Mongoloidian Glow
