Side Note 1:

You can purchase the Album titled "Music inspired from the Story" at Amazon or Itunes. The star symbol * next to certain songs on my list are additional songs I purchased off Itunes to create my own specialized Itunes' playlists for "the Story". You can preview these additional songs on Itunes to see if they are to your liking (of course). The (x) next to the songs on the Bonus Playlist (Or Disc 3) suggest that the songs are merely average.

Hi,i don't no where in the world you are but in Australia we have an excellent radio station...Triple J...it's mainly Aussie bands that are new or have been around for ages but don't get there music played on commercial radio stations.I first heard Florence and the Machine on there a few years ago :)you could try to google online radio stations,this will introduce you to new music...i have lots i love...Imelda May,Khristian Mizzi and The Sirens,Three Blind Mice,Sweetie and The Swamp Dog,etc...



Another way is to join myspace,there are thousands of new,excellent bands on there,plus you can listen to there music...hope this helps :)
