Ever heard of Digg.com? No? *Shaking Head* surely you have.

If you ever contemplate on submitting your website as a news worthy item or have something you want to add as an opinion …Let me tell you 3 things you CAN NOT do on “diggnation” as i have learnt painfully so….

1. NEVER submit anything unless it finished! (Crucifiction follows)

2. NEVER come across as an advert for your site (Hung drawn and 3/4 across the Digg.com universe)

3. NEVER make a bad joke in the comments EVER! (Burried so hard, you wont even be remembered at your own funeral!)

Personally i like digg.com, im just never been a hit there, you could say im more of a scud on the undies of digg.com. But i peruse it every day to find leading stories, gossip, geek news and just the plain bizzarre. Who knows, oneday when this “1000 songs” is finished, maybe, just maybe, i might submit it, run and hide with Osama (or is that Obama ?) till the Hoo Ha is over and hopefully get unscathed till the fallout is safe :/ (Thank Grud i live in a country no-one has heard of!)

Jeff Martin grew up in Windsor, Ontario, just across the Detroit River from the home of proto-punk and the Motown sound; he was also influenced by his blues-loving father. He formed the Tea Party with multi-instrumentalists Stuart Chatwood (bass, keyboards, mandolin and harmonium) and Jeff Burrows (drums, percussion). Jeff Martin himself plays guitars, sitar, hurdy gurdy and harpguitar. Consequently, the trio’s sound marries rock with elements of Middle Eastern, Celtic and Mediterranean music. Their 1993 album, Splendor Solis, sold over one million copies in Canada; The Edges of Twilight followed, trailed in 1997 by Transmission.~ John Bush

the tea party - album reviews….

Windsor’s The Tea Party is either a totally retro music experience or, if you subscribe to the theory that everything that goes around comes around, leading edge. The power trio derives its inspiration from the late 60s and early 70s era of acid-tinged rock. Led Zeppelin is the most obvious forefather but, unlike the myriad of fellow acolytes, it’s the acoustic, pseudo-mystical elements of Zep’s work that most color this release. The Tea Room is more often a letdown on the heavy rocking material. Guitarist Jeff Martin doesn’t have Jimmy Page’s electric chops no matter how much he would like to. Things work better for The Tea Party when it drops the second-hand Zep stance in favor of other influences from the period. If your local music emporium doesn’t carry this independent release, write directly to Eternal Discs at P.O. Box 7436, Windsor, Ont., N9C 4T1. ~ Roch Parisien
