| Oct 16, 2008: After 6 years, I finally remembered the e-mail address and password to log into this site.
In case you haven't figured it out, due to the lack of postings and reviews, I am no longer writing for Phillymusic.com. This is mainly because at first I could not devote the time needed for this type of work due to job committments, but now it's for an even bigger reason. I don't live in the area anymore.
My time with Phillymusic.com has been exciting and very educational to say the least. I've met some terrific bands and great people. The local Philadelphia music scene has come a long way since I first got involved and I'm so glad that I was able to be a part of it for some time.
So in the meantime, thank you all for being a part of Phillymusic and I wish you all good times and good tunes!
Keep Rockin'!
-Amy

| R.I.P. Dave Blood, Bassist of The Dead Milkmen | |
| Mar 11, 2004: Dave Blood, bassist for defunct Philadelphia rock act the Dead Milkmen, committed suicide Wednesday, according to a post by his sister on the band's official message board (http://deadmilkmen.com). He will be missed by all of Philadelphia, and PhillyMusic.com sends our condolences to his family and many friends.
"This morning Dave Blood is no longer with us," wrote Blood's sister, Kathy. "David is my brother. Since the breakup of the band David has never really found his niche in life. My brother was a smart, clever and talented person. Inner peace has seemed to elude him for the last many years. Sometime last night David chose to end his life. He left a note that I don't know all of what it said, he was not elaborate -- but he said he just could not stand to go on any longer." | |

| Brian Seymour Rewrites the Rules by Blake | |
| Brian Seymour brings rich stories to life with an acoustic and a great raspy voice bringing
in the 'Once Upon a Time' and allowing the band to support the rest of the tale. His latest
album is "A Thousand Tarzans" and a sweet cut is 'Memories of High School' which pontificates and
reaches into the reflection with wonder and fascination of how we all made it through unscathed.
(Well, most of us...) 'Dark & Stormy' is a way cool tune with just Brian and his guitar (along
with occasional white noise, drums and electronic thingamijigs) With lendings to Hoodoo Gurus
and Radiohead, this song aligns simplicity with great lines like 'sweet like ginger beer, she
was my banner year'. Makes you wonder what she is up to these days... Brian has a pretty extensive
discography and I toured around his site a bit. Turns out... He is quite a bit more than your
typical singer/songwriter... bringing visuals to life. I thumbed-through "Seymour & One Big Love"
and 'Always Leaving' lives with the regret of missed opportunities and life on the road. We may
be in many places, but we remain the same person throughout our ordeals. (With some minor adjustments)
Kind of 'wherever you go... there you are...' Another cut from this album is 'This is the Sound'
which doesn't capture Brian, instead, it seems to capture the Bricklin Bros, as they produced it.
That was the extent of what I could sample online, but something tells me the albums delve into
awakenings, re-awakenings and a never-ending search for self. You can buy right from his site.
Flash movies, QT videos and more await you... Peace - Blake.
