Hey folks,

I just wanted to send out some props for Dennis Schocket's album "The Cinderblock Mansion." I've been enjoying this amazing slice of powerpop since last July when Dennis came down with Andy Bopp of Myracle Brah to play Charlotte Pop Fest. In my opinion it was criminally overlooked even on audities, but I had it in my Top 10 of 2008.

Speaking of Andy Bopp he's the one who produced and recorded Dennis' album and Greg Schroeder (who is also in Starbelly with Dennis) plays on it as well.

Bruce at Not Lame has it on the front page right now, so check it out at http://www.notlame.com.

Oh, and here's another sliver of breaking news... Dennis confirmed with me that he'll be playing the next Charlotte Pop Fest this Summer.

Enjoy!
