Jim Ward
Jim Ward is a musician from El Paso, Texas. He is probably best known as the front man from Sparta. I'm in a huge Jim Ward funk lately, so let me know if you are getting sick of all the Sparta/Jim Ward entries. I go in phases with bands and right now its Jim's turn. Sparta is reforming. Yeah!
Take it back-I wish I could have found better footage.

The Judybats
The Judybats were an alternative rock band from Knoxville, TN. I used to stay up late, just to watch 120 minutes on MTV. It was one of a few resources for me to learn of new indie bands. The Judybats were a pleasant discovery. I think they were in my top 10 favorite bands, back in college.

New Order
New Order is a new wave rock band from England.
I was totally into this band in high school. I think high school is when I first started to venture out to alternative music. I was so sick of listening to the same old Top 40 songs over and over. I wish I had the www. in high school. Music is so easy to come across nowadays. To be a teenager in todays world of Internet and MP3's. HEAVEN!

Madder Rose
Madder Rose was an alternative rock band from New York in the early 90's. I played the hell out of this cd in the college days. Such a great nostalgic cd. It reminds me of the time when every weekend was spent at a bar checking out bands and going to concerts. Oh the freedom to just do what you wanted. No obligations, no kids, no mortgage. The freedom to wipe out a paycheck just as quickly as you got it, buying new cd's and concert tickets... and beer. Those were some of the best days of my life.

A death of Pain.

It's coming down to this, my love.

Sparta - Did you hear? Sparta has awoken. Yes, it is true. The band has reformed. All I have to say is it's about time. I love this band so much. I love Jim's solo work too, but I'm so glad they are back and putting out a new cd. I'm so giddy, I can hardly contain myself. Their first gig in 3 years will be 11/17/11.
