Probably, in the midst of online music marketing for some clients, one of my greatest discoveries has been The Kick Me's aka Magical Forest. The Kick Me's is Dave Zwick of "real band" Farcial Hoodwink and Magical Forest includes his friend Russell.
I send You Need Records a check for $10 (made out to Dave Zwick), and received the Magical Forest "The Ghost of Onyx Blackman" and "Comings & Goings" CDs, plus The Kick Me's "The More Durable Spires" CD.
