Tis the season, and I'm rocking out with the Chrischanuanza spirit. I was wondering if anyone in this community was familiar with a band named Spiraling? They have a version of "Do You Hear What I Hear?" that samples in bits of The Who's Baba O'Reily - it is the best version of this Christmas classic I've ever heard. They have it streamed right now on their MySpace, http://www.myspace.com/spiraling and downloadable at www.spiraling.net

Hi everyone, I'm Admin's sister, Aly. I do a lot of freelance editing and writing, and along the way, I became friends with an amazing indie band from New Jersey named Spiraling. You can check out their tunes at http://www.myspace.com/spiraling . I meet and listen to dozens of bands every week, it's part of my job, and none have ever blown me away like Spiraling does. Spiraling is fronted by Tom Brislin, who in recent years, has played with YES, Meat Loaf, Camel, and Glen Burtnik. Edgy and dynamic, Spiraling plays their own unique brand of synth-infused modern rock. The band has toured with OK GO, They Might Be Giants and many other marquee acts. This year alone, they shared the stage with LIVE, Hot Hot Heat, Eisley, Joan Jett, and The Smithereens. Spiraling is about to embark on a national tour (below are the dates already booked, but more are being added to their website every day) - if you are interested in checking out their music, and haven't yet, this is a golden opportunity. Thanks -- have a great day! aly Winter 2006 Tour (CA, TN, TX, AR, DC, NY) ---------- 1.17.06 Riverside, CA - EAGLE'S NEST @ La Sierra University 4500 Riverwalk Pkwy.

Hi everyone! My good friend Regina has organized a Making Strides for Breast Cancer team in honor of her mother and in memory of her grandmother. We came up with the name Team MiGi (Everyone calls Regina Gigi, and her mom's nick name is Mimi, so it seemed to fit.) We're going to be walking as part of the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer benefit near Clove Lake Park in Staten Island on Sunday, October 17 - below is the link to join the team if you want, or to be one of the sponsors if you want, or to just forward this to your other friends to help raise awareness. You can donate as little as $1 if you want -- and every single cent will go toward the cause. Everyone who knows me knows I love to promote things important to me and organizing events -- this is an extrordinarly important cause, and directly effects people I know and care about, so I really want to do something especially meaningful this time. I'm going to act as co-captain of her team and spread this to all my friends, online and off. Any help you can give us spreading the word would be amazing. The money we raise funds the Society?s research, education, advocacy, and patient services programs. I?m proud to support these efforts by walking in Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. You can support them too by making a donation today. It?s easy; simply log on to my personal Web page and pledge as much as you can. Together, we will make a lifesaving difference in the lives of women everywhere!
