You know when a band just captures something that seems to be the essence of everything you love about music? I've been fortunate for it to happen a few times in my life - first with New Order (which completely changed the type of music I listened to for the rest of my life), then (probably in order) with The Stone Roses, Radiohead, Embrace, Interpol, and most recently Film School. It's happened again over the last couple of weeks. It's one of the great things about MySpace in that it allows you to find all this great new and undiscovered music. More importantly, for the first time it actually allows you to communicate with them - I dont really remember this being possible before, and it's a truly exciting thing.

Anyway, I wanted to share that I have really been enjoying Chicago-based Dialogue. Great songs, great band name, great lyrics, and even a cello player as well. Pretty cool stuff all round I think. They have some samples online at www.ilikedialogue.com (click the speaker icon at the top to open the radio sessions and some other stuff they did). They can also be found here on MySpace.

I've been doing some poster design stuff for them for their upcoming shows. I hope you enjoy their music as much as I do. I am calling it now - these kids are destined for great things.
