Fame Games is not “just a music radio show.” In fact, it’s nothing short of a revolution in how music is selected and promoted today. Fame Games gives the best independent artists valuable A&R opportunities, advice and career guidance, as well as a potentially massive new audience through network radio play based on merit (finally!), compiled daily using a sophisticated song evaluation system.
Fame Games introduces discerning listeners to the very best new music, produced by “undiscovered” independent and “unsigned” artists. Shockingly, the quality of music which reaches the top of the Fame Games charts easily rivals (and often outstrips) the quality of music listeners are force-fed by national network radio and TV.
Fame Games is formatted as an entertaining, daily radio show, with something for everyone. New music is showcased and discussed and put in context for new fans to discover and embrace. The show is a “front” for MMI’s complex song evaluation system which continues to find the very best new artists and songs every day. The show’s host, DJ Crier, is supported by a diversified judging panel which includes accomplished music industry professionals as well as representatives of divergent demographics, in order to best reflect upon any song’s “crossover” potential.
With incisive song analyses, entertaining presenters, frequent world-famous guests on “The Red Carpet” and most importantly showcases of the best music you never knew existed, Fame Games is guaranteed to keep you glued to your radio day in and day out!
Fame Games also features the exclusive “Cowell Factor,” presented by Tony Cowell (Simon’s older, wiser brother and head of CowellMedia). This strategic alliance has nothing to do with the likes of American Idol or X-Factor. In fact, it’s a wholehearted endorsement of something quite opposite. Tony’s come onboard to help Fame Games to discover (and place!) real, un-manufactured world-class musical talent!
Fame Games airs daily through CitadelMedia (ABC) radio networks, as well as on demand, online on the Fame Games and MeerMusic sites and affiliated sites.
Fame Games is the best place for artists and fans to meet, and entertain realistic hopes of saving the world from bad music!

Midori and Audioclique - Bring It
2008, Midori and Audioclique
Midori and Audioclique hail from Santa Rosa, CA, and bring to us a new old sound. Somewhere between the teen pop of the past decade and classic rock of the 70’s and 80’s is where you’ll find Midori and Audioclique. Bring It is as much a declaration as an introduction. The July 2008 release should be the first of many from this young band.
Bring It is not nearly as confrontational as its title would suggest. This album plays like the soundtrack to One Tree Hill, Dawson´s Creek, Everwood, and dozens of other prime-time teen dramas. Vocalist Midori Longo has a strong and supple voice that resonates throughout Bring It. Musically, Midori and Audioclique walk the line between 1990´s alternative rock and 1980´s pop-rock. The result is a vibrant album full of big hooks, harmonies and lots of guitar. Midori rails with the best on I Can´t Rely and Bring It, and brings on the hyper-sensuality on Swim In My Ocean. Other highlights include Close Your Eyes, Go, and Take Me There. Take Me There is my favorite track on the album, and would likely have been a major hit in the 1980´s.
Bring It is fairly even and sonically consistent throughout the album. There are plenty of highs and lows in the flow of the music, but Midori and Audioclique never seem to lose sight of their musical vision. This is one of those albums that is caught somewhere between good and great. I will be curious to see what Midori and Audioclique do as a follow-up to this very strong debut. Bring It is a snapshot from a band who could be around for a long time to come. And it won’t be long before Midori Longo posters grace the walls of teen boys everywhere.
