Disclaimer: You May Find a Broken Link
So, there USED to be freenapster.com, and it USED to provide access to almost any artist's music. It was pretty awesome, and I linked ~90% of this blog's recommendations to that site. Now, apparently, Free Napster is no more. Booooooo.
It will be a long, on-going task of mine to redirect the links to somewhere you can hear the music, but in the meantime, if you click on a link that brings you to Napster where it asks you to sign in:
1) Be angry at them, for disrupting your chance to enjoy a good song
2) Google the song and still check it out, because it's awesome
If you have another source I should be using, please don't hesitate to send it my way. Email me for that, and any music recommendations, at tracy@groundwm.com. Thanks!
New YorkFrancis and the Lights first caught my attention on a mixtape from a friend, and I posted his song "
LIME" back in February '09. Just recently he started streaming his newest album,
It'll Be Better, and it's fabulous. There's a strange, comfortable, uniqueness in his music that will stick with you. It's the smartest dance-pop music I've heard in a long time, and I'm happy to spread the word if you're unfamiliar. Enjoy a listen to the new album below. :)
ChicagoIf
Emiliana Torrini wrote lyrics to a
Battles song, it might sound like Circle Mass, by My Gold Mask. With its very driven and large sound, this song will quickly rack up play counts on my iPod, especially because it's FREE
HERE.
Give it a listen, and then (if you're not heading to Subterranean to see
Verona Red) maybe head over to
The Hideout to hear it live on Saturday, January 9.
Montreal, Canada11/25/09: Neighborhood #2 (Laika), by Arcade Fire
Listen to it HEREOk, so I LOVE Arcade Fire. The only reason I haven't featured them before is because I couldn't chose which song to feature! I finally just picked one, literally. If you like this song, and for some reason haven't heard of Arcade Fire, I strongly encourage you to listen to their albums
Funeral and
Neon Bible. LOVE. SO excited for their upcoming album!
Enjoy!
