Smash & Grab MP3 Post, but still worthy of some “good” attention
So a quick one today, kind of a “smash & grab” post as many bloggers refer to when music blogs put up a post with no real content, but with MP3 links. Umm, yeah – so I am kinda doing that, so back off haters. I have 3 separate tracks from different artists, but all…

So a little gem of a lo-fi EP fell in my lap recently – and you regular readers (I know you are out there) will appreciate a bit of an accented bedroom recording. The band is a solo project of Christina Tsui who is going by “A Book About Elephants” and she has a FREE…

And now for something completely different… Feral Children!
Just thought I would post something completely different for me – just to show you that I have range.

Manchester Orchestra “Everything To Nothing” from MySpace Transmissions Catch the whole thing over at MySpace Transmissions for the videos, interviews and free 5 track EP.

Gareth Dickson’s Sunday Morning.
Just a quick post on Gareth (although he is deserving of more) – I simply needed to put this out there as I was listening to his “Collected Recordings” this morning and had to post.

This Is What Sunday is For – Ofeliadorme
Ever want to lie awake and stare off to the distance, but with purpose? Well, take a listen and feel yourself catching yourself gazing off, losing yourself while at the same time being totally focused.
