  • Artists Listen Up: Get a new website for free! Kilted Chaos kick up their skirt to your future!

    as a musician/artist/band if you are not available (and want to be) and you don’t have a website set up – you might as well just stay in your basement by yourself…

  • Entertainment For The Braindead — Hydrophobia

    Free music is always good.  Free music is always great when it is worth having and actually listening to. I have been introduced to aaahh records previously, but sometimes I just need a couple of pushes to get my attention.  In this case the two pushes came in the form of Common Folk Meadows post…

    I would like to welcome everyone to a week of “Bests” from good friends on the old Slowcoustic Blogroll.  I am honoured to have all 5 days (Monday through Friday) this week dedicated to what my fellow bloggers think are some of the best things they have found this past year.  As previously mentioned the…

  • Bon Iver, Joanna Newsom, Alec Ounsworth, et al.

    Independent Artist Vocals Styles – A dissection. I was thinking in traffic the other day about the “indie” band/artists and the vocal styling they can have.  What I am alluding to is the fact that often a vocalist in the “off the beaten path” side of the music industry can sometimes be…”not a formally trained…

  • Oweihops dual post starts here (or ends here…)

    Hello Slowcoustic readers!  I wanted to post today to advise of a fairly recent update to my blogging persona — my dual personality! Okay that sounds dramatic, but I wanted to do a dual post with my other blogging life over on the You Crazy Dreamers Blog.  Yes, it is true, I cheat on my…
