Ain’t Nothin’ for Free (Vol II)

Back for this week’s free stuff -

In Coldplay’s newsletter this month they added a link to one of the London bands they play with. The band is called Goldheart Assembly and they have a nice pop folk single for free on their website. (link – http://fiercepanda.co.uk/goldheartassembly/) If you like Coldplay or Mumford & Sons, you should check it out.

As for iTunes:

Single of the Week: “Something Good Can Work” – Two Door Cinema Club (4.5) This is one of the best songs I’ve heard from free on iTunes this year. It is a dancible indie pop song with a great hook. My room mate and I started grooving to this one the first listen. Somewhere between Paulson and The Strokes.

Music Video: “Acapella” – Kelis (1.9) You already start off in the whole when you spell “A Capella” wrong and also use it as the title for an electronic song. Add in an obscene amount of body paint/body art/scantily cladness coupled with a forgettable dance song and you have the music video this week.

Discovery: “There is a Way” – NewWorldSon (2.3) This is pretty much just a typical okay contemporary Christian gospel song. There’s really nothing else to say. It is… okay.

Canción de la Semana: “Buscaré” – Si*Sé (2.4) This title has something to do with looking for something. I’ve found that there is a negative effect to translating Spanish pop songs. I’m always disappointed. In this song she who shall be referred to as Si*Sé, says the title quite a bit. I assume she is still looking. Anyways, this is pretty much a soft rock, smooth jazz song without any pizazz.

Bleed on!
