Ain’t Nothin’ for Free (4.27)
Posted: May 2nd, 2010 | Author: Brad | Filed under: Articles About Music | Tags: avi buffalo, beach house, hot chip | Comments OffCourtesy of one of our readers Mitch check out http://www.originalpenguin.com/page/music_dl. They have some cool stuff on there like “Norway” by Beach House, which iTunes released as one of their free singles back sometime near January. Great song, so if you missed it check this place out!
Also, don’t miss what @Nathan put about the Paste Bannaroo Sampler either! Some awesome stuff there, I love that list!
iTunes:
Single of the Week: “Forever” – Murs & 9th Wonder (0.7) Pretty much hip-hop trash. No special rhymes, hooks, or vocals. Don’t worry about it.
Discovery Download: “Remember Last Time” Avi Buffalo (3.2) Pretty sweet song by a pretty sweet band. Lots of instrumental time, but that’s might be because it’s quite a long song (7:28). It’s a good get.
Video of the Week: “I Feel Better” – Hot Chip (2.9) This is an English, sort of synth-pop band along the lines of Metronomy. You’d never be able to tell by the music video, though. Seriously, this is one weird video. I just watched it and I really don’t know what to say except, “floating heads,” and that probably doesn’t make any sense. You should get it to watch it just once, if for nothing else.
Canción de la Semana: “‘BabyRock’ Rock” – Clorofila (1.8) Somehow this is in English. It kind of takes the whole “canción” edge off of it. There’s still some solid accordion rocking in the background, but that’s about all the south of the border flare you’ll get. Besides that it is a modern soft rock song without kick. Sorry for the disappointing week.
Bleed on friends!
