You don't have to go (to college)

I'd like to welcome a new contributor to this here fair blog.

Her name is Kate, and she's a very close friend of mine, who happens to have stolen her music taste from me it seems. She's gonna help me fill album requests as well as occasionally sticking her neck out and posting an album on her own.

Here's an interview so you can get to know her a little better:

Me: So kate, what's your name and what do you do?
Kate: Well, my names is Kate, and I do Henry.
Me: Who are some of your favorite musicians?
Kate: Blitzen Trapper, My Morning Jacket, I mean, anything that's Henry's favorites.
Me: What's your least favorite crustacean?
Kate: Are crabs crustaceans? If not, Lobster. If not lobster, I just don't know what a crustacean is.
Me: Paleozoic or Mesozoic, which was more badass?
Kate: I'm not into rocks. That's your thing.
Me: But those are eras!
Kate: Eras about rocks!
Me: You rock my world.
Kate: Awww you rock mine sometimes too.
Me: Thanks...

I'll post that Blitzen Trapper S/T later on tonight, if that's cool with you all (it is.)

Of Montreal- Skeletal Lamping

Hey all, currently uploading this album, but while it's being hosted, I have a question:

Is it worth it to continue running this blog? I love supplying y'all with good tunes, but tomorrow I move into my apartment for college, and I'm not too sure that my ISP will be too pleased with me uploading music (or downloading it for that matter.) I hate to have to drop blogging for a while, but I figure I'll still be able to post an album or two a week. That is, unless someone wants to help me maintain this blog? If you feel up to it, just shoot me an email or a comment.

P.S. If you don't have Mount Eerie's Dawn, you'd better get it. Moon Sequel isn't quite as touching as the live cut of it where Phil breaks down, but overall, the albums has a lot of great versions of old Mount Eerie songs. Also, if you don't have the Glow Pt. 2, leave me a comment and I'll upload it, but ONLY if you'll go out afterwards and buy the new vinyl re-issue of the album. It's very worth having.

100 Years From Now

I don't quite feel it's my place to inject my personal opinion about much into your arrhythmic stream of free album downloads on this blog, but I do have a little bit to say concerning your lifestyle. I maintain this blog for the most common of dudes. My goal for this blog is to provide to those who wish to enhance their musical tastes, you know? I really don't like the idea of elitism in the musicscape today, so I try to avoid posting too much music that's pretentious or trendy. I try to stick to music of one sound or another. On occasion I'll post something a little out there, but you know, only because I like it, and maybe you might too.

Please, if you take anything from this blog, let it be in spirit of adventure and let yourself be immersed in the aural glory of the sounds you hear coming from files you've gotten from me. Don't let it be an attitude that you're more "in the know" about music, because there's a shit ton of people out there already like that, and I don't respect the first one of them.

Dr. Dog- Fate

Also, on an unrelated note, I saw My Morning Jacket for the third time this past Saturday in Louisville and it blew my mind as always. If you've never seen them, do yourself a favor that you'll look back on in 20, 30 years and be like "Wow, sure glad I went to that!"

This album is a free download, and if you like Brian Eno, David Byrne, Spank Rock, Sun Ra, the Dirty Projector's The Getty Address, or any other form of music that takes decades to catch on to (though now's the perfect time to get into it!) you will SURELY love this album. I highly suggest it.

Well folks, I have had all four of my wisdom teeth removed, and I am now browsing the internet and feeling good via Oxycontin. Tomorrow I should be well enough to start back posting albums (including those aforementioned in a previous blog.) Currently though, I'm listening to a collection of 7 CDs of 20's and 30's Kentucky Mountain Music (including one of my favorite artists of the time Buell Kazee). It's up on What.cd and well worth a download if you like folk music, bluegrass, Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music, etc.

On an unrelated note: this blog is pro-Obama '08.

Wisemen

Today I am getting my wisdom teeth out, so I may not be able to upload albums for the rest of the day, and perhaps longer than that. However, at the moment, I have two albums being uploaded, being David Karsten Daniels' Fear of Flying (One of my FAVORITE albums right now) and Vetiver's Thing of the Past. I also hope to upload Phosphorescent's Pride and a combination of two EP's that Will Oldham and Brightblack have released together (the Pebbles and Ripples EP, along with Brother Warrior/Cornflower Blue)

However right now I'm not too aware of what I'm doing, so I believe I will go to sleep.
