These Taming Blues

Hey y'all, I don't mean to bum any of you fans of modern music out too much, but seeing as that a lot of current record labels have plenty problems with music piracy (naturally so, the economy is dead and the music industry is not the place to be) I think (for a little while at least) I'll start providing music downloads that are either rare or have no chance at pissing on anyone's hair or anything.

However I'd like to say I have a lot of respect for labels who are pleasant about asking for moosic removed. I'd also like to say that I really count on you all (who download from this blog) to go out and purchase physical copies of the albums you download. Without that essential step, the music you've came to know and love is seriously fucked.

Not to mention that there's nothing better than opening the window, grabbing your favorite vice, and letting the needle drop. Even if your favorite vice is your record collection.

When beads spell power leaf

Hey y'all, sorry about the lack of posts lately. Classes are slowly eating up my time (speaking of which, if anyone is any good with C++, I'd LOVE some help :P) and Kate's pretty busy with applying to colleges and all. This weekend I'll be sure to post an album or two, after I get back from the glory of the Spoonbread Festival in Berea.

P.S. if you live near central Ky, come out and support Berea in full force!

Howdy

Hey y'all. Still completely and totally unable to upload albums from my current location, so I'll still have to go through a somewhat complex system of sending albums to be uploaded to Kate for uploading. This next week or so should see the uploads of these albums, as long as everything turns out right:

Carissa's Weird- You Should Be At Home Here
Ghosts & Vodka- Addicts and Drunks
Santo & Jonny- S/T
Bound Stems- the Family Afloat
Motorpsycho- It's A Love Cult
Brightblack Morning Light- Motion To Rejoin

P.S. In the near future, expect changes from this sort of folk/country/rock/americana thing to things unexpected. Don't be surprised to see M. Ravel, Moondog, Django, Kool, Ibrahim, Ravi, J Dilla, Jim O Rourke, Buell Kazee, Lee Perry, Black Flag, Lil' Wayne, Reich, Talk Talk, or even Justin Timberlake. Life is too short to choose one genre of music per era of your life. The artifice of 'maistream' 'alternative' and 'cool' are what keeps the greatest of musics from rising above.
