I was able to procure some video from the Anonymous? single release party from this past Sat. at The Lounge on Elm St. The quality is not great but it gives the general idea. I'd like to point out something interesting from the first video -starting at 1:08 there is the most interesting woman scream I've ever heard. It continues throughout the rest of the video, each time exactly the same length and pitch as the original. And then Anonymous? debuted his new single 'Stacks' for the first time live. By then he had [...]
So THIS is the guy who shows up in the comments section to piss on pretty much everything we write. I'm surprised the rapper behind "Stacks" would take such a passionate interest in Pete's speculation about the Boston Spaceships cancellation, or in my description of a country-folk singer's voice. But I gotta hand it to him, he's got a cool poster to promote his CD release at The Lounge on Elm Street Saturday. I like how the silhouette and tiny faint question marks add to the sense of mystery.-- Jesse Hughey

I'm sure most of you remember when SOHH and Allhiphop were h4cked earlier this year by the 4Chan affiliated hackers known as Anonymous? They basically ether'd SOHH to the point where the site is nothing more than a half-ass blog (they're rebuilding, but still). Well, earlier today they leaked photos of Governor Sarah Palin's private email account on Yahoo. Yep, it's the real deal. Sarah Palin's private email was hacked and the leaks are quickly circulating the internet. I know this will be all over the [...]
Tre piccoli paesi dell'Europa, grandi storie musicali. La nostra rubrica va oggi in cerca di straordinarie perle. E le trova. Sotto con la copertina, e per il resto cliccate sui titoli I Taxi , band che arriva da Gibilterra , sono praticamente sconosciuti al di fuori dei confini spagnoli, eppure sono fra le realtà migliori del panorama pop europeo. Quella in alto, in versione live, è la bellissima "Hoy (Ganas de vivir) ", Ma se avete la costanza di [...]
Phew, that feels better. If you're coming over from my former personal site then thanks for going through the hassle. I'm grateful to you for reading. One small favor, help me to keep this site vaguely anonymous by not using my or Dr. O'C's surname, etc. Beyond that, things are more or less the same, as you can probably see. If you've been reading A Free Man for music, I'm going attempt to keep up with my favorite new music at least on a weekly basis. With my work situation as it is, I just don't have time [...]
This week on All Access, Sam sat down with the trippy-as-eff atmospheric-rock act, CIAM [ Official Site , Myspace ] (pronounced "SEE-AM") at the late, great Steve McQueen's home in the Hollywood Hills for an short chat. Then its off to the KCRW studio for their live performance of "The Call" on Morning Becomes Eclectic , a show that SMS friggin' loves and that his buddies in Salt and Samovar played on as well. ( Hi Dane and DS !) I was just happy to see the inside [...]

Losing it If you'll recall, a few weeks back I reported on my being selected to test iLose , a revolutionary weight loss program being developed by Apple's iTunes empire in conjunction with Bakersfield-Area Weight-Loss Labs (BAWLL) . iLose combines iPod technology with Apple's vast iTunes inventory and BAWLL's 40-plus years of weight-loss expertise. Three weeks after a representative from Apple contacted me and set up my participation in a Phase II study on this digital weight-loss program I lost 6 pounds and gained a wealth of great tracks to [...]
[ This post contains 26 MP3s for the kids after the jump. ] You know a compilation of children's songs has to be good if it features Foetus and Tiny Tim . And honestly, the compilation " Goobers - A Collection of Kid's Songs ", released in 1993 on T.E.C. Tones (who were somehow associated with the Residents' Ralph Records label, as I understand it), is damn near perfect. But what the heck is a "goober"? Urban Dictionary offers several different definitions , among them " chocolate-covered dick " and " [...]
Maybe you've heard Corporate Food on the infamous and probably one of the most important US punk compilations ever: Let Them Eat Jellybeans. But what strucked me is that I really needed to... Punk | Powerpop | Mod | Hard Core
Hi, here I am with some special ethnic music for you. A few nights ago as I was coming home and Shinanay, a well known traditional Aegean song sprang to my mind. The reason I still remember this song is because of a rendition by Omar Faruk Tekbilek the world renowned Sufi-ethnic musician from Turkey, who lives in Sweden. I know it might not appeal to people who don't know the song or don't understand the lyrics, but it's a good song featuring some parts of the lyrics in Greek, so it's a true Greek-Turkish collaboration and it's [...]
