It's Music Alliance Pact time again. If you're a regularish reader you should know the script by now. Our aim is to get one music blog from every country in the planet to share their favourite song of the month by an artist from that nation. All the text you see below the picture of the bonnie Scotsman is written by each individual blogger and then replicated on each site on the same day, give or take some intercontinental time differences. Thanks to the additions of Brazil, Chile, Germany, New Zealand, Portugal, Singapore and [...]
The inaugural October month of the Music Alliance Pact was a grand introduction and it only got better with last month's November edition . If you thought that all we've been doing is prepare for finals, both academically and year end list-wise, you're in for a treat with the final Music Alliance Pact of 2008: December. MAP's creator and organizer, Jason from Scotland's The Pop Cop , has made this into a global organization that every musically deft country wants to be a part of. Eventually the MAP will stand tall like [...]

O "Posso Ouvir Um Disco?" é um dos membros do Music Alliance Pact, projecto organizado por um escocês, Jason, e também um blogger (ver http://thepopcop.blogspot.com/ ) A sua ideia consiste em, mensalmente, vinte e um blogs contribuirem com um tema, de uma banda ou artista do seu país. AMERICA – I Guess I'm Floating Dent May & His Magnificent Ukulele – 26 Miles Mississippi-based Dent May has
It's once again time for the best songs in the world. The group of contributing bloggers continues to grow for MAP as does it's worldwide presence (recent press from Rolling Stone among others). These are songs from around the world but not world music and that's one of the things I like about this project. This is not music that is pandering for the NPR "world music" crowd. It's music from around the world influenced by the host countries and their local cultures but not controlled by them. Enjoy these songs, there's a .zip file at [...]

The Black Hat Brigade is probably going to hate constantly getting compared to Wolf Parade. While it may be valid on some tracks, not only does it set the bar absurdly high for a band that hasn't even released their first EP to the masses, but it pencils them into a style and sound that I'm not sure they are trying to create. It also leads to an unfair to those ridiculous superstar discussions, like draft experts trying to compare Kevin Durant to someone like Lebron or Kobe. While Wolf Parade has taken the time to [...]
