I know I once again flaked on posting, but I've had a cold for the past couple of weeks that just doesn't know when to leave. Kind of like the creepy, wasted guy at the afterparty who can't seem to catch a hint. I'm feeling quite well today, so I took advantage of the better health and spent pretty much this entire day catching up on email and snail mail submissions. And to make up for my delay, today's post is going to be a massive one. I hate to say that I won't be able to give [...]
Another week, another mix with lots of new music ranging from electro-pop to country. If you are still partying from the events earlier in the week or are just ready for a great weekend, this music will get you through. Enjoy. Asobi Seksu - Familiar Light De Rosa - Nocturne For An Absentee We Swim You Jump - Sparks Fade Out Brandtson - Earthquakes and Sharks The Whitest Boy Alive - Island Favours For Sailors - I Dreamt That I Dreamt That [...]
Things are a bit crazy here at TGTF at the moment - for some reason this week our hits have gone through the roof (so hello if you're new around these parts!), and we've been a tiny bit swamped with emails, so apologies if we're slow to get back to you / write shiny new posts! Now, onto the good stuff. You've probably heard that the Isle of Wight festival's announced its Friday lineup of big bands, with The Prodigy headlining, Basement Jaxx , [...]
There is no rhyme or reason to what day these things happen on. I think we're all just going to have to accept that I'm going to put things up as the fancy strikes me, and move on from there. Since I started trying to do the music roundup on Tuesday, it's happened every day but Tuesday, and now I have so much new music to put up that I'm doing it twice in the same week. Which feels fantastic, now that I think about it. Maia Hirasawa - [...]
EAR FARM's Three for Free SIX For Free: six EF approved, free and legal MP3s posted whenever the mood strikes us. Today, a double-shot of songs that come courtesy of all corners of our inbox. Click on the band name to visit their site, click on the song name to listen to the song. May we particularly suggest the insanely poppy Favours For Sailors track? Listen: Favours For Sailors - "I Dreamt That I Dreamt That You Loved Me In Your Dreams" [...]
Confusing song title and all, this track, from the UK-based power-pop-obsessives Favours For Sailors , is all gleam and sheen and "whoa oh oh!"s. Jangly everything surrounds guitar solos and flourishes, and the boys' harmonizing leaves nothing in want. So good. The band is also playing a few shows in their native United Kingdom in the coming months, which we think you should definitely try to attend if you're around. Dates: Jan 20 London, UK White Heat @ Madame Jojo's Feb 19 Kidderminster, UK Tap House Feb 21 Birmingham, [...]
Favours for Sailors will be releasing a mini album titled Furious Sons on March 2nd via Tough Love Records . To celebrate the event, the band are serving a slice from the effort for your downloading pleasure. The story of how the band came to be, begins when Alex Bratt (bass) arrived in London and is reunited with university friend Jon Crawford (guitar and vocals). The duo started playing together, forging an early post-hardcore sound. Their sound slowly matured into something leaner and more melodic as they channeled their love of bands like [...]

My efforts, for the most part, are to always bring you new music, more choices, and of course great talent.
