The Tallest Man on Earth – The Wild Hunt. Download "Burden of Tomorrow" (mp3). Download "King of Spain" (mp3). The Tallest Man on Earth is the sardonic musical name of five-foot-seven-inch Kristian Matsson.

I could just start numbering these mixbags. The problem with actually applying this feature to a certain day of the week, is that it makes it so constraining. I write these because there is too much good music to share, or not enough to be written about in detail. However, the reason this time is because I'm hooked on LCD Soundsystem, Foals and Holy Fuck, but I'm not ready to talk about any of them individually. So instead, here are some cool tracks. The stuff that makes me delve deeper into the world of hip hop is soulful, [...]

Whether it's singles, EPs or just MP3s that we like, it's a place for us to collect the things we've heard lately but haven't had a chance to write about yet. MP3 Woozy Viper - Look Out!

Nothing "new" from me today, still recovering from vacation, but I do have a couple of recommendations for you. 1. There's a newish blog called Beat Surrender that is featuring some of the songs from the new covers record from Mark Erelli and Jeffrey Focault called Seven Curses . It's a nice review as well as a good place to sample the new record. Here's the post in question. And a song from the record: Tom Merritt 2. I've [...]
Want free music? We've rounded up the best downloads from across the blogosphere so you can download all in one place, guilt free. 1. Slow Club "Giving Up on Love" This is probably the happiest song about throwing in the towel we've ever heard. It's upbeat without being corny and honest without being resentful.

Though it flew way under most radars outside of Memphis, TN, Harlan T. Bobo's debut LP, Too Much Love, was one of my favorite releases of 2006. An outlier on the typically noisy Goner Records label, Too Much Love was a love sick paean to romance that seemed to straddle our reality and that of [...]
Jack Oblivian got his last name with Eric and Greg and their Popular Favorites but— like Cartwright and Reigning Sound —he found new greatness with his solo work. His Disco Outlaw is rock 'n' roll as natural as Charlie Feathers and Johnny Thunders and he'll play his first show in Los Angeles in ten years tonight at the Echoplex. This interview by Chris Ziegler.
There has been a considerable amount of time devoted to talking about 5 Dollar Cover here on ninebullets over the past few months. Mostly due to Lucero front man, Ben Nichols' involvement in the project. Well, the show finally debuted Friday night and I'm still have no idea what it's about. Or if I liked it. This weeks episode introduces us to Amy LaVere , Muck Sticky (Memphis's version of the Insane Clown Posse?) and Harlan T. Bobo . In between meeting these bands Amy's character fumbled through some disjointed plot points to [...]
MTV Shows Memphis, get ready to stand up. $5 Cover , the highly-anticipated new web series from director Craig Brewer has already made its introductory splash to audiences at the Sundance Film Festival this past weekend. In the weeks and months to come, the rest of the world will have an opportunity to find out what those of us in Memphis have long known and understood: the richness and depth of our tightly-knit music scene and those involved.

SXSW 2007 list. Yes I know it's over. but I just had time downloading the songs to make lists. This one is the nicest so it goes first. It's a late nite list with consistent sound, very sexy, and bunch of post-rock in each section. I would post more info, were it for not having a chance to carefully look at each artists webpage. But at least the list nice. Enjoy. "I. City of Love " 01. Dislike - Alone (Ufa, RUSSIA) 02. Slot - [...]
