The Music Alliance Pact is taking over the planet. We know this because Página 12 , one of the biggest newspapers in Argentina, featured our worldwide music sharing project in a full-page article last week. Our Spanish is a little rusty so we put the text through an online translator. What follows is possibly the most extraordinary words you will ever read... To communicate with songs. This is the slogan of Music Alliance Pact ("Agreement of Alliance of the Music"), a network of blogs that came already to twenty-two countries, including [...]
Good news : incepand cu 2009, babylonoise face parte din Music Alliance Pact (M.A.P.) o initiativa mondiala menita sa stranga muzica independenta si noua de pe intreg mapamondul in articole ce vor fi publicate in fiecare luna pe data de 15. Momentan sunt 21 de bloguri reprezentand 21 de tari, dar sper ca in curand MAP va putea deveni cu adevarat un fenomen muzical global cu bloguri din toate cele 192 de tari formand Natiunile Muzicale Unite . Ma preocupa problema globalizarii si cred ca MAP face numai lucruri bune promovand muzica independenta din locuri mai [...]

So this band is completely random, and as such, I thought I would do a patented "Track Seven One Listen Review" for you all. I don't remember how I came across this band, nor do I even remember when I came across them. So tonight I stumbled across them buried in the depths of ThaBombShelter's music folder (via the GF's mac...god bless AIM) and I literally said aloud, "Who the hell is 'I Was a King'?". Even with some internet sleuthing I'm pretty much coming up empty. According to their MySpace page, they're from [...]
I Was a King may be the most amazing unsigned band I've heard lately. In fact, without a doubt in my opinion they are simply the best unsigned band of the year. The strength of the 8 songs on Remove the Crown cannot be underestimated, nor can they be refused their chance to be heard. This band may be the heirs apparent to the Pyschedelic Folk-Pop/Rock that the Elephant 6 Collective endeared to so many during the 90's and beyond. I have to say that I would put this album up there with [...]
