Given the volume of music available for consideration on One Track Mind, we invariably have to pass on a lot of tasty morsels. [tweetmeme] In a desire to share even more great, free music with you, the Sunday Sampler offers a handful of tracks without the usual critical and biographical write-up. Less talk, more tunes. Dead Western Plains "Alta" from Alta 73 [ released 11/23/10 | indie rock ] [ [...]
River Rising Quickly mp3 Danny Drugs in (C# Major) mp3 Joshua English flew into my inbox this week. I liked what I heard, I think you will too. It's Americana, folksy, and adorned in the right way, in the right place so as to be not too bare boned, despite the title. There's a little bit of Amy Ray in the way he puts his words to the melody. I like that level of masculinity about her and therefore, about him. I guess I'm not in the mood for [...]

In the crazy ass world known as the music industry, the week immediately following CMJ is basically the most overwhelming five days of any blogger's life. That's because all the publicists who stepped away from the office to party work at CMJ are now back in said office, catching up on their work and consequently sending 1,732 emails. The goods new for you guys, of course, is that all these emails mean tons of new mp3s to include in this week's Friday mixtape. So please enjoy this haul of free music. We're going to go sleep. [...]
Joshua English is, I guess, what you would call a modern day troubadour, with roots in both Portland, Oregon and Boston,Massachusetts. Culling inspiration from Raymond Carver, perpetual motion, and oceans of black coffee, his new record, Lay Bare Your Bones , presents an absorbing blend of sparse cynicism with Brit-folk leanings. And all done with influences that span Sam Cooke to Public Enemy to Chuck Ragan and Billy Bragg . English’s forthcoming [...]
(Nils killed it the entire night) I have to admit that I expected the Rural Alberta Advantage to put on a good live show. I had read a few concert reviews which were all glowing and I have learned in my musical experiences to generally trust live reviews. I knew I loved the material as well, I can remember listening to the few songs I had on repeat constantly during studying (I know, I actually studied!) for finals semester one. Over the last six months, a lot of people have gone through the same transfixion with [...]
Y es I did head downtown last Thursday night during the blizzard to catch what was an unbelievable show featuring Joshua English, Ben Nichols (of Lucero), and Chuck Ragan (of Hot Water Music) at Schubas Tavern . Because of the snow it took me 1-1/2 hours drive the 12 miles from work to home and another hour + to get downtown so I (unfortunately) missed Joshua English's set, but everyone who saw it said he was great. His latest record Trouble None is fantastic so I'm sure that live it [...]
Consider this your friendly reminder to come down to Modified in Phoenix tonight to check out Jonah Matranga , Joshua English and Frank Turner (though I'm not sure in what order they'll appear). Also on the bill is Western States Motel from Los Angeles. You're already aware of how I feel about Jonah's music ( link , link , link ) and he dropped by to tell us his thoughts on Boogie Down Productions and Public Enemy. Joshua English, formerly of [...]
Native Oregonian Joshua English is set to release Trouble None , his first solo album full of great acoustic guitar based indie pop songs, on April 17, 2007. 'Tis really really good stuff. For the uninformed, Joshua English was the former frontman of the Boston indie-pop band Six Going On Seven, and (more recently with three former members of Snapcase) the post-punk band Attractive. Because of his distinctive vocals and (as the press release states) acerbic lyrics, English manages to set himself apart from the rest of the bland singer-songwriter pack. In addition [...]
