I understand i'm more than a bit late with the 5th of November celebration post but i've been genuinely busy all week, i've hardly had time to do anything since last Tuesday and the free time i've had since then has been spent trying to sleep or get things ready. But without further delay i'll introduce some 5th of November themed tracks i found lying amongst my collection... MP3: Castanets - Worn From The Fight With Fireworks MP3: Animal Collective - [...]

It's Tuesday again, a day for new stuff to listen to - fresh from the post ( e-post that is ). We feature new music picked out fresh from our mailbox. As always, it is also the one day of the week that we get one lucky artist to take a jab at answering The Indie Music Database's standard set slam book questions ;) This week, we're taking a great plunge into the genre of raw, honest, self-released, electropop indie music, courtesy of Matt S. from The Marshmallow Pop Orchestra - [...]

I had to post this submission, as it is the most targeted song I have ever received! "The Malkin Mash" is a Halloween song done in the style of the Pet Shop Boys and targeted at fans of the Pittsburgh Penguins. Happy Halloween everyone!

Marshmallow Pop Orchestra mysteriously popped into our inbox this week and I was immediately intrigued. Mostly because the music is interesting but also a little because their unusual collection of listed influences (the Pixies, Cyndi Lauper, T. Rex, and Bright Eyes, among others) is all stuff I like. But then I read their email more carefully and realized that the bonus tracks they're offering include a "Pittsburgh Steelers fight song". OH, SNAP! These guys are from my (and aDawgg's) hometown! (Further evidence: another bonus track called "Surfin' the Monongahela River", one of Pittsburgh's famous three.) I'm going to [...]
