This is an ever changing and (hopefully) expanding list of some of the songs I have mentioned before in this blog or simply stuff I have found somewhere on the web that I find interesting, but have no time to write about. All files have been found somewhere in cyberspace (and NONE of them have uploaded by me, so I cannot help you with any requests you might have - just keep returning and something new might pop up), so they will be available until the artists, record labels, fans, whatever decide to remove them. Thanks to a few readers, [...]

Is it Friday already?!? Man, that was a quick week! Well we can't leave you to the week-end wars without some fresh new music! This week we got a bunch of cool new Indie and Electro/Remixes sent our way, so I figured I'd pit them against each other and let you decide which one's are better. I have to say I love them all! Some are slower, some dancier but all are OTR approved! Keep that music coming offtheradarmiami@gmail.com . Indie [...]

MAP - Music Alliance Pact #5 Nuovo appuntamento con l'esperimento internazionale del Music Pact Alliance (riassunto delle puntate precedenti: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 ). A questo giro i nomi già noti sono un po' più presenti (vedi Broken Records, Let's Wrestle, Here We Go Magic...) ma mi sembra ci sia comunque parecchia carne al fuoco. Per chi vuole scaricare tutta la lista in colpo solo ecco il link . Come al solito, commenti e consigli [...]

No, I'm not going to what must be music-heaven for every indie-lover, the SXSW-festival in Austin, Texas. But the schedule has now been released, and with that comes a lot of free music from the participants. Here are a few of my picks, and there will definitely be more over the next few weeks! The Von Bondies - This Is Our Perfect Crime [...]
AMERICA – I Guess I’m Floating Here We Go Magic – Tunnelvision Brooklyn’s Here We Go Magic is the bedroom folk-pop project of Luke Temple, who is releasing his self-titled debut this year. He has been praised by Sufjan Stevens and Ben Gibbard for his uniquely gorgeous vocals and meticulous lo-fi production aesthetic. Tunnelvision is the first single – one part Shakespearean sonnet and one part circus music, swirling in a beautiful mess of [...]
Este mês, a Music Alliance Pact foi notícia no Mtv da Roménia (foto), graças ao blog romeno, que faz parte desta "liga", o Babylon Noise.P.S. Sejam pacientes, por favor, ainda não tive a oportunidade de traduzir todos os textos dos blogs. AMÉRICA: I Guess I'm Floating4 Here We Go Magic – TunnelvisionHere We Go Magic, de Brooklyn, é o projecto folk-pop, de quarto,de Luke Temple, que lançara o seu

Here's February's edition of the Music Alliance Pact. For those of you who don't know about MAP, it's a collection of music blogs from around the world who band together once a month to shed light on up-and-comers from their home countries. It's sort of like the WTO without the human rights violations. This month we've welcomed Mexican blog Club Fonograma to bring the total participation to 22 nations. Our contribution this month includes an excellent track from Brooklyn-based Here We Go Magic . Nathaniel's decree has become somewhat [...]

PressPlay - chosen by our Portugese MAP blog partner - Posso Ouvir Um Disco? . MAP (Music Alliance Pact) is a monthly feature where music bloggers across the world share a track from their home country that they think you should hear. 22 blogs are submitting their country's pick this month. My Irish contribution is Tenaka who I suggest you get on right away. Let's get right to it. AMERICA – I Guess I’m Floating Here We Go [...]

More music, more exclusives, more premieres of the best music from around the world courtesy of some of the best country specific music blogs in the world. That's M.A.P. and this is the February edition. AMERICA – I Guess I’m Floating Here We Go Magic – Tunnelvision Brooklyn’s Here We Go Magic is the bedroom folk-pop project of Luke Temple, who is releasing his self-titled debut this year. He has been praised by Sufjan Stevens and Ben Gibbard for his uniquely [...]

The 15th day of the month means Music Alliance Pact time, when the blogging community comes together to offer up their favourite song for the world's ears. Think of it as the international invasion it's OK to support. Last month we welcomed Babylon Noise to the party - a development so significant it was reported by MTV Romania no less, and with a fair degree of enthusiasm by the young brunette presenter, who is clearly a [...]

This is our very first input on MAP, the Music Alliance Pact, a blogosphere project by The Pop Cop which invites 22 different publishers from different countries to showcase a monthly recommendation to share to the world. I found the idea to be splendid and the collective contribution by our now fellow bloggers is exciting to say the least. Club Fonograma is representing Mexico, which I know it’s odd considering I don’t live in Mexico (but I was born there) and the blog is in English, but let’s face it, the big majority of the content comes from [...]

Music Alliance Pact are din luna februarie inca un blog, reprezentand Mexicul. Multa muzica buna vine din acea zona, dar presupun ca vor promova rock en espanol mai mult decat, sa zicem, Lucha Reyes . Cu alte cuvinte MAP a ajuns la 22 de tari si creste. Asa cum v-am obisnuit, fiecare blog din fiecare tara a propus cate o melodie deci avem 22 de artisti din tari diferite,piese destul de noi.Din Romania, in aceasta luna ii avem pe The Amsterdams care se pregatesc de un album nou, dupa EP-ul de anul trecut. Ma pot astepta [...]

Es 15 de Febrero y toca otra entrega de MAP (Music Alliance Pact), tengo que el capitulo del mes pasado ha sido uno de los que más me ha gustado, he conocido muchas buenas bandas que ya comentare despues, para Febrero la misión de elegir a nuestro candidato no ha sido difícil, de hecho me parece que "Covida" se ha convertido en la mejor canción rock pop que haya salido de estos lugares, gracias a Catervas por la canción y definitivamente tienes que escucharla, todo un clasico para nunca sacarla de tu reproductor mp3. Para descargar las 22 [...]

Das Neuseeland ein sehr schönes Land ist, wissen wir spätestens alle seit dem Herr der Ringe. Das Neuseeland eine der höchsten Selbstmordraten unter Jugendlichen hat, ist auch bekannt. Das es deshalb viele melancholische jungen Menschen in Neuseeland geben muß, ist somit auch sehr wahrscheinlich. Das landschaftliche Größe und Erhabenheit häufig das musikalische Empfinden und die Ausdrucksform stimuliert, wissen wir spätestens seit Sigur Ros auch. Ergo ist es nicht verwunderlich, daß es zwangsläufig auch großartige, melancholische Musik dort geben muß. (Mann, sind wir heute logisch). Und hier ist sie: The Enright House spielen einen wunderbar ätherischen, elegischen und elektrifizierten Postrock der [...]

Dass es auch außerhalb von Europa und Nordamerika gute Indiebands gibt, ist mittlerweile nicht mehr von der Hand zu weisen. So machte mich u.a. Morten vor einiger Zeit auf das neuseeländische Quartett The Enright House aufmerksam, deren Musik eindeutig Shoegaze-Einflüsse aufweist, aber generell Freunde der atmosphärischen Klänge à la Sigur Ros zusagen dürfte. Derzeit sucht die Band noch einen weltweiten Vertrieb für ihr Debütalbum «A maze and amazement». Link zur Band-Website Link zur Bandseite [...]

Two from the usual source...the inbox! Darkwave = MC Squared was the name of a track received from New Zeeland quartet The Enright House and with a title like that you've already been given some indication of what to expect from the band's new album A Maze and Amazement . But nonetheless I've been listening to the albums a few times and it is quite dark and complicated (not in an Albert Einstein kind of way) with references to bands like Sigur [...]
We posted about the New Zealand band The Enright House back in May with the songs "Solitaire" and "Darkwave = MC-squared" and since haven't heard much from them. Turns out their debut record A Maze and Amazement will be released October 1st and they just came out with a video for the latter. Check it out: The Enright House - Darkwave = MCsquared (MP3) The Enright House - Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (live) (MP3)
