I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. How many of you hit the stores at the crack of dawn for some Black Friday fun? Any big scores you want to tell us about? Any amazing music deals going on today for Cyber Monday that we should know about? If so, let us know below! It’s that time again when we share with you some of the most important music links on the web EVER (for now). I love these posts because it gives us a chance to share with you some of the sites that [...]

Sure why not ! Artist Chris Dimino took an old Smith-Corona Coronamatic typewriter and transformed it into a full QWERTY waffle iron for an exhibition called the "Next Best...Ding!" This actually happened way back in 2007, but still. A qwerty waffle iron! From a waffle perspective, the deep keys are fantastic as they would clearly act as pockets of buttery syrup heaven. The key to any great waffle is the ability to slather it with untold amounts of butter, maple syrup, jam or ice cream. [via gizmodo ]

Llega la hora de una nueva edición del Music Alliance Pact, la iniciativa de The Pop Cop que trae a mediados de cada mes canciones destacadas de más de 30 blogs alrededor del mundo, y de la cual Super 45 forma parte.

Nuestra destacada es Dadalú y su tema "Gracias" -primer sencillo de su próximo [...]

Es 15 de Octubre del 2010 y tengo el gusto de presentarles una edición especial de MAP , ya que un día como hoy, en 2008, nació la comunidad del Music Alliance Pact como iniciativa del blog escocés The Pop Cop . 24 ediciones después la esencia continúa, y se ha expandido a 35 blogs de todo el mundo.

It’s that time again; time for the Music Alliance Pact and from this month the Guardian's music blog has joined the team of blogs from across the globe to bring you an “eclectic monthly package of free downloads.” This month I bring you Goldfish, who incidentally have a new album, 'Get Busy Living' out . If this isn't awesome enough, as per usual you can also download all 35 songs in one file, so click here. SOUTH AFRICA [...]

It’s time for October’s edition of the Music Alliance Pact. For those of you who don’t know about MAP, it’s a collection of thirty-five 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. October is particularly exciting for a few reasons, first and foremost being this month marks the 2 nd Anniversary of the Music Alliance Pact - it's hard to believe we've been going global for two years! Another exciting addition comes [...]

Every month, MAP (Music Alliance Pact) asks 35 music bloggers across the world to share a track from their home country that they think you should hear. This month we are delighted to be joined by The Guardian Music Blog who are representing England from now on. Sacred Animals represent Ireland this month. [...]

»78s

Musik und Musikblogs gibt es wie Sand am Meer. Ein Mal pro Monat versucht der Music Alliance Pact, kurz MAP, Licht ins Dunkel zu bringen. 78s und weitere 34 Musikblogs aus aller Welt präsentieren je ein Highlight aus ihren Ländern. So viel Presse auf ein Mal gibt's sonst nirgends. Neu mit dabei ab diesem Monat: der Guardian Music Blog aus England. Um alle 35 Songs als ein File herunterzuladen: Hier klicken [...]
Faz este mês dois anos que o bravo escocês, Jason , começou o Music Alliance Pact. Ao longo destes dois anos, a lista de países e blogs que têm contribuido tem sempre vindo a crescer, e, hoje, tem representações de praticamente todos os continentes. Neste mês tão especial de aniversário, Portugal apresenta uma nova canção de um artista que já esteve, há praticamente um ano, no Music Alliance Pact . Desde lá, Noiserv fez diversos concertos no estrangeiro, confirmou o que suspeitávamos como sendo um dos talentos mais promissores de entre os novos músicos portugueses e editou, [...]

Luna asta se întâmplă 2 lucruri mari pentru MAP. Se fac 2 ani de când Jason a început întreg proiectul și se schimba participantul din partea Angliei. În locul lui The Daily Growl, avem acum The Guardian Music Blog . Dap, parte din acel The Guardian . Ceea ce înseamnă o mai mare expunere și publicitate, deci doar de bine. Luna asta l-am ales pe Minus să ne reprezinte, unul din numele promițătoare pe scena electro de la noi. Dacă autorul pozei de mai jos vede postul, rog să [...]

Popop
Seekordne MAP on igapidi pidulik - Music Alliance Pact on nüüdseks tegutsenud kaks aastat ja Popopil täitub esimene osalemisaasta. Oluline on ka märkida, et Inglismaad esindab nüüdsest Guardiani muusikablogi, millel lugejaid ilmselt rohkem, kui kõigil teistel kokku. Muusikud võiks selle meelde jätta, pakkuge end välja. Aga liigume, Eestist seekord Tallinn Daggers. Kõik 35 lugu korraga ühes failis saad tõmmata siit . EESTI : Popop Tallinn [...]

if we ever had an office (would anyone like to sponsor?), typewriter 's new album indian head massage would be a mainstay on our shared music playlist. we'd also be sure to have their awesome cover art plastered on our walls. that's probably how thrilled we are to have the band generously offer us an exclusive mix of album track "cry so well", as our MAP correspondent brian koh shares: SINGAPORE : I'm Waking Up To...

These reconfigured typewriters are by Tauba Auerbach . Olivettis looks awesome to begin with, so these souped-up specimens take it to the next level. I can't make sense of the altered readouts of these machines, but apparently there is a system at work: Auerbach often bases her work on these sorts of solvable codes or systems. In one of her works, a series of reconfigured typewriters, she alters the keys so that their letters and symbols no longer correspond to what appears on the paper. The typewriters are painted with clues to the logic [...]
A collision of cultures. Shopping - Earth Science - Recreation - Science and Nature - Fossils

While tracking down another group I shall post later, I found myself at the Words on Music label website and was awfully glad I did. In fact, I?m not really sure if I have words sufficient, so I?ll let the music do the talking. Enjoy. The Lucy Show - Mania Land and the Life mp3 [...]
