For those of you up as late (or as early) as I am, here's a special treat for you! Some free MP3s from various musicians. Let's start with the major label act and work our way down. The first is from Universal Republic act Colbie Caillat , who is giving away a free MP3 of "I Never Told You" from her recent album, Breakthrough . The catch is that you have to go to Imeem to download it. Follow this link to get it . The next is from Sia [...]
Drums Play Spaceland Monday Night (and It's Free) Ray Davies put on a fantastic show on Saturday night at the Orpheum. If you get a chance to see him on this tour do not hesitate. More on that later. Another great week this week. If you're into buzz bands you might want to check out Drums tonight, The Big Pink on Wednesday, Tape Deck Mountain on Thursday, Neon Indian on Friday and The XX on Saturday. Some of those will be good, but I'm recommending a variety of [...]
How To Fight Records, a tiny imprint in Los Angeles that doesn't have a Web site just yet (but yup, they have a Twitter account), are releasing a bunch of 7" singles and and a series of singles from a...
The Happy Hollows Monday Residency at Spaceland Starts This Week Sorry for the lack of posts, thanks for sticking with me. I caught Kris Kristofferson at the Walt Disney Concert Hall last night. You've got to be a fan of his poetry, because he's not a dynamic performer. That said, he's a legend and I was happy to see him for a second time. I've missed all the recent "secret" shows, but there are a few more this week... Monday 11/2/09 [...]
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, [...]

I'm getting cluttered again - far too many files on the desktop, an absolute ton of decent new music, and a finely disorganised mind to manage it with. Yet another major tidy-up is essential, and if I don't get some of this out there, it'll be mired forever in the wetlands of my computer - which'd be a shame; so brevity is my main weapon today... how unexpected. I know next to nothing about these guys, save their being from New Zealand, and producing this fine example of what your average radio-telescope should really be searching [...]
I made it out to Spaceland last Monday, El Rey on Thursday (My Bloody Valentine!) and Coachella on Saturday and Sunday - more on that later. In the meantime, we've got a slow post-Coachella week. Good time to check out some local artists.... Monday 4/20/09 [Pick of the Night] The Henry Clay People / The Whip / Adeline & the Philistines / Marvelous Toy @ Spaceland (Free) – It should be another packed night at Spaceland.

Song Pontiak ~ " Honey " myspace plays: 720 mp3 download (via thrilljockey ) Pontiak comes with a psychedelic, fuzzed out, grungy guitar, and heavy slow drum sound. When I first heard this, I thought they were going to be from Austin. I was surprised to find out that the three Carney brothers are from rural Virginia. Maker was released on Tuesday. [...]
