Soundsupply is a new startup that is experimenting with a digital bundle of music featuring 10 albums from 10 bands for $15 . The offer ran for 10 days, and today is the final day to purchase Supply Drop #1 . Lots of digits in this description but the idea of offering a huge amount of music at a low price seems potentially viable for indie rock. I like the idea of monetizing this marketing move but I have to wonder to what degree free has undermined low price offerings. PLUS: [...]
Relaxing indie music is the best kind of indie music. Canada native Edgar Breau sent this over yesterday and I would like you all to hear it. Rest assured that when I own a house in Maine, this will be the soundtrack to my mornings. Check out and download three preview tracks off his upcoming album, Patches of Blue .

Trying to keep consistent with the posts that I put together last year, this is my list of favourite new artists that I found in 2011. One caveat worth mentioning, a lot of these artists may have existed pre-2011, but only came on to my radar last year. Although this post really should have been published at the end of last year, I'm glad I'm finally getting to it. Stream them in playlist form via Spotify , Rdio and Grooveshark . [...]
About a month ago we announced a super duper holiday giveaway , asking you all for a paragraph about your favorite musical moment of 2011. We received a lot of great submissions. Seriously, we are stunned and humbled by what you've shared with us, dear readers. We wish we could print all of the stories we heard, but that would defeat the point and get out of hand, really. Here, we're sharing our favorite four. They touched us. They made an impression. They felt like a stories we'd want to tell our friends, if we had experienced them. They [...]

As blogosphere music geeks, we are all, myself included, prone to fits of indie snobbery. It's just the way it goes, but sometimes said snobbery ensures that we'll miss some pretty great records oftentimes based on an artist's name alone. In the same way a film snob might dismiss a movie as awesome as, say, Point Break (dating myself much?), one of us indie snobs may turn our nose at the mere thought of listening to a new record by Stevie Nicks [...]

I'll admit, I had a blast going through this past year in music and putting this list together. I'll also admit, I've run out of time this week, so this post will have to be quick.

Rau, karg und gleichzeitig satt und vollmundig. Das Londoner Duo Big Deal (Alice Costelloe und Kacey Underwood) haucht seine bitter-süßen Popsongs, die nur von einer elektrischen- und Akustikgitarre begleitet werden, scheinbar schüchtern und verschwiegen dahin. Doch dies hier ist Pop, der zwar in einer intimen Athmosphäre entstanden ist, der aber nur darauf wartet, dass er ausbricht; dass jemand die Tür weit aufstößt und sie nach draussen trägt. Stellt euch die Musik von Billy Bragg vor, von schönen Menschen gespielt. Direktlink bei Soundcloud

Words by Vicki I've been away from Pittsburgh for over 5 weeks now, and homesickness has begun to set in. Predictably, music has been my cure. First up was classic rock, starring my favorite guilty pleasure, Boston , and Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers' Greatest Hits album. Then I went for local Pittsburgh artists, playing Nik & the Central Plains , Donora , and New Shouts over and over. Now I'm craving good 'ol Americana, as rootsy and rough around the [...]

Usually when you think of steel drums you think of feet in the sand, heart in the islands, a cold sugary pink drink or some old rasta man trying to sell you some local ganja....

Yep - I just want to point out the awesomeness of Steel Drums in some hipster indie tracks that I've serendipitously stumbled upon lately!
