Yet another mp3 blog, online since October 6th, 2008!
(And here's the origin of this blog's name.)
Of course, I don't link directly to anything but mp3s that have been made available for free by authors or their labels, or that were digitised from public domain recordings.

Zak Sally – “Why We Hide”
From the tasty Cybersex (!) sampler released by Sub Pop. All tracks are top-notch indie.

Los Fancy Free - “Beatle Suit & Purple Boot”
There was always a strong Chicano garage rock subculture in California, but it sounds like they sure can boogie too across the border.

The Breeders - “Bang On”
Man, so many memories are linked to this band! Even their average albums are way ahead of the rest in terms of the number of hooks per minute. This song is proof that only a few vocal harmonies, a little clever guitar strumming and a wickedly efficient drum beat are needed to make great pop.

A sprawling composition from this 20-or-so-member outfit from one of alt. rock’s Meccas, Athens, GA. From the acapella intro to the monstrous guitar and sax riffage that follows, everything feels heartfelt and just as it should be.

Rob Crow - “I Hate You, Rob Crow (Single Version)”
Indie as they used to do in the 90s. I love my slice of unpretentious alt. rock from time to time, and Mr Crow (of Pinback fame) surely knows how to do it right.
